Internet & Jurisdiction 2014 Milestone Meeting in Paris
I&J convened
March 26, 2014
Exploring the Elaboration of Transnational Due Process Frameworks
The first I&J Milestone Meeting took place on March 11-12, 2014 in Paris, France. Throughout 2013, international organizations, states, business and civil society entities participating in the global dialogue process facilitated by Internet & Jurisdiction confirmed their desire to collaboratively work together to address the tension between the cross-border nature of the Internet and national jurisdictions. Participants agreed that new transnational frameworks are needed to diffuse this tension, avoid fragmentation and enable the digital coexistence of different national laws and normative orders in shared cross-border online spaces.
Based on the commitment, methodology endorsements and high recognition that I&J received in 2013, the process will enter into a more operational phase in 2014 to explore the actual elaboration of transnational due process frameworks for cross-border online spaces. The four regional I&J meetings (in Rio, Paris, New Delhi and Washington DC), as well as workshops and consultations organized at various Internet Governance events in 2013 identified the following six potential building blocks for such procedural interfaces between states, platforms or operators, and users: Authentication, Transmission, Traceability, Determination, Safeguards and Execution. They will serve as a structure for discussions in 2014. This Milestone Meeting gathered, for the first time at the global level, stakeholders from different regions who have participated in the activities of the dialogue process since 2012 to advance the elaboration of a transnational due process framework for the Internet
