		<description><![CDATA[It appears people, governments, regulators and legislators worldwide may have forgotten Facebook's complicit involvement with Cambridge Analytica (CA). It is possible that new priorities such as the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 may have pre-occupied them, and rightly so. But an unprecedented data breach in 2019 unfolded this weekend, bringing a recurring nightmare of the past back into today's reality. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20210405-facebook-the-dark-empire-and-regulate-it-accordingly">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Is UN SG Guterres Driving the Bus That Macron Threw UN IGF & Multistakeholderism Under at IGF Paris? (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20190617_is_un_sg_guterres_driving_bus_that_macron_threw_un_igf</link>
		<description><![CDATA[A fresh & transparent, community-led, bottom-up, public debate has now become unavoidable and undeferrable. "....we need limited and smart regulation" were the clear and unambiguous words of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres at the launch of the final report of his UN Panel on Digital Cooperation last week in New York. Last November, I wrote about President Macron throwing down the gauntlet at UN IGF Paris challenging IGF and Multistakeholderism to become more relevant.  <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20190617_is_un_sg_guterres_driving_bus_that_macron_threw_un_igf">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20190607_can_icann_survive_todays_global_geo_political_challenges</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, the Presidents of four Latin American countries slammed ICANN over its .amazon domain name decision. This added to a long list of geo-politically infused challenges which ICANN needed to render final decisions on after all delay tactics or deferments had already been fully exhausted. It is clear that ICANN is facing unprecedented challenges as it tackles issues that go beyond its current narrow mandate. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20190607_can_icann_survive_todays_global_geo_political_challenges">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Has President Macron Thrown Multistakeholderism Under the Bus at UN IGF 2018 Paris? (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20181113_has_president_macron_thrown_multistakeholderism_under_the_bus</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, President Macron threw down the gauntlet to President Trump and the US administration on Multistakeholderism. In his welcome address to IGF 2018 Paris a few hours ago, President Macron challenged IGF to become more relevant by reinventing itself in factoring in multilateralism into IGF's non-decision-making body and to move beyond the mere talk-ship lip service it has been for the last 13 years. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20181113_has_president_macron_thrown_multistakeholderism_under_the_bus">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The world has officially entered what the MLi Group labels as the "New Era of The Unprecedented". In this new era, traditional cyber security strategies are failing on daily basis, political and terrorist destruction-motivated cyber attacks are on the rise threatening "Survivability", and local political events unfold to impact the world overnight and forever. Decision makers know they cannot continue doing the same old stuff, but don't know what else to do next or differently that would be effective. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20171109_qatar_crisis_started_with_hack_now_political_tsunami_saudi_arabia">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Qatar Crisis started with a targeted Poli-Cyber hack of an unprecedented nature. Its shockwaves and repercussions continue to alter political and business fortunes, directions and paradigms not only in the Gulf region but globally. Almost everyone around the world is now aware of the this crisis that started early June.

		<description><![CDATA[Conventional thinking or solutions will no longer work in the new era of ISIS and the 'Unprecedented' cyber and non-cyber attacks we live in today. Like it or not, everyone is impacted, and no one is immune. Whether you are an average citizen, a chairman or CEO of a multinational, or a government or academic institution leader, the questions to ponder are: Do you know what to do next? Do you know what the solution is? <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20170601_conventional_thinking_wont_work_in_new_era_of_isis_cyberattack">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While conventional cyber attacks are evolving at breakneck speed, the world is witnessing the rise of a new generation of political, ideological, religious, terror and destruction motivated "Poli-Cyber&trade;" threats. These are attacks perpetrated or inspired by extremists' groups such as ISIS/Daesh, rogue states, national intelligence services and their proxies. They are breaching organizations and governments daily, and no one is immune. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20170113_cyber_terrorism_rising_cyber_security_strategies_what_to_do">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, this is how easily "TRUST" by your users/customers can be shattered, your revenues devastated, your share value plunged into the abyss, and your business destroyed. Furthermore, conventional thinking belongs only in university libraries, not in board rooms. It is time to seriously consider other innovative Out-Of-The-Box Solutions and doing things differently, or start writing your business obituary. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20161216_yahoo_1_billion_accounts_hacked_a_chilling_warning">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I asked on a post elsewhere, why we, at the MLi Group, chose to consider speakers, panelists, supporters and sponsors at our Global Summit Series (GSS) as "Thought Leaders" and "Trend Setters? Many wrote me directly offering their answers and then it dawned on me that my answer may (or may not) get appreciated by many at the ICANN community. So here is why we do. <a href="https://circleid.com/poststhought_leaders_create_new_trends_solutions_followers_just_follow_which_are">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unprecedented new Political and Cyber Security Threats are happening at a scale that has never been witnessed before. These threats are large and malicious enough to take down nuclear programs, render oil refineries inoperable, and take billion-dollar websites offline (not to mention smaller ones). Recent events confirm that NO ONE IS IMMUNE. Despite the obvious warning signs, Internet business stakeholders the world over continue to act as if nothing has changed, and seem unaware that global paradigms have undergone a seismic shift almost overnight. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20150724_global_paradigms_relied_upon_were_destroyed_overnight">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The United Nations International Telecommunications Union (ITU) announcement that by end 2014, there will be nearly three billion Internet users -- two-thirds of them from the developing world -- with mobile-broadband penetration approaching 32 per cent. This information is so timely that it needs to be put in proper perspective by asking: What will the majority of these two-thirds do online? And how do we in the ICANN community deliver on our mandate of serving the global public interest? <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20140507_3_billion_net_users_but_what_will_majority_in_emerging_markets_do">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Proper, transparent, accountable U.S. NTIA's Transition of its oversight of the Internet to something other than a single country oversight is something I have always believed in and spoke and written about repeatedly for years and is long overdue. But NTIA's March 14th declared intent to transfer "Key" Internet roles is not only very ambiguous but leads to new questions and concerns that must be answered before anything starts taking place. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20140317_is_ntias_transition_decision_right_doze_of_chemotherapy_to_repair">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many who attended the ICANN Durban meeting this summer will recall the open forum were speakers lined up to call on ICANN to either speed up or slow down the new gTLDs depending on their position or interest. I chose to address a different topic that no one was yet willing to tackle publicly. It was PRISM and the NSA surveillance scandals. In my intervention I was also the first to also publicly warn ICANN and Fadi Chehade directly that "Trust" in ICANN and Multistakeholderism face serious perils from the Snowden revelations... <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20131107_prism_multistakehoderism_cancer_scare_montevideo_declaration_icann">More...</a>]]></description>
