[Briefing] Internet governance in September 2016

It’s the final mile for the IANA transition process, as the historical ties between ICANN and the US government on the performance of the IANA functions are set to expire on 30 September. Net neutrality also attracted its fair share of attention following the release of BEREC’s guidelines. E-commerce and trade are under focus during the upcoming World Trade Organization Public Forum. How will these updates affect future developments, and what are digital policy updates took place in September? Join us for our next monthly briefing, on Tuesday, 27th September, for a round-up of the major global IG and digital policies developments.
