TOWARDS POLICY COHERENCE AND JOINT ACTION


On February 26-28, 2018, over 200 senior-level participants from governments, major Internet companies, technical operators, civil society, academia and international organizations from over 40 countries met in Ottawa, Canada, for the second Global Conference of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network. 


Building on the results of the first Global Conference in November 2016 in Paris, France, and subsequent intersessional work, stakeholders at the second Global Conference defined common objectives and Work Plans to develop concrete solutions to pressing jurisdictional challenges on the internet.

Today, the Secretariat releases the outcome document of this second Global Conference. It consists of the Secretariat Summary and the Ottawa Roadmap with concrete Work Plans for the three Programs of the Policy Network: Data & Jurisdiction, Content & Jurisdiction, and Domains & Jurisdiction.
