Carlos Alvarez

Trust and Public Safety Engagement Director

Carlos’s work is currently focused on helping the Internet community address abuse of Domain Name System resources, by:

  • Providing subject matter expertise on contractual and policy matters with potential anti-abuse and consumer protection implications.
  • Trust-based collaboration with worldwide cyber law enforcement and the operational security community.
  • Capability building, via training law enforcement and other constituents involved in the operation or the security of the Internet identifiers.

He served in the past in ICANN's Contractual Compliance Team where he managed the team responsible for processing all registrar-related complaints worldwide. He also provided key subject matter expert advice and guidance to ICANN's Contractual Compliance Audit Program and to the gTLD registry-related work of the Compliance Team.

Prior to joining ICANN, Carlos participated in the International Attorneys Program at Holland & Knight in Miami and served as the head of the Legal & Business Affairs Division at Sony Music for Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Peru. While in this position he was a member of the Andean legal committee of the IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry).

He was a pioneer in Latin America in matters related to software anti-piracy, information security from a legal perspective and cyber crime, initially through his work with the local law firm of the Business Software Alliance in Colombia since 1998. His articles on piracy and terrorism, cyber crime, botnets, digital evidence, criminal aspects related to the use of honeypots, legal aspects of information security standards, the Budapest Convention, and other related matters have been published in Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico and Spain. He taught computer law, legal aspects of information security and intellectual property in two universities in Bogota and has lectured before many different audiences in the Americas, Europe and Asia, from students to c-level executives, as well as government representatives, regulators, law enforcement, and military and intelligence personnel.

He maintains working relationships with law enforcement cyber units from different countries and while still living in Bogota was a member of the local Electronic Commerce Subcommittee of the International Chamber of Commerce. Carlos is a former co-chair of the Messaging, Malware and Mobile Anti Abuse Working Group (M3AAWG)'s Anti-Phishing Special Interest Group and is a co-chair of M3AAWG's DNS Abuse Special Interest Group.

Carlos is an attorney graduated from the Universidad de los Andes in Bogota. He holds a Master of Laws degree from the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, and has studies on networking with TCP/IP from UCLA.

Participants in the International Security and Diplomacy in Cyberspace event

El ministerio colombiano de las TICs, junto con la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA) y ICT For Peace, organizaron el evento denominado 'Seguridad internacional y diplomacia en el cíber espacio' que tuvo lugar entre el 18 y el 20 de noviembre en Bogotá. El evento contó con la colaboración de los gobiernos de Canadá, Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido, el Comité Internacional de la Cruz Roja, la Organización para la Seguridad y la Cooperación en Europa, el Instituto Internacional de Estudios Estratégicos, la Universidad Simon Fraser y la Fundación Simons.

Los temas centrales del evento fueron las denominadas 'medidas de construcción de confianza' o CBMs, por sus siglas en inglés, en asuntos relacionados con cíber seguridad. Las CBMs son usualmente definidas como medidas que permiten atender, prevenir o resolver asuntos que generan incertidumbre entre los Estados y suelen tener como efecto la generación de confianza y la no escalada de conflictos u hostilidades.

El evento permitió a representantes de 27 países de la región recibir información relacionada con el derecho internacional y el desarrollo de políticas, con la construcción de confianza entre Estados y el rol de las organizaciones regionales e internacionales, entre otros. También pudieron participar en un ejercicio de simulación muy interesante, dirigido por el profesor Paul Meyer, ex embajador del gobierno de Canadá.

Por amable invitación del Programa de Cíber Seguridad de la OEA estuve presente durante todo el evento representando a ICANN y participé como panelista en el último día, discutiendo acerca de asuntos legales y técnicos relacionados con la protección de infraestructura. Dado el rol que jugamos nosotros (mantener y mejorar la seguridad, la estabilidad y la resiliencia del Sistema de Nombres de Dominio, que es parte de la infraestructura sobre la que opera todo el Internet), tuve oportunidad de compartir nuestras experiencias de todos los días en el Departamento de Seguridad, Estabilidad y Resiliencia de ICANN en relación con la vinculación que debe existir entre el sector privado y las agencias de policía y en la construcción de comunidades de confianza, que son necesarias para la lucha contra las diversas formas de abuso en temas cibernéticos.

Fue una excelente oportunidad para intercambiar información y experiencias con colegas de tantas nacionalidades y para que la región discutiera acerca de un tema que nuestros países están en mora de tratar, así como para compartir un buen café con viejos y nuevos amigos.

Queda mucho camino por recorrer en los países latinoamericanos y caribeños, lo importante es que ya se está recorriendo. Y allí estaremos, como organización, proveyendo la asistencia que sea necesaria para que los operadores de la infraestructura de Internet en la región, las agencias de policía y la comunidad de seguridad en América Latina y el Caribe recorran ese camino a paso firme y seguro.
