<br>
This is a post from Raquel Renno, NCUC member, on SSIG2017<br>
<br>
I've highlighted this excerpt about non-traditional debates on<br>
internet governance which are quite interesting to discuss and lacking<br>
in so many spaces.<br>
<br>
For instance, internet policy making against our backdrop of fragile<br>
democracies is an issue which is always swept under the rug.<br>
<br>
Have a nice reading!<br>

<br>
Not only subjects traditionally discussed in Internet Governance<br>
forums were presented, but also new and complex themes as algorithm<br>
governance and the challenges of Internet of Things were touched upon.<br>
Those subjects are a clear example of how the ¨three layers of the<br>
internet¨ – as defined by Law professor Yochai Benkler regarding IG:<br>
[1] physical infrastructure layer, code or logical layer and content<br>
layer  – seem to overlap. When algorithms [2] and AI [3] organize and<br>
sometimes directly interfere in the way a society receives and<br>
produces information, the regulation and policies, which normally<br>
follow general culture and practices of a community, have to be<br>
discussed sometimes before or during the introduction of a new tool or<br>
technology. These are some of the innovative subjects that the new<br>
generation of Internet Governance leaders will have to deal with. In<br>
the case of Latin America, things become even more complicated since<br>
emergent topics as regulation and management of IoT co-exist with<br>
basic issues that are part of social economic disparities and in many<br>
cases, fragile democracy, as the low Internet access and gender,<br>
linguistic, and racial diversity (that, according to the post [4] from<br>
Hudson Ribeiro, one of the students attending the course, was an issue<br>
even inside SSIG 2017).<br>
