If we want to use digitalisation for the good of all people, we need a joint, international framework. We need shared rules and standards that apply around the globe.
G20 Digital Policy
The Digital Ministers of the G20 and select guest countries focused on three core policy areas:
- Shaping digitalization at a global level to enhance growth and employment
- Developing international standards for industrial value creation
- Enhancing trust in the digital world through transparency
Bertrand de La Chapelle, Executive Director of Internet & Jurisdiction, joined the panel of experts addressing the topic of transparency in particular.
Internet & Jurisdiction's Work with Transparency
As indicated by the outcomes of the 2016 Global Internet and Jurisdiction Conference, transparency is a cross-cutting area for cooperation deeply relevant to cross-border requests for user data, content removal, and domain seizures.
Mr. de La Chapelle elaborated on the specific challenges to transparency in each of these fields, as well as Internet & Jurisdiction's work to foster transparency through multistakeholder cooperation.
