| 2024 Submission 4 | Development in Critical infrastructure in America has been rapid in the past decade. There has been upgradation of the Technology integrated with the critical infrastructure facilities in the region. With the development of the IoT sector and 5G technology, there are opportunities for growth and potential vulnerabilities of national security concerns. Massive foreign investment also seems to add to the exposure as it potentially influences the foreign policy agenda of many American countries. Depending on these investments and diplomatic ties, the protection of critical infrastructure may be compromised - reflecting the need for cyber diplomacy as a tool to prevent cyberattacks as an act of war. Therefore we must discuss the connection of critical infrastructure security with Cyberdiplomacy | Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety • Data Governance and Privacy • Emerging Technologies • Sustainability | |
| 2024 Submission 6 | Persuasive computing Child online safety | Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety | |
| 2024 Submission 7 | Taking the US Cyber Trust mark global to protect consumers around the world. | Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety | |
| 2024 Submission 15 | US election security threats created by AI - video, calls, ads, social media posts that can be used to spread dis and misinformation and undermine 2024 election integrity. | Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety | |
| 2024 Submission 12 | Leveraging the Multistakeholder Approach for Combatting Online Abuse: Effective and Ineffective Engagement Strategies | Content Policy • Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety • Data Governance and Privacy • Online Harms | |
| 2024 Submission 16 | Promoting the deployment of Internet Standards and ICT best practices, by teaching large organisations, public and private, to procure secure by design and make consumer protection and advocacy organisations understand they have to take the IoT components into account when judging, respectively testing products, devices and services. Start a discussion on how tertiary cyber security education can close the skills gap between the offered education and the demand coming from industry and the technical community. | Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety • Data Governance and Privacy • Online Harms • Other | |
| 2024 Submission 17 | The inclusion of cybersecurity awareness and basic principles in early/adolescent public education. This inclusion would potentially improve cybersecurity gaps in the workforce, reduce the victimization in cybercrime on an individual level, boost national defense in a sense that the average citizen would be cyber-savvy enough to reduce attack surface. | Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety | |
| 2024 Submission 18 | It is time in the wake of the growing capability and use of AI that serious consideration be given to establishing a legal framework to protect individuals from having their image and likeness used without informed consent - deep fakes. In addition, the unauthorized use of such images, to include (audio recordings), that are altered without informed consent should constitute a cause of action resulting in civil penalties. Government regulatory bodies such as the FCC should be given the authority to sanction persons or entities that do so. | Artificial Intelligence • Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety • Data Governance and Privacy • Emerging Technologies • Online Harms | |
| 2024 Submission 22 | The Future of Internet Governance: Can Multi-Stakeholderism be Saved from Corporate Capture? | Content Policy • Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety • Digital Markets and Competition • Emerging Technologies • Online Harms | |
| 2024 Submission 34 | The current digital landscape struggles to offer a system that installs trust and confidence in online interactions. Despite the rapid growth of online services and the critical need for secure identification, there is no cohesive mechanism in place to introduce a level of trust that mirrors what we experience in the physical world. This has resulted in inconsistencies, vulnerabilities, and a myriad of security challenges. The Decentralized Identity Verification System (DIVS) aims to bridge this gap by introducing the trust of the physical world (e.g., governmental entities) into the digital space. By leveraging secure cryptographic systems and learning from experiences like the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), the goal is to build a digital identity framework that can serve as a robust layer of trust. | Access and Digital Inclusion • Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety • Data Governance and Privacy • Emerging Technologies • Online Harms | |
| 2024 Submission 30 | How municipalities are working with federal, state, and private partners to increase broadband deployment, digital equity and consumer protection. | Access and Digital Inclusion • Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety • Data Governance and Privacy • Digital Markets and Competition | |
| 2024 Submission 31 | Access and Digital Inclusion This panel will focus on redlining in the US and what does exclusion of these communities mean for our efforts to close the digital connectivity divide. The Panel will offer a retrospective on why many communities are being redlined, even during the past year when the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) has been available, and what can be done to make communities more attractive to providers. The panel will also attempt to provide some solutions on how communities can make themselves more attractive and bring in providers. | Access and Digital Inclusion • Artificial Intelligence • Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety • Data Governance and Privacy | |
| 2024 Submission 38 | I am interested in debates around safety and protections among and between online sex workers and the consumers of online sexual activity. Right now there is a confrontation between P*rnhub and the states of Virginia and Mississippi, where new age verification laws have made it difficult to provide their content without significant roadblocks. Many sex workers and activists are contesting the age verification laws, saying it makes it unreasonably difficult to provide their content. I saw an activist present on this topic at the 2023 Association of Internet Researchers and think its among the more important topics to discuss at an Integer governance forum. | Access and Digital Inclusion • Content Policy • Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety • Digital Markets and Competition • Online Harms | |
| 2024 Submission 40 | What happens when Presidents, Vice Presidents, and Prime Ministers provide real "Digital Leadership"? Today, most of the thorniest digital policy issues have been unresolved because within each national government, agencies have competing agendas. What can we learn from countries (including the U.S.) where top polotical leaders have forced the consensus needed to craft clear digital policies? | Access and Digital Inclusion • Content Policy • Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety • Data Governance and Privacy • Other | |
| 2024 Submission 43 | At IGF-USA 2024, we propose discussing the intersection of cyber norms and the metaverse, exploring how evolving digital landscapes shape international law and governance. Additionally, topics such as AI in cyberdiplomacy, the impact of cyber feminism on normative frameworks, and the role of drone technology in cyberspace security could foster insightful discussions on emerging challenges and opportunities in the digital realm. These discussions are crucial for promoting responsible conduct, safeguarding fundamental rights, and advancing global cybersecurity efforts in the digital age. | Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety | |

| 2024 Submission 50 | Online safety and well-being is a focus area for state and federal policymakers in the United States as the United Kingdom, European Union, Singapore, Australia and other companies are implementing new online safety regulations for social media and other online services. What are areas of consensus and opportunities to standardize online safety measures and compliance across regulatory systems? Are there measures that Congress or state legislators should pass that can improve the health, safety, and privacy of children online? | Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety • Online Harms |
