About the I&JPN Toolkits

The I&JPN Toolkits are the result of broad consultations with key policy actors since the 1st Global Conference of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network in 2016, and the tireless work of hundreds of governments, companies, international organizations, civil society, technical operators, and academics who have collaborated to develop interoperable solutions.

Designed for and by internet policy practitioners, each Toolkit includes:

- Overview of a core jurisdictional challenge in the field of data, content, and domains

- Insight into the I&JPN innovative methodology for multistakeholder policymaking

- Tools, common typologies, and frameworks to benchmark best practices and support practitioners 

Toolkit: Cross-border Access to Electronic Evidence

The I&JPN Toolkit on Cross-border Access to Electronic Evidence outlines the ways in which data flows and privacy can be reconciled with lawful access requirements to address crime. The Toolkit intends to inform public, private and civil society actors in their own activities and interactions in developing and implementing alternate practices for cross-border access to electronic evidence

Toolkit: Cross-border Content Moderation

The I&JPN Toolkit on Cross-border Content Moderation provides an overview of some of the key issues that arise when managing online content considering diverse local laws and norms.
