36 V I I . E U R O P E A N A N D I N T E R N AT I O N A L D I M E N S I O N S O F T H E D I G I TA L A G E N D A We actively participate in discussions conducted under the auspices of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) on the reorganisation of control over the assignment and coordination of critical Internet resources (domain name systems, IP addresses). At the same time, we are committed to the recognition of public interests (public policy issues) in ICANN‘s government advisory committee (GAC). To ensure recognition of our interests at ICANN, we will continue to regularly discuss our positions on issues relating to Internet governance with German stakeholders. We also support the development of the Sao Paolo Process for creating universal Internet principles. We will coordinate our positions on issues relating to Internet governance at European level. 4. Developing „international network law“ and the protection of human rights We want to establish clarity about the applicable „international network law“ to protect the prevailing fundamental rights and civil liberties in the digital world and augment opportunities for democratic participation in the global communications network. The right to privacy, freedom of information and free speech must also be enforced in the digital age. To this end, we are embarking on a multi-stage process to create recommendations for elements of an „international network law“. Important elements include the report presented by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the fourth round of the government experts process at UN level. Moreover: zzWe are actively supporting the discussion processes in the UN Human Rights Council and the UN General Assembly (including a German-Brazilian initiative entitled „The right to privacy in the digital age“). zzWe are increasing German involvement in www.freedomonlinecoalition.com. zzWe are continuing the „Internet and human rights round table“ with the involvement of civil society and the private sector. 5. Digitisation in development cooperation We are using digitisation as an important element of development cooperation. This includes: zzDriving cyber capacity building and, in a narrower sense, cyber security capacity building. zzExpanding the digital aspect of the Federal Government‘s Africa strategy. We are systematically examining and supporting the potential of a digital Africa and in turn learning from the progress made in this area by our partners on the neighbouring continent. zzDigitisation is increasingly seen as a cross-cutting issue in German development cooperation. We examine its feasibility in sectoral and regional programmes. zzWithin the area of governance, digitisation is seen and promoted as a means of transparent, efficient governance and administration in the partner countries of German development cooperation. zzWe regularly supply raw data on ongoing development projects to the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI), thus contributing to greater effectiveness and transparency in international development cooperation.
