... he sat next to a blind man on a plane
... who told him that one of the biggest obstacles he encountered was reading
materials
... that weren't for the blind
... so first he developed a flat bed scanner
... and then he developed technology for speech synthesis
... a few years later, Lexis/Nexus
... used it to upload legal documents
... OCR has been used to digitize 10s of millions of books
... to make them searchable
... today you have OCR technology to read foreign language/signs
... useful for all of us
... this story reminds us that it has applications for all
... think about wearable devices
... for a young veteran with disabilities
... think about what a self driving vehicle can mean for the blind
... think about VR
... it's not just for gamers
... it's been used for teaching new wheelchair users skills for the real world
... sensors at grocery store could communicate w/ disabled user's phone
... classroom w/ RFID could animate signs for the deaf
... possibilities are endless
... which brings me to Bahrain
... it's hot and humid too
... for 165 nations
... they came together for the ITU global symposium of regulators
... at these fora, they come together to talk about regulation, spectrum,
adoption
... for the first time, the US decided to convene a session about disability
access
... to make the world more accessible for all
... it was a success, other countries were really really interested
... we talked about lessons learned
... in our 21st century disabilities act
... going forward, i think we need to hold sessions like this at every
gathering
... if we do this, I think in a few years we will see change at a global level
... Stevie Wonder, OCR, Bahrain
... put together policies for access to all in digital age
... policies for together
... push these policies out to the world
... Sirdup
... I'll spare you my musings
Music is a world within itself
With a language we all understand
With an equal opportunity
For all to sing, dance and clap their hands
jr: let's create a web with equal opportunity for
all
... to create, ... take a stand
[ Applause ]
jeff: thank you jr
... we've heard about accessibility, media, beauty, power
... change in pace, panel discussion on the future of the web
... moderator: Lee Rainie
... panelists, Fadi Chehade
... Jun Murai
... Darren Walker
[Lee Rainie (Moderator), Director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project; Fadi Chehadé, President and CEO, ICANN ; Jun Murai, Dean and Professor of the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies at Keio University ; Darren Walker, President of the Ford Foundation ]
rainie: thank you very much
... 90% of Americans on the web have said it's a plus
... improvement in lives
... 76% improvement in societies
... i think it's the same on the world
... as new countries in Subsahara come online
... they immediately become social
... they appreciate it
... first question
... how the thing that works in so many ways for so many people
... can stay that way
... moment of transition
... challenge for the web
... how should it be governed
... how should it be distributed
chehade: thank you
... happy birthday web
... governance systems of 21st century are challenged
... the more they're challenged, the more they're going to try to control
... (VP of Latin American Country ->) Fade, the web is powerful
... we governments like power, we're going to control
... it's a matter of time
... </quote>
... appreciate straight talk
... they're all trying to figure out how to participate
... it's up to us
... if we say no, what he said is what will happen
... if we find a way to let them participate
... the Magna Carta (of tbl)
... but the time is now
... let me give you one date
... UN General Assembly meets Sep-Oct every year
... next year it will be focused on the Internet/Society
... decide whether to keep the multistakeholder internet governance
... or scrap it
... time for governments to step in
... not a long time
... most of their thoughts will be shaped by June of 2015
... only a few months
... I want to make sure
... people here who care deeply
... make sure this group ...
