Work undertaken by Internet Jurisdiction Policy Network Forum to resolve the issue of

Jurisdiction

The Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network bringss together relevant interest groups and dif-
ferent political structures to achieve cross-border cooperation. It aims to fill the gap in the In-
ternet governance system between the digital economy, human rights and network security.
Through global and regional meetings the secretariat promotes neutral dialogues with the aim
of building trust among different actors and helping them to develop operational solutions for
the coexistence of different laws on the cross-border Internet.
The Internet and Jurisdiction Secretariat annually reports progress to the Internet Governance
Forum (IGF) hosted by the United Nations. At IGF 2016, the Internet Policy and Jurisdiction
Network received for the first time the "Open Forum", a format traditionally used by contract
organizations. In June 2016, the OECD Digital Economy Ministerial Conference in Cancun,
Mexico, the background report on the economic and social benefits of Internet opening men-
tioned the multi-stakeholder process of the Internet and judicial policies. Internet Policy For-
mulation Principles in the 2011 Recommendations of the OECD Council Support the devel-
opment of voluntary codes of conduct through the Internet and Jurisdiction and other multi-
stakeholder processes. "In April 2018, the G7 Network Organization expressed support for
the ongoing work of the Internet and Judicial Policy Network. The organization was selected
as the first special session of the Paris Peace Forum in 2018. The UN Secretary-General’s re-
port on "Progress in the Implementation and Follow-up of the World Summit on the Informa-
tion Society" covers the work of the Internet and the Jurisdiction Policy Network and its first

ternet Conference and Jurisdiction Policy Network is supported by six international organiza-
