 Chairman Li Yujie of TWNIC, VP and APEC Managing Director Luo Jiarong of ICANN, Commissioner Dengwei Zhong of National Communications Commission, Dr. Vinton Sef, Edmond Zhong, and Akinori Maimura-san from the ICANN Board, Andrew Sullivan from the Internet Society, Paul Wilson from APNIC, esteemed experts, ladies, gentlemen, and non-binary friends, the local time. It is my great pleasure to be here virtually at the third ICANN APEC TWNIC Engagement Forum and the 37th TWNIC IP Open Policy Meeting organized by the TWNIC and the ICANN. In preparing this video, I checked the event program and I couldn't agree more of the event starting from the fundamental nature of the Internet to address the issues of Internet governance. These issues are highly related to Taiwan's national goals, both domestically, enhancing our nation's cybersecurity resilience, and globally, ensuring an Internet that is truly open and fosters competition, privacy, and respect for human rights. As a partner and signatory to the declaration for the future of Internet as April, we are committed to put more focus on the multi-stakeholder model on Internet resources allocation, cybersecurity, as well as infrastructure development. And with shared reality and distributed ledger technologies becoming the hot topics in the modern world, soon the Internet may empower all of us to live in a world where the physical and the virtual worlds are seamlessly intertwined. But while embracing unprecedented connectivity, we are inevitably facing the negative undercurrents, technology that bolsters authoritarian surveillance and corrodes democratic institutions. While democracies are fighting back with regulation, this conflict is not inevitable. Seven years ago, when Uber arrived in Taiwan, its presence was divisive, just as it has been in much of the world. But rather than letting the antisocial corners of social media pour in fuel on the flame, we adopted a multi-stakeholder policymaking process with thoughtful, deliberative conversations involving thousands of participants on how right-hailing should be regulated. We harness tools for digital democracy to cluster opinion, allowing every participant to quickly digest the clearest articulation of the viewpoints of their fellow citizens and then contribute back their own thoughts. And the views that drew support from across the initial lines of division rose to the top, forming a rough consensus that was swiftly turned into running code, including software and legal code. In Taiwan, the characters for digital and plural are the same, shu wei. Data altruism allows our civic tech community to co-create a plurality of services from pollution monitoring to distribution of masks and rapid tests. Open and reliable payment systems allow creative forms of crowdfunding to support public goods. Peer-to-peer reputation systems empower civil society to combat this information, often with humor over rumor, while maintaining our vibrant free speech. Indeed, the internet began as an experiment with such decentralized designs, yet a vision of its founders, like J.C.R. Licklider, on which ours is closely modeled, it was just partially realized. And today, we have the chance to build a future where technologies express and empower these important ideals rather than degrading them. And to accomplish this vision, we need joint efforts from industry and academic peers to take part in digital democracy, to make our tools serve our values, not the other way around. And with this, I wish the two-day forum a great success, with fruitful collections of valuable perspectives for both international and local community members. Thank you for listening. Live long and prosper.
