Purpose

The purpose of the second Internet & Jurisdiction Observatory Meeting was twofold:

  • Analyze the transnational due process framework envisaged by I&J's global multi-stakeholder dialogue process notably from a legal perspective
  • Foster research collaboration and synergies among the members of the I&J Observatory by launching specific projects 

Moreover, Internet & Jurisdiction launched the official release of the two case collections 2012 and 2013 in Retrospect, which show the tension between the cross-border nature of the Internet and geographically defined national jurisdictions around the world.

The I&J Observatory

The members of the Internet & Jurisdiction Observatory network provide expert input into the global multistakeholder dialogue process and help the Internet & Jurisdiction to detect trends related to the tension between the cross-border nature of the Internet and national jurisdictions around the world. Based on a progressive crowd-based filtering process, they identify the most relevant cases. This ranking is the backbone of the Internet & Jurisdiction Retrospect, our monthly newsletter that informs the different stakeholders who participate in the ongoing dialogue process about emerging trends.
