Program

To build trust, foster mutual understanding of common policy priorities, and discuss modalities for joint action, the 2016 Global Internet and Jurisdiction Conference was organized without formal panels to encourage dynamic exchanges among participants. It was structured around Stakeholder Plenary sessions on Day 1 and 3 and three parallel Workstreams on Day 2.

The Internet & Jurisdiction Secretariat facilitated preparatory work for each Workstream and provided input papers to help structure discussions.

Discussants and participants had equal speaking times in stakeholder plenary sessions, with interventions capped at three minutes to facilitate interactions. All Workstreams on Day 2 were held under Chatham House Rule.
