The event will mark an important milestone in the NoC’s globally coordinated research effort aimed at examining existing and potential models of decentralized and collaborative governance with the goal of informing the evolution of - and current debate around - the Internet governance ecosystem in light of the NETmundial Roadmap and the work of various forums, panels, and committees. The public conference is being held to discuss both research in progress and, more broadly, the role of academia in the debate about the next generation Internet governance ecosystem. We will present findings from case studies, discuss the overarching themes, and identify directions for future research. The symposium will serve as the conclusion of the first phase of a global, collaborative Internet governance research effort within the NoC and is also intended as an initial contribution to the NETmundial Initiative -- a partnership between the World Economic Forum, ICANN, and key governmental, industry, academic, and civil society stakeholders. In addition, the event marks the two-year anniversary of NoC’s operation. At this point, in accordance with the foundational principles, the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) hands over the administrative leadership of the Network to the Nexa Center for Internet & Society. More information about the agenda and speakers of the public conference will be available at: http://nexa.polito.it/noc/evolution-internet-governance-ecosystem.* *For more information about the Global Network of Interdisciplinary Internet & Society Research Centers, please visit: http://networkofcenters.net/.* *

Sept. 1, 2014

Dear all (apologies for cross posting), I would like to invite you to attend the inaugural meeting of the Dynamic Coalition on Platform Responsibility that will take place from 14:30 to 16:00, on Thursday, September 4th. For those of you who are not able to attend in person, please note that remote participation will be available. The meeting will be introduced by to keynotes delivered by: • Mr Jan Kleijssen, Director, Information Society and Action against Crime, Directorate General of Human Rights and Rule of Law, Council of Europe • Ms Rebecca MacKinnon, Director of the Ranking Digital Rights project at New America Foundation Subsequently, we will engage in an open discussion to identify the key elements that will distinguish the work of the DC PR from existing initiatives on platform responsibility, and to jointly delineate a DC PR roadmap. Therefore, this meeting should be considered as a “Birds of a feather session” allowing all interested individuals to jointly plan the future works of the DC PR. The DC PR roadmap will be instrumental to plan the future activities of the DC PR members aimed at the elaboration of model contractual provisions, which will provide a reference for effective protection of specific human rights through online platforms’ terms of service. All the attendees will be encouraged to actively participate to the debate, providing their inputs to the definition of the DC PR roadmap. The discussion will be co-moderated by: Mr Luca Belli, Council of Europe & Université Paris 2 Mr Nicolo Zingales, Tilburg University & CTS/ FGV Rio Ms Primavera De Filippi CNRS & Berkman Center for Internet and Society (remote moderator) We hope to see as many of you as possible! Best wishes, Luca, Nicolo and Primavera _______________________________________________ DCPR mailing list DCPR(a)lists.platformresponsibility.info http://lists.platformresponsibility.info/listinfo/dcpr
