Digital policy and technological challenges in 2016 – What to expect?
<http://bit.ly/gipdw2016> 2015 has been a busy year in the digital policy
arena. At a global level, the review of the outcomes of the World Summit on
the Information Society, the adoption of the Agenda for Sustainable
Development and the intensive debates on the Internet Assigned Number
Authority (IANA) stewardship transition were some of the major topics. At
national level, access, cybersecurity and digital human rights were among
the most debated issues. We have also seen throughout the year
technological developments in areas such as the Internet of things, big
data and cloud computing. What will 2016 look like? What can we expect in
terms of digital policy and technological evolutions for this year? And
what will be the related challenges? SPEAKERS:* Sally Wentworth*, Vice
President of Global Policy Development, Internet Society; *Jovan Kurbalija*,
Director of DiploFoundation and Head of the Geneva Internet Platform; *Olaf
Kolkman*, Chief Internet Technology Officer, Internet Society.
