Workshop on Governance of Technology, Information, and Policies (GTIP)
Addressing the Challenges of Worldwide Interconnectivity
December 6, 2011
In many nations, governments and businesses rely on information technology and the Internet for mission-critical functionality. A vast number of people also rely on computers and the Internet to conduct business and to establish and maintain personal and professional relationships. The worldwide adoption of these new technologies, however, has stressed the minimalist governance systems that were established when information technology and the Internet were used much more sparingly. These developments have produced unprecedented legal, policy, and technological issues.
For example, when cloud computing crosses national borders, which jurisdiction's privacy laws apply to data management and access? What types of disclosures should be required for customer/participant protection, and what regulatory structures are best suited for governing this rapidly moving data? For the Internet as a whole, what governance or regulatory structures, standards, and protocols are needed, and how do we ensure that regulatory decisions are based on sound scientific and technological information?
Despite laudable national, international and formal United Nations efforts, the "governance gap" is becoming more exacerbated as the use of collaborative technologies, virtual worlds, and cloud computing expands. This workshop is dedicated to exploring the governance issues that arise in this world-wide explosion of technology. It focuses on governance designed to achieve objectives of security, privacy, reliability, resiliency, and accountability, both technically and by governmental or quasi-governmental regulatory structures.
