烏俄衝突下的全球網路治理規則改變？

/ 行事曆 / By

俄國入侵後約一週，烏克蘭政府向 ICANN 正式提出要求對俄羅斯實施制裁，停止俄國頂級域名 .ru、.рф及.su解析，並要求關閉位於俄國的DNS根伺服器，信中還提到將要求歐洲IP位址管理機構 RIPE NCC 取消其核發給俄國所有IPv4與IPv6位址的使用權。

對此，RIPE NCC已回應將持續以中立的立場提供具權威性資料服務避免受到偏見或政治影響；ICANN執行長也正式回覆不會為烏克蘭刪除俄羅斯頂級國碼網域名稱請求，但會保障烏克蘭公民不會因域名到期而無法繼續使用。

全球都關切的烏俄衝突，戰地不只是在實體世界，在網路世界中也一樣如火如荼，例如網路攻擊癱瘓政府或企業網路服務，或以資訊戰方式混淆民眾對戰爭真實現況的認知，連既有網路關鍵資源的治理原則也在此波衝突中被提出挑戰，包括ICANN前任董事等多位網路專家更提出建議，在適當原則下仍可考慮採取網路制裁的選項。

有人質疑，ICANN是受美國加州法律規範的私人公司，RIPE NCC 是在荷蘭阿姆斯特丹立案的組織，若未來歐美國家決定對俄羅斯做出制裁時，這些國際組織是否應依當地法律採取對應的制裁行動。若再進一步探討封鎖俄國網路資源取得或使用權的制裁手段，是否真的能夠達到初始烏克蘭政府所提出的遏止不實訊息散佈或減少網路攻擊目的？此類禁令是否應當納入制裁選項？倘若實施又可能對全球網際網路造成什麼影響？未來網路空間規範 (norm)有沒有可能因此改變？

本座談邀請長期投入全球網路政策制定的專家，分析ICANN當前政策如何回應烏俄衝突，並進一步探索網路治理原則未來可能改變的方向，以及值得臺灣未來關注的發展。

Internet Governance After Ukraine-Russia Conflict

/ Calendar / By

One week after Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine government representative sent a letter to ICANN president and CEO asking to address an urgent need to introduce strict sanctions against the Russian Federation in the field of DNS regulation. The requests include revoking the domains of “.ru”, “.рф” and “.su”, revoking for SSL certificates for the abovementioned domains as well as shutting down DNS root servers situated in the Russian.  The representative also requested RIPE NCC to withdraw the right to use all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses by all Russian members, and to block the DNS root servers that it is operating.

RIPE NCC and ICANN have both rejected Ukraine’s requests.  The Executive Board of the RIPE NCC believes that the means to communicate should not be affected by domestic political disputes, international conflicts or war.  ICANN CEO further indicated the organizations’ support to Ukrainian. These developments have prompted urgent discussions on the existing critical Internet resources global governance principles and appropriate internet sanction possibilities.

Some may doubts if ICANN or RIPE NCC, which are legally binding by California (US) and Amsterdam (Netherland) laws, will have to follow their respective authorities’ command to implement sanctions. Some are arguing that, blocking Russia from accessing Internet may not be helpful for achieving Ukraine’s goal to mitigate the harms of false information spreading and cyber-attacks. What will be the consequences if Internet governance institutions heeded the sanction request?

The panel invite experts with rich internet policy making experiences to talk about how the Internet governance institutions respond to the Ukraine-Russia conflict, explore the possible changes of global Internet governance principles, and identify key factors Internet community in Taiwan may pay attention in the future.
