[Luca Belli]

Dear Adam, Please note that the the ISOC NGL Programme Alumni, together with IFLA, are organising the following workshop: 
Working TitleShould Net Neutrality be enshrined into legislation?  Concise description of broader thematic area of interestNet Neutrality (NN) is a core principle of the Internet architecture which is aggressively moving into the province of Internet policy.  The mere self-regulation put in place by market players seems indeed insufficient to strongly enforce NN, and many governments are analysing the opportunity of adopting NN legislation to safeguard the fundamental freedoms of their citizens.Concise description of specific issues or policy questions to be addressedThis workshop will scrutiniSe the various national and international initiatives aimed at promoting NN, trying to highlight the most suitable approach in order to consecrate the NN principle into normative tools. The workshop will explore such questions as a) what are the technical bases of NN? b) How can such technical principles be properly translated into legislation? c) Which fundamental rights may be affected by non-neutral networks? d) Which practices can be deemed as an example?Workshop format:Round tableDescription of other workshop format (if required)The workshop will be organised as a dynamic roundtable that will try to establish a continuous exchange amongst panelists and attendees


                               By all means, every interested list-member can feel free to contact me to comment our proposal and suggest improvements. Kind regards Luca  Luca Belli
