1 Version SHAW CENTRE, 55 Colonel By Dr, Ottawa To build trust, enhance policy coherence, and discuss concrete modalities for joint action, the second Global Conference of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network is organized without formal panels to encourage dynamic exchanges among participants. It is structured around Stakeholder Plenary sessions on Day 1 and 3, and three parallel Workstreams on Day 2. Based on the Areas of Cooperation identified by participants at the first Global Conference of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network in Paris in 2016, the Secretariat of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network formed in 2017 three multistakeholder Contact Groups for each Workstream to map and identify concrete Policy Options. These documents serve as input to structure discussions on Day 2. The second Global Conference of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network in Ottawa will be an opportunity for stakeholders to define a roadmap with clear targets and a working methodology to jointly develop policy standards and operational solutions that can be presented by participants at the third Global Internet and Jurisdiction Conference in Discussants and participants will have equal speaking times in Stakeholder Plenary sessions, with three-minute interventions to facilitate interactions. All Workstreams on Day 2 will be held under Chatham House Rule. A CONFERENCE OF

This is necessary to preserve the cross-border nature of the Internet and the benefits it generates. In this perspective, this plenary session will focus in particular on the need for policy coherence between multiple initiatives and discuss modalities for joint action in the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network. Discussants include: ANDREW WYCKOFF, Director, Directorate for Science, Technology and Innovation, OECD URI ROSENTHAL, Former Minister of Foreign Affairs, The Netherlands DAVID KAYE, Special Rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of the Right to Freedom of Opinion and Expression, United Nations GAIL KENT, Global Public Policy Manager, Facebook MARIA PAZ CANALES, Executive Director, Derechos Digitales BYRON HOLLAND, CEO and President, Canadian Internet Registry Association (CIRA) CHRIS WILSON, Senior Manager, Public Policy, Amazon JAN KLEIJSSEN, Director of Information Society and Action against Crime, Council of Europe DAVID MARTINON, Ambassador for Cyberdiplomacy and the Digital Economy, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, France 16:00 16:30 BREAK 16:30 18:00 STAKEHOLDER PLENARY Towards Policy Coherence and Joint Action (Part 2) 18:00 18:30 STAKEHOLDER PLENARY Methodology: Policy Options and Proceedings in three Workstreams To prepare participants for Day 2, the Secretariat of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network and the three s will present the outcomes of the intersessional work conducted in 2017, the methodology that will be followed in the Workstreams, and the expected results NETWORKING DINNER 2

3 DAY 2 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27 Like at the inaugural Conference in Paris, Day 2 is structured around three parallel Workstreams held under Chatham House Rule. In 2017, three Contact Groups (one for each of the Programs of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network listed below) respectively addressed concrete cross-border issues: access to user data, content restrictions and domain suspensions. The Policy Options Documents reflecting their intersessional work will serve as input to structure Workstream discussions (see Workbook). WORKSTREAM I DATA & JURISDICTION How can transnational data flows and the protection of privacy be reconciled with lawful access requirements to address crime? Criminal investigations increasingly require access to information about users and digital evidence stored by private companies in jurisdictions outside the requesting country. The traditional Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) system is under stress and competing alternative approaches are explored to solve this issue. What are the necessary safeguards and procedures to establish viable and scalable frameworks? How to ensure policy coherence and regime interoperability? PETER SWIRE, Professor, Scheller College of Business, Georgia Institute of Technology WORKSTREAM II CONTENT & JURISDICTION How can we manage globally-available content in light of the diversity of local laws and norms applicable on the internet? Content legal in one country can be illegal in another. Dealing with abuses such as hate speech, harassment, security threats, incitation to violence or discrimination online while protecting human rights is a major challenge when several jurisdictions are involved. How to improve current practices in terms of transparency and due process across borders to maximize the necessary remediation of harm and minimize restrictions to freedom of expression? WOLFGANG SCHULZ, Professor, Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) WORKSTREAM III DOMAINS & JURISDICTION How can the neutrality of the internet s technical layer be preserved when national laws are applied to the Domain Name System? Suspension of a domain names has a global impact: only a particularly high threshold of abuse could potentially justify it. There are, however, divergent views regarding when it is appropriate to act at the DNS level in relation to the content of an underlying site. What role can courts and so-called notifiers respectively play? What kind of framework could define their responsibilities? MAARTEN BOTTERMAN, Director, GNKS Consult 3

4 DAY 2 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27 The purpose of Day 2 is to allow stakeholders to establish, for each of the three Programs of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network, a Work Plan with a common objective and a set of concrete structuring questions. On this basis, the Secretariat will organize the work in the Policy Network until the 2019 Global Internet and Jurisdiction Conference. The three parallel Workstreams will follow an identical structure to discuss the draft Work Plans included in the workbook. 8:30 9:00 MORNING COFFEE 9:00 10:00 Current Approaches and Evolutions since Paris Introductory interventions and first exchange around major initiatives underway and recent developments. 10:00 11:00 Common Objectives 11:00 11:30 BREAK 11:30 12:30 Structuring Questions (First Round) 12:30 14:00 LUNCH 14:00 16:00 Structuring Questions (Refinement) BREAK 16:30 17:30 Structuring Questions (Finalization) 17:30 18:30 Work Plan Finalization and Next Steps NETWORKING DINNER 4