... -- I come from a small minority in Egypt
... the web helped our group
... it's the most powerful source of solidarity
... we're now challenged
... we need to pay attention
... and find a role for governments
... if governments aren't able to participate
... they'll do it their way
... and their way is around the lines they're familiar w/
murai: most of you are from the US
... or Japan
... from Internet Developing companies
... 80-90% ratio
... world population, it's more 30-35%
... think about Internet subsuming Society
... many people in the world are living after Internet, assuming the Internet
... thinking about Industry, Health
... in Internet developed countries
... in several years from now, extended to global space
... responsibility of those experienced Internet Assuming countries
... need to be working toward global space After-Internet era
... 2)
... I'm involved in Internet Domain Name
... I remember late 90s
... presenting internet space
... interesting discussion
... now i'm working on truly global space
... for the first time
... i'm still discussing w/ Domain people about global space v. International
space
... still difficult to talk to Politicians/Students in Japan
... we're now responsible on a global space
walker: thanks
... i'm not a technologist
... i'm an American citizen
... president of an organization
... that cares about democracy
... cares about a utopian world
... creating a virtual global commons
... our real public commons is a contested space
... certainly in this country
... contestation of consumerism
... and citizenry is playing itself out in profound ways on the internet
... question is about mobilization of people for democracy
... not for buying things
... we need democracy, and participation
... how are we thinking about involving people
... questions we're thinking about
... where is the infrastructure of civil society
... people who care about civil rights
... we think about kinds of Capacity that need to be built
... kinds of organizations that need to be built
... for a democracy to be built
rainie: questions by vint
... questions about censorship
... only one country in which majority of citizens opposed censorship, was
Pakistan
[ List of countries wanted 75% opposed to citizenship ]
rainie: we did surveys of experts w/ Elon U in NC
... in this room
... asked recently about threats in internet
chehade: increased fragmentation
... had a 2 1/2 qq increase
... this was more than energy costs
... frictions on Internet have impact on human solidarity, freedoms
... frictions will increase if governments
... those who impose
... are unable to govern the internet any other way
... frictions can come from two other sources
... also by ISPs
... increasing concern that ISPs who are attacked quite significantly
... I met one of the largest IPSs
... they quadrupled their investment/staff
... sometimes their corporate customers ask why don't you create your own
network
... pressure from large corporates to fragment
... fragmentation takes away the magic
... that Vint helped make
... we need to help take away the friction
... 57 ways Boston RRR noted
... look at friction, who's contributing in your community/country
<marie> [/me to timeless (before my laptop dies): thanks so much for the great notes!]
chehade: and fight them
... pick one, fight them
murai: completely agree about Fragmentation
... #1 threat
... also, loss of transparency is another threat
... connecting
... typical one, Internet is dangerous, therefore disconnect internet
... hiding everything, losing transparency
... if their system is not transparent
walker: biggest risk is policy/politics
... we don't have political apparatus to address the issues
... in the way they need to be addressed
... yes scientists matters
... but citizens matter the most
... where are citizens in this
rainie: we'll open this to the audience
... mics in the middle of the room
... misperceptions/myths?
... people are not wise about technology
... they're not aware of what technology does for them
... what can educational/marketing efforts speak to them
murai: from a technical point of view
... who owns the data
... who owns the data is misinterpreted/misunderstood
... sensors
... owned by person, building?
... one thing concerned about
... After Internet
... every industry, Automobile, they're on the internet
... they're not communicating
... they're creating new silos on top of the Internet
<renoirb> They are still creating the new types of silos on top of the internet
rainie: you must be concerned everyday about how people misunderstand ICANN
chehade: biggest frustration is that people think
ICANN runs the internet
... biggest problem when I explained to President RR
... we don't run the internet
... it generates quite a bit of attention with website names
<renoirb> Fadi: The biggest frustration that I have is that I am not the president of the Internet.
chehade: and generates revenue
... one web/one internet
... that's all we do
... frustration i have
... many people think the only way they think the Internet can be governed
... is by creating a governance model
... that's top down
... antithetic to the Internet
... we'd like to create a poly-centric governance model
... ICANN, W3C, RIRs are nodes
... that's ill understood by current governance model
... look at my interactions w/ French government
... it means well
rainie: citizens aren't aware of how powerful of
their voices
... not sure about the voice/space itself
... how are you thinking about
... driving them so their voice can count
walker: this is where people like you really
matter
... i exist w/ Kellog, Rockefeller
... these give millions of dollars away to further poverty reduction
... there's such weak understanding
... i sit at a table w/ people trying to improve high school graduation rates
... they're using technology that's a decade old
... they're using that's intimidating
... when Di-ann
... was talking, change philanthropy through mass participation
... bring people together through grassroots
... huge power
vint: you mentioned things Decades Olds
... Magna Cart 1216, 800 years
... Westphalia XXX, 400 years
... about time to examine these things
... these ideas were extremely important/powerful at their time
... in particular case of the treaty
... established notion of nations, boundaries
... as june pointed out
... global environment, shared space, not separated by nations/boundaries
... post-westphalian world w/ the advent of the Internet/WWW
... leads to notion which ICANN blazed
... multi-stakeholder notion
... government, private sector, civil society all have a role
... when governments are created, their purpose is to protect population from
harm
... by establishing limits to protect
... you can go to an extreme SAFE but NOT HAPPY
... dilemma, separation of two possible histories
... 1) cooperative engagements with governments
... 2) defensive crouch by governments
... chehade, talking about them vs. us, it's often us-vs-us
... as we're responsible for them
... how to facilitate a cooperative world
... as opposed a defensive ...
