Original values of the internet • A universal and decentralised 'network of networks' • General Purpose, supports permission-less innovation • Openness, inclusivity, collaboration, transparency • Premised on voluntary exchange of data • Do these internet values still apply? Open and secure? • Protection of personal data? Necessary for democracy? • E 3 E integrity despite global reach (robust, resilient)? 4

Ability to CONNECT • FREE SPEECH: Internet, a valued medium of appropriate self-expression. Opportunities and challenges (fake news) • ENCRYPTION when necessary (e. g. to allow e-health, banking, public security and protect individuals e. g. investigative journalists) • PRIVACY: Control of Personal Data and online attributes, from anonymity to personal data spaces 5

ISOC 2017 -Paths to our Digital Future Apply human right online as well as offline Put users' interests first with respect to their own data Close digital divides, empower people Make the internet economy work for everyone General purpose, supports permission-less innovation 6

NGI Topics For 2020 Initiating Trustworthiness Service portability and data decoupling Architecture renovation Horizon Europe Horizon 2020 Resilient Internet Services Unbiased & privacy-respectful discovery of content & services Internet Hardening Securing end-user rights, protection and reputation Verification, accountability and automation mechanisms Promote freedom of use User empowering through freedom of choice Greening the Internet A maintainable Internet Optimisable, reusable and reliable open hardware 12

Democratic de/re centralisation Centralised Decentralised • One Choice • Monopoly • Proprietary Solutions • Clouds • Monitoring • AI • Asymmetric Data Flows • Multiple Choices • Net Neutrality, Open Access, Free Speech • Open Standards, OS, Open Hardware • Community Networks • Privacy and Security • Collective Intelligence • Decentralised Data Governance 13

Fixing asymmetry in data governance • Technologies already exist: • P 2 P networks (robust distributed architecture) • Blockchains and other distributed ledgers (decentralised certification and security of transactions) • Open data, linked data, permissionless access • To be generalised to clouds, social networks and Io. T • Robust standards, interoperability 14

Project DECODE 5 M€, 1/1/2017 DEcentralised Citizens Owned Data Ecosystem • • Data sovereignty: digital tools that place municipalities and citizens at the centre of control Decide if they keep their personal information private or share it for the common good Develop an open source ecosystem of tools, validate these in real life context Use decentralised algorithms based on blockchains • Contribute to robust open standards P 2 P, blockchains, smart contracts, fintech, OS developers, open hardware manufacturers, multiply local expertise in security, encryption) Civil society organisations (local communities, digital rights advocates, artisits, social scientists) Developers of digital 'for common cause' social applications and systems (creative industries, SMEs, social entrepreneurs, software developers) • • Social Innovation platforms feature in the Financial Times "creating an alternative data ecosystem" and "redesigning the digital economy by enabling users to control their own data" http: //decodeproject. eu/

EIC Prize: Blockchains for social good • "To develop scalable, efficient and high-impact decentralized solutions to social innovation challenges leveraging Distributed Ledger Technology, such as blockchains""Target is social innovation, decentralized solutions, transparency. Show clear benefits over conventional centralised platform solutions" • 5 awards of € 1 Million each, different social application areas • Deadline: 25 June 2019

NGI Questions • • • What's the role of non-human agencies in the future internet? How to use data analytics & complex system approaches to anticipate, understand improve societies? Can public engagement affect decentralization & good governance? Who has the right to copy? (vs. copyright) / Data ownership in NGI? How to include ethical concerns in NGI? How to support R&I, social enterprise models in next 10 yrs? Which technologies can provide better governance and freedom ? How to define negative experiences on the internet? How to empower citizens to cope with information overflow? 17
