Session teaser

Implementing new technologies and changing standards has normally been met with debate and multiple concerns – whether technical, operational, financial, organisational, policy-related or an aversion to change. In this session there will be insightful analysis of the slow uptake or non-adoption of these consensual and agreed upon Internet standards, leading to a discussion on ways to encourage adoption.

Session description

The world is in constant change, and the Internet Community expects new technologies and engineering processes to meet growing demands (on capacity, functionality, security, privacy, etc.).
Internet Standards are normally approved with consensus from the technical community and other stakeholders, although some (like DoH - DNS over HTTPS) are controversial for different reasons.
It stands to reason that "consensual" new Standards implementation / deployment would be beneficial for the Internet Community, but for a multitude of reasons, many Standards have not been deployed as quickly as expected.

Some reasons for delay or deliberate non-adoption:

  • Lack of demand by customers (most non-technical customers don't understand the implications);
  • Decision makers and staff lack information and/or education/training (technical, security and privacy implications, costs versus benefits, capacity to understand the implications, etc.);
  • Resistance to change (e.g. "currently working, changing may fail and put my job or bonus at risk", etc.);
  • Financial reasons;
  • Insufficient human resources to implement change.


Some reasons for forced adoption:


In this session we'll:

  • Identify the "consensual" modern Internet Standards that had / are having implementation problems;
  • Implementation statistics;
  • Critical cases (e.g. points of no return, impossibility to continue to provide services or provide them at reduced functionality/performance, etc.);
  • Case studies for unsuccessful implementation, and respective reasons;
  • Case studies for successful implementation, and how can these positive examples be used in unsuccessful cases;
  • Consider how the strain in Internet and Cloud resources caused by COVID-19 has affected the perception of these problems, both on customer and provider perspectives ("Will this be an awareness turning point?").


The session discussion will feature multiple Key Participants (as well as Org Team members) representative of relevant stakeholders (technical community, Internet providers, political and regulatory, business and individual consumer groups, etc.).
Participation from the audience is encouraged.