[ Applause ]
chehade: never disagree w/ vint
... vint has been leading this work
... where the worldview that the westphalian world view has been challenged
... how do we find a way to bring governments and governance in sync
rainie: a youth culture around the world
... not as attached to government sovereignty
... maybe generational change
Speaker1: ...
... one of them is, depending upon DNS to hold the world together
... by default, that surgical thread expires every year
... don't we need to find a stable world
chehade: you're saying DNS is central
Speaker1: DNS is a thread that holds all the
links together
... by default, every link fails
... that gives government a way to deny access
... shouldn't we make this our infrastructure
chehade: I think we should
... when I met tbl in London and I was starting ICANN
... he said, when we started this thing, we hoped there would not be a single
point of failure
<Bert> (Speaker is Bob Frank-something)
Speaker1: we should stop having to pay yearly
chehade: that's a yearly model, that we'll need
to talk about
... the size that it grew to is alarming
... we just conducted a second auction between warring parties over a new TLD
... the last month, the auction proceeds exceeded $30 million
... that disturbs me
... we put these monies in a separate bucket
... we won't use them until we figure out what to do with this
... both tbl and vint worried about this
tbraken: Tom Braken, new TLD .build
... to chehade, what this new community of hundreds of top level domains
... communities, or areas (.paris, .london), or brands (.apple)
chehade: i want to separate the issue of Money
from Value
... i think there's value
... I was in Paris with the mayor when he introduced .paris
... I was in the Vatican when they introduced .catholic
... some will fail, as they should
... others will do very well
... as for the impact on governance
... a Turkish company applied for .islam
... this wasn't amusing the the Saudi government
... Amazon applied for .amazon
... a few hundreds in Latin America didn't like that
... they thought they owned the Amazon
... there was .gay
... who has to prove that they represent the community
... governance is proving equal to governing cultural fissures
Speaker3: question is similar to...
pentland: I remember a conversation w/ it
minister in Brazil
... he said we're not trying to break up the internet
... we just want some say
... they just want some control of commerce
... they want something that's acceptable
... you mentioned the UN
... i'm on a committee to advise the Secretary General
... the document will be released on Nov 6
... the UN will vote on sustainable goals
... governments will need interoperable data policies
... and companies will need reporting
... and this goes to an open Commons
... that's necessary for a sustainable future
... need to be visible to compare apples to oranges
... higher priority for countries
... they're committed to this (open Commons)
... grow on that Commons
... to support the vision we'd like to see
... but faced w/ the reality that there will be some local control
... not popular, but political
murai: to chehade,
... Being hosted by World Economic Forum
... World Economic Forum
... if we think about the economy of the world
... global issue
... thinking about individual person on the entity, is a global entity
... Internet is Global, Web is Global
... is that the nature of the world to be hosted in the World Economic Forum
chehade: thank you murai
... allow us to find a way to balance global rules of global policies
... with needs of local things
... to solve things to the closest way
... approaching the world for poly-centric internet governance
... for murai, some will be announced next week
... two initiatives in the works
... one is in the WEF
... things have been happening in WEF, they've been happening on the sides of
that important body of decision makers
... in the last few months, we've arrived with the founder
... this year in Davos, we'll have ...
... because of that, we're getting very serious participation
... prime minister Modi
... government of China
... governments are responding that they want to engage in Davos
... important because it will impact General Assembly next year
... second
... they meet and discuss models for privacy/management of data
... how do these go from privacy
... how do we go about to make policies for ways we use the Internet
... when we met President Usef
... what did she do? she went to the UN in 2013 (to the General Assembly)
... saying "solve this"
... we met her in Brasilia
... saying that she should bring platforms
... and she agreed
murai: i didn't mean to leak your announcement
walker: we've seen this story before
... this idea that it would devolve to regions
... at the country level, the capacity to engage
... where's that capacity going to come from?
