The Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting held in Malta in 2005 emphasised this relationship in an explicit declaration mandating initiatives to counter the Digital Divide. Legal and regulatory infrastructures are recognised as a crucial component and enabler in the Internet economy. A plethora of issues need to be addressed by both developing and developed countries, spanning areas such as: the commercial environment, data-protection and freedom of information, regulation of the telecommunications sector and competition law, and governance of the Internet with focus on cybercrime and cybersecurity. DiploFoundation has been active in capacity building initiatives related to Internet governance and digital policy for many years. Through its many initiatives, Diplo acts on all levels, from local to global, and works together with many other stakeholders to ensure long-lasting capacity improvement in the sector. In September 2015, Diplo will present the 9th edition of the intensive pan-commonwealth workshop, on Legal Instruments of the Digital Economy, on behalf of the Government of Malta and in association with the Commonwealth Secretariat. Course Objectives The workshop on Legal Instruments for the Internet Economy aims to:
3 Sensitise policy-makers and senior public service officials to a comprehensive range of legislative and regulatory issues that need to be addressed for a sustainable and robust Internet economy in line with the principles of Good Governance. Illustrate different approaches taken and experiences gleaned through the adoption of model laws, regulatory mechanisms, and other frameworks; Provide an understanding of emerging issues and contemporary international dialogue on issues such as e-commerce, cybercrime, privacy, and IPR; Integrate analytical discussions and knowledge-exchange during each session; Discuss barriers and solutions, and next steps for implementing theory into practice; Summarise the lessons learned, provide additional resources, and facilitate long-term discussions on the various legal and regulatory issues among the delegates; Facilitate policy immersion of delegates within the wider community of digital policy and Internet governance professionals, and encourage continuity through long-term networking among the participants, facilitators, and community.

DRAFT PROGRAMME
4 The draft programme for the workshop Legal Instruments for the Digital Economy is as follows: Day 1 Monday 14th September Session 1.1 Opening, participant introductions; followed by event at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Malta 9:00 12:00 The workshop starts with registrations and introductions at the workshop venue. This is followed by an event at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Valletta, Malta, with a keynote address by the Foreign Minister (or representative), and a talk/presentation on Legal and Policy Changes for the Digital Era. Session 1.2 Introduction to legal and regulatory frameworks, participant presentations 14:00 17:30 Moderator to provide an overview of the legal and regulatory frameworks and issues, and discuss why regulation is needed, and what the legal and regulatory process consists of. To briefly introduce the various sessions forming part of the workshop as building blocks. Participants to provide a 10-minute overview of the main challenges facing each of their countries, and to discuss common legal and regulatory challenges (discussion to be moderated). Day 2 Tuesday 15th September Session 2.1 Internet governance 9:30 13:00 Internet governance is becoming a critical issue for the Internet economy, not least for stakeholders involved in legal aspects. In particular, legal and regulatory aspects permeate across the various issues, ranging from infrastructure to human rights aspects, from social cultural to security issues. Categorising the issues into baskets allows for a more structured understanding of the issues themselves, and the multifaceted legal aspects that are embedded in each. The session will provide an overview of the seven baskets of digital policy, and the legal and regulatory aspects tied to each basket, followed by a discussion on the fora and processes that give rise to new developments. Session 2.2 Intellectual Property Rights 14:00 17:30 Intellectual property rights are said to be the economy s engine for innovation and growth; yet, the Internet era has brought about various challenges, including illegal downloading, liability of Internet intermediaries, domain name disputes, and enforcement of rights. The session will focus on the current challenges to traditional copyright regimes in the light of existing legal frameworks related to IPR. The session will also tackle questions such as, how can prohibitive practices be tackled from a legal and regulatory perspective? What lies in store for IPR, and what is the role of open innovation, among other alternatives to traditional (proprietary) business models? Day 3 Wednesday 16th September
5 3.1 Site visit to the Malta Information Technology Agency (MITA) 9:00 12:00 MITA is the ICT service provider to the Government of Malta, and is the central driver of the Government s ICT policy, programmes and initiatives in Malta. The aim of the site visit is for participants to gain first-hand insights into Malta s experience, including the setting up of an ambitious ICT Strategy, and to learn how Malta is tackling technological developments such as electronic IDs and signatures. The site visit includes a tour of the state-of-the-art data centre. Session 3.2 Privacy and data protection 14:00 17:30 Privacy and data protection have been catapulted to the forefront following the recent revelations of surveillance programs. The result is a decline in the levels of users trust, and raised concerns over the protection of personal data, including data retention rules. How can trust be restored, and how can privacy and security be balanced better? The session will tackle the obligations of states and the rights of users vis-a-vis existing privacy legislation, including proposed frameworks such as the new EU data protection regime and its impact on European and non- European countries. The session will also discuss the recent judgment on the right to be forgotten. A representative from the Office of Data Protection in Malta will be invited. Day 4 Thursday 17th September Session 4.1 Jurisdiction and dispute resolution 9:30 13:00 Jurisdiction is one of the most controversial legal aspects, as it gives rise to many conflicts and challenges, yet remains an essential legal mechanism. Applied to the online world, the traditional concepts are further challenged, given that the Internet transcends geographical boundaries. New issues emerge, including the localisation of users, increasing legal uncertainty due to a rise in conflict of laws, and the need for new procedures and enforcement mechanisms. The session will tackle the main jurisdiction challenges posed by the Internet, and will discuss online enforcement mechanisms and forms of mutual legal assistance. The session will also explore the impact on related issues, including transparency, privacy, and freedom of expression. Session 4.2 Infrastructure & telecommunications 14:30 17:30 The way in which the telecommunications sector is regulated has an impact on many areas, including its further development. Countries in which the market has been liberalised have seen several advantages. The regulator plays a crucial role in ensuring that the benefits are reaped, and harnessing innovation. The session will focus on the role of the regulator, the local experience in liberalising the market of a small country, and aspects and challenges involved in operating in small and emerging markets. Day 5 Friday 18th September Cybercrime & cybersecurity
6 09:30 13:00 Cybersecurity Lab: Cyberspace has become an extension of the offline world, but while modern society is increasingly dependent on the Internet for the infrastructural, financial, security, education, health and many other sectors, so have the security risks increased. The session will map the main risks from cyberspace and cybersecurity issues, and will focus on cybersecurity in practice: How are attacks carried out, and how many attacks are carried out in real-time? What is the Darknet, and what does it host? Participants will be able to understand the main issues and challenges through live demonstrations. This will be followed by an overview of the main cybercrime incidents that have taken place in the past few years. 14:00 17:30 The session will look at the main international frameworks related to cybercrime and international peace and security in cyberspace, with a focus on law enforcement and emerging threats, and will tackle issues including: the threats which governments and users are facing; the challenges to international cooperation; and the ways in which capacity-building can improve a country s ability to overcome its challenges. From 19:00: Cultural programme and dinner Day 6 Saturday 19th September Conclusions 09:30 12:00 The final session will be dedicated to wrap-up and feedback. Participants will be asked to describe the lessons learned, and provide feedback and the workshop and topics covered in each building block. Time permitting, the session will include a discussion on the future of Internet Law. The workshop will end with a group photo and presentation of certificates.
