[governance] [Webinar] Evidence and measurement in IG: What sort of data and numbers are we talking about?

[Ginger Paque]

Our October IG webinar is taking place tomorrow, Tuesday at 12h GMT, and
will address an important issue: *Evidence and measurement in IG: What sort
of data and numbers are we talking about?*

*Although the Internet is an engineering artefact, we have very little data
relevant for IG. In cybersecurity, for example, we are still in doubt about
the number of threats and the size of the losses incurred. The same applies
in other IG fields. Without understanding the scope of the problem, it is
difficult to discuss possible solutions. What can be done to bring more
evidence in IG, using what concrete tools and techniques? How should an IG
observatory, which would gather and prepare such evidence, function?*

To join in, read the announcement below or at
http://www.diplomacy.edu/calendar/webinar-measurement-and-evidence-ig, and
follow the link to the registration page.

Hope to see many of you tomorrow!

*October IG webinar:*

*Evidence and measurement in IG:What sort of data and numbers are we
talking about?*

Dear friends,

We would like to invite you to our October IG webinar, on Tuesday 28th, at
12:00 GMT, on *Evidence and measurement in IG: What sort of data and
numbers are we talking about?*

Paradoxically, although the Internet is an engineering artefact, we have
very little data relevant for Internet Governance. In cybersecurity, for
example, we are still in doubt about the number of threats and the size of
the losses incurred. The same applies in other IG fields. Without
understanding the scope of the problem, it is difficult to discuss possible
solutions. What can be done to bring more evidence in IG, using what
concrete tools and techniques? How should an IG observatory, which would
gather and prepare such evidence, function?

The event will provide an overview of what is the evidence-based approach
to Internet governance and highlight lessons from the fields of
cybersecurity, e-commerce, and development. Speakers include:

   - *Dr Jovan Kurbalija*, Director of DiploFoundation, head of the Geneva
   Internet Platform
   - *Ms Lichia Yiu*, Director of the Centre for Socio-Economic
   Development, Geneva
   - *Mr Michael Kende*, Chief Economist of the Internet Society
   - *Dr Eduardo Gelbstein*, Former Director of the UN Computing Center
   (tbc)

*Join us for the online webinar on Tuesday, 28th October, at 12:00 (13:00
CET). To register, please fill in the registration form