... the power imbalance
... i think of WEF
... this should be the World Democracy Forum, not WEF
chehade: you're spot on why we need both things
to happen
... but what's different from any effort in the past
... this time, we're starting from the bottom up
... that's never happened before
... it wasn't even possible
... when Di-Ann was talking
... should used the word crowd-governance
... we need to bring all of us
... major call to action
... stay tuned (next week)
rainie: last two questions before tbl
Yosuke_Funahashi: W3C
... i'd like to hear
... what are the dreams you'd like to achieve for 5 years, or 10 years later
for the web
rainie: we'll make that the organizing principle of dinner conversations
BobHinden: BBB
... we should build the web/internet that we want
... tbl
... Internet has always had hard issues
... we shouldn't let that stop us
... my kids sort of grew up always having the internet
... which i think is
... there's a new generation coming
... not the people "what are the tubes?"
... late senator from alaska
... when you see my grandson using an iPad
... it won't even be a question
... what we're building here
... the momentum, the trend, the people
rainie: nice final world
... thank you
[ Applause ]
<renoirb> ... Current generation is building the upcoming government policies.
jeff: final speaker is tbl
... Sir Tim Berners-Lee
... thank you tbl
<renoirb> Jeff Jaffe, on stage. Introducing sir Tim Berners Lee
jeff: and tbl will offer closing remarks
tbl: problem w/ closing remarks
... don't appear on stage w/ animals+children
... don't appear after people
... these are my people
... don't talk too fast
[ Applause ]
tbl: never appear on stage after someone has
played on stage w/ a 3d-xylophone
... it's been great to have people talking about the future
... concerns and hopes
... good to hear about ideas
... extending well out into the future
... way outside of the things we've been talking about
... taking it back to the W3C
... 25th anniversary of the WWW
... 20th anniversary of W3C
... for me, it's been pretty amazing
... 25 years ago, i invented this thing
... we had the internet
... Internet dreamt up 40 years ago
... we had netnews
... we had email
... people emailed me that he found out about this
... Kevin Hues created a dinosaur exhibit in Hawaii
... I woke up
... president of university, puzzled about this dinosaur exhibit
... hundreds of people didn't know about the web at all
... but lots of people did get it
tbl: if everybody did this, that would be really
cool
... some say it'd be cool, and do nothing
... some say and do
... i had a list of web site when there were 26
... that was the last time i had a list
... historical artifact
... really amazing: the spirit
... this could be really really cool
... spirit of collaboration
... original HTML spec
... basically one web page
... list of the tags
... there were 6 tags
... we just released the HTML5 spec
... a lot thinker, a lot more tags
... as soon as we released 6, there were ideas for more
... but people agreed to work to consensus
... settled on
... we didn't yet call a standard
... the web was built by people w/ that sort of spirit
... 5 years later, we built a consortium, because companies said we needed
that
... something we'd understand
... specs for the web
... things more than just on my machine on my desk
... CERN.ch
... huge kudos to the companies that got involved early on
... huge kodus to CERN 1983
<renoirb> ... We need to have to understand, a process, shared and with consensus
tbl: after a discussion of the gopher protocol
... was subject to royalties
... we went to CERN
... CERN made that statement
... about 10 years later
... the consortium made an equally important phase
... called out by a nasty occasion
... where people joined a WG to trap people into a protocol
... and then we created the Patent Policy
... bit-by-bit as the spec is produced, companies give of IP
... companies organized on a business model where entire divisions were suing
people
... people had to say "we understand this is important"
... but "we hear from engineering/products that this is important"
... on this 20th anniversary
... my huge thanks to the people of W3C
... it's a wide group
... two types of people
... great and good
... wise people
... we'd invite to speak on stage
... the others, because we plunked this in the middle of your meetings
... you're trying to work on the minutiae of how the web works
... we have 2 1/2 days, pausing
... this, and then 2 days diving back in
... we try to make specs good, fair, fast
<renoirb> tbl: We want to make it fair
tbl: too good, take too long
... too fast ...
