<p class="MsoNormal">A Pragmatic Approach to the Right to Be Forgotten<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By: Kieron O'hara, Nigel Shadbolt, Wendy Hall<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>This paper considers the shape that a “right to be forgotten” is taking in the online world, in the aftermath of the Google Spain decision, in which the Court of Justice of the European Union found (against Google) that European data
subjects had the right to request that search engines de-index webpages that feature in searches on their names. This work further discusses whether individuals might manage their personal data with flexible architectures that could act as points of contact
for those wishing to use the data. In such a technological ecosystem, many issues could be addressed within a system that respected the autonomy of the data subject in providing limited abilities to control self-presentation.

<p class="MsoNormal">Education 3.0 and Internet Governance: A New Global Alliance for Children and Young People’s Sustainable Digital Development<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By: Divina Frau-Meigs, Lee Hibbard<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>This paper examines education and its digital transition, mindful of the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. It discusses a variety of perspectives and trends, arguing that the future of education should be
part of the global debate on Internet governance. It posits that Internet governance offers a new form of legitimacy for children and young people to go beyond their current “protected” status. Ten recommendations are put forward, including the creation of
the position of UN Special Rapporteur on education 3.0 for children and young people’s sustainable digital development, which could help to coordinate and promote coherent and dynamic engagement of all stakeholders.<u></u><u></u></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Jurisdiction on the Internet<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By: Bertrand De La Chapelle, Paul Fehlinger<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>The cross-border Internet and its online spaces span a fragmented patchwork of national jurisdictions. As connectivity and Internet penetration increase, so do the conflicts between jurisdictions. Twenty-first century digital realities
challenge traditional modes of international legal cooperation, revealing an institutional gap in Internet governance that may be solved by drawing lessons from the technical governance of the Internet. In order to properly address jurisdictional tensions
such as cross-border access to user data, content takedowns, or domain seizures, this paper recommends the creation of issue-based multistakeholder policy networks to develop scalable solutions.<u></u><u></u></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Patents and Internet Standards<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By: Jorge L. Contreras<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>In recent years, high-profile lawsuits involving standards essential patents (SEPs) have made headlines in the United States, Europe and Asia, leading to a heated public debate regarding the role and impact of patents covering key interoperability
standards. Enforcement agencies around the world have investigated and prosecuted alleged violations of competition law and private licensing commitments in connection with SEPs. Yet, while the debate has focused broadly on standardization and patents in the
information and communications technology (ICT) sector, commentators have paid little attention to differences among technology layers within ICT. This paper helps establish recent discussions of patenting and standards within the broader context of openness
in network technologies and urges both industry participants and policy makers to look to the success of Internet standardization in a patent-light environment when considering the adoption of future rules and policies.<u></u><u></u></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Looking Back on the First Round of New gTLD Applications: Implications for Trademarks and Freedom of Expression<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By: Jacqueline Lipton<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is the body that, among other things, administers the domain name system with respect to generic top-level domains (gTLDs) –– that is, the string of characters to the right
of the “dot.”</i> <i>This paper brings forward some reflections on what has been learned from both traditional second-level domain name disputes and oppositions to new gTLD applications, with the expectation that these lessons can be carried forward into future
application processes for new gTLDs.<u></u><u></u></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Tracing the Economic Impact of Regulations on the Free Flow of Data and Data Localization<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By: Matthias Bauer, Martina F. Ferracane, Erik Van Der Marel<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>This paper explains how the economic costs of data localization and associated regulations on the free flow of data affect downstream economies in a group of emerging economies and the European Union. Emerging out of this analysis is
an overview of recent developments in policies regarding data localization and associated data regulations for the group of countries studied. In addition, an overview of regulations on the free flow of data is provided for a number of countries that are not
covered in the empirical part of this paper, but should be of concern in follow-up studies.<u></u><u></u></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">By: Harsha Vardhana Singh, Ahmed Abdel-Latif, L. Lee Tuthill<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Until recently, policy makers and businesses did not adequately focus on the significant overlap between Internet and trade governance, but with a large and increasing presence of the Internet in global trade and investment, there is
a growing interest in examining the synergy or conflict arising between these issues. This paper discusses these aspects as well as the new trade-related concerns that need to be addressed, including the difficulty of determining jurisdiction and rules of
origin, the classification of products and relevant disciplines applicable to them, complications arising for competition policy and regulatory practices.<u></u><u></u></i></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Market-driven Challenges to Open Internet Standards<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By: Patrik Fältström<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>The success of the Internet as a dynamic foundation for building an enormous variety of interactive services depends on interoperability, open standards and the ability to innovate freely and provide services without permission, all
of which arise from its edge-oriented architecture. This paper establishes some of the basic Internet principles that have enabled innovation and interoperability, such as globally unique identifiers and open technical standards. The paper makes recommendations
for reversing the trend toward fragmentation through the use of open-standard protocols, the development of application programming interfaces as if they were protocols, the use of open standards processes and the use of public procurement to encourage openness.<u></u><u></u></i></p>
