Reference excerpt

The Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network, also known as "I&J Policy Network", "Internet & Jurisdiction, or simply "I&J", is the multistakeholder organization fostering legal interoperability in cyberspace. Its Secretariat facilitates a global policy process between key stakeholders to enable transnational cooperation and policy coherence. Participants in the Policy Network work together to preserve the cross-border nature of the Internet, protect human rights, fight abuses, and enable the global digital economy. Since 2012, the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network has engaged more than 300 key entities from different stakeholder groups around the world, including governments, the world's largest Internet companies, the technical community, civil society groups, leading universities and international organizations. The Secretariat of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network is based in Paris, France. It was founded in 2012 by Executive Director Bertrand de La Chapelle and Deputy Executive Director Paul Fehlinger.

Enabling multistakeholder cooperation The Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network bridges relevant stakeholder groups and policy silos in order to enable transnational cooperation. It strives to fill the institutional gap in Internet governance at the intersection of digital economy, human rights, and cybersecurity. Through global, regional, and thematic meetings, its Secretariat facilitates a neutral dialogue process with the mission of building trust among the different actors and help them develop the operational solutions necessary for the coexistence of diverse laws on the cross-border Internet. The Internet & Jurisdiction Secretariat reports every year on progress at the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) organized by the United Nations. At the IGF 2016, The Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network was granted for the first time an "Open Forum", a format traditionally reserved to treaty-based organizations. In June 2016 at the OECD Ministerial Meeting on the Digital Economy in Cancún, Mexico, the Background Report Economic and Social Benefits of Internet Openness, cited the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network's multistakeholder process as being exemplary: "The [Principles for Internet Policy Making of the 2011 OECD Council Recommendation] endorse the development of voluntary codes of conduct through multi-stakeholder processes, such as the Internet & Jurisdiction [Policy Network]." In April 2018, the G7 Cyber Group expressed its support for the ongoing work of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network. The organization was selected as one of 40 worldwide initiatives to be showcased with a dedicated session to the inaugural Paris Peace Forum on November 11–13, 2018, which was attended by over 70 heads of state. The United Nations Secretary General Report on "Progress made in the implementation of and follow-up to the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society" referenced the work of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network and its 1st and 2nd Global Conferences in 2017 and 2019. In 2020, the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network was referenced by the Report of the UN Secretary-General's High-level Panel on Digital Cooperation, in the Chapter on Mechanisms for Global Digital Cooperation. The Global Conferences of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network are institutionally supported by six international organizations: Council of Europe, European Commission, ICANN, OECD, UN ECLAC, and UNESCO. In 2018, the I&J Secretariat signed its first formal Memorandum of Understanding with an international organization, the United Nations ECLAC.

Programs of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network The Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network's Programs foster policy coherence and develop concrete policy standards and operational solutions. Over 100 key stakeholders from all five continents are Members of their multistakeholder Contact Groups. Outcomes of the Programs include operational norms, criteria and mechanisms, which are jointly developed by their Members.

Data & Jurisdiction Program: How can transnational data flows and the protection of privacy be reconciled with lawful access requirements to address crime? Content & Jurisdiction Program: How can we manage globally available content in light of the diversity of local laws and norms applicable on the internet? Domains & Jurisdiction Program: How can the neutrality of the internet's technical layer be preserved when national laws are applied on the Domain Name System?

Global Conferences of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network The Global Conferences of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network are milestone meetings in which stakeholders take stock of the intersessional work and decide on common objectives and next steps for the policy development work. Stakeholder Plenary Sessions are held in the innovative heptagon seating format invented by the Secretariat of the Policy Network. They are organized in partnership with a host government, which were in the past France (2016), Canada (2018) and Germany (2019).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network

In research: Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2012 establishments in France, Internet-related organizations, Non-profit organisations based in France, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