... W3C, we have to continuously balance those
... to get that optimal
... good, fair, fast,
... pushing people really hard
... huge workloads
... phone conferences in the middle of the night
... so their colleagues can do them during the day
... all of you
... consortium consists of more than the people in the room
... and thanks to the families, spouses
[ Applause ]
tbl: sorry about
... and the 2am phone calls
... we appreciate what they do
... about Layers
... Politics (8), Religion (9)
... when ISO folks dreamt up the numbers for the layers
... lower folks over packets
... Packets around/across the internet
... transport is Layer 4
... your laptop just needs to know a name/number
... doesn't have to know about the in between
... cloud storage, stuff things in, things come out on the other end
... HTTP, HTML
... we could do the things that this layer does
... w/o worrying about TCP
<renoirb> tbl: "Stuff came in, stuff came out" dont care about anything else
tbl: they may not have designed the layer numbers
in mind
... something flat
... no bumps
... you can construct things on it any way you like
... simple interface, squirting in, squirting out
... no constraints about what you put on top
... property of platform, it's sound
... technologie start off 300bits/s ('89)
... billions of bits/s
... trains don't go billion miles per hour
... we need to keep the layers both socially
... and policy-wise
... and technical
... design TCP
... don't peak inside the packets
... in general, except special occasions
... policy bit
... buy our internet
... the people who sell our internet shouldn't put constraints on it
... separate market for the Internet
... has worked really well
... really important
... why did i mention it?
... because jr is here
... [ FCC commissioner ]
... it's important
... why it's been taking off
... it's really important
... supplies connectivity
<renoirb> tbl: To maintain a separation between things
tbl: developed completely separately
... that that layer is neutral
... a big part of the Magna Carta
... is neutrality
... not just for market reasons
... not just for ISPs to be paid in an appropriate fashion
... but the things we build in our lives
... are so critical to health
... to communications in families
... to political
... we just have to take the neutrality of the medium
... the independence
... in this country
... if you go to the Newseum
... they have a carved amendment for freedom of press
... we should have an amendment
... congress shall make no law that interferes w/ the internet
... browsers need to be able to break the layers for debugging
... but sometimes, we need to break layers to be open minded
... sometimes we need to spend time defending it
... you're a web level engineer, making cool websites/cat videos
... sometimes you have to spend a bit of time worrying that your ISP owns the
cat-video-market
... we should break the layers in that respect
... trying to follow vint's model
... hypothetical pages
... good model
... open web platform
... every web page is a programmable computer
... you can roll out anything you can program
... especially w/ WebRTC
... you can design whole new computers, distributed systems
... because we have this platform
... but also
... 25/20th anniversary
... also think about applications
... application layer is code for things that uses us
... think about who's going to use us
... why are we doing this
... what's important in this world
<renoirb> tbl: We should have a duty to remind ourselves about the why we are doing this
tbl: millennial goals
... Ford Foundation
... inequality
... wish for anything in your life
... something to cure cancer/alzheimers
... massive goals
... some of them are really
... we'll be in dire straight
... massive challenges for humanity
... some of those things we can't do unless
... our political systems become more functional
... if we're going to fix the world, we'll need to make technology more
functional
... design a social network in an application
... when people Tweet
... look at what happens when Tweets go across the twittosphere
... emotionally powerful tweets get retweeted
... even powerful people
... after a couple of rounds
... you either see happy/grumpy
... could we deliberately design a system
... instead of it saying you have 374 friends
... you may need to meet this person because he knows half of them already
... it takes your social graph to a big solid lump
... if you only meet friends of your friends
... when you go to a party
... you'll only meet people who were at the last party
... no new ideas
... so suppose you introduce stretch friends
... different religion
... different gender
[ laughing ]
tbl: different country
... different party
... too much of a stretch?
[ laughter ]
tbl: figure out to use this stuff for humanity
... allow us to interact
... tend to be more effective
... be accepting of each other
... huge amounts of effort to achieve something
... sacrificing
... your own way of looking at things
... because you just realized that the other person's way is ok too
... things you do in WGs
... W3C: build software, build systems
... consensus organization
... we need to make the world a consensus organization
... thank you
[ APPLAUSE ]
[ Standing ovation ]
jeff: thanks tbl
... and the speakers and panelists
... thank once again the W3C20 sponsors
... intel, ...
... we'll now break for a little more than an hour
... before we reset the room for dinner
... quiet rooms, for email
... rooms for demos
... rooms for technical conversations
... signs on the rooms throughout the hotel
... dinner 7:30-10pm in this room
... use this time however you like
... seating @ 7:15
... see you in another hour
... thank you
