A high-level Advisory Group has been formed to provide strategic advice to the I&J Secretariat ahead of the 3rd Global Conference of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network.
A group of 28 distinguished key actors of the internet governance ecosystem will advise the Secretariat in the context of the 3rd Global Conference of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network (June 3-5, 2019 in Berlin). Reflecting the multistakeholder nature of the Policy Network, Members are representatives of states, Internet companies, technical operators, civil society, academia and international organizations.
They advise the Secretariat on the conference agenda, the identification of relevant participants, and the structuring of the preparatory process. The unique track record and expertise of the Advisory Group Members will help ensuring that the proposals for concrete solutions and policy standards can be translated into policy coherence and joint action at the 3rd Global Conference of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network.
Complete biographies the Advisory Group members, as well as more information about the 3rd Global Conference of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network, can be found on the website of the 3rd Global Conference of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network.
