Network Neutrality \u2014 Three Principles of the Open Internet<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Plenary 3: &quot;Principles of &#39;network neutrality&#39; and policies for an open Internet&quot; (30 April, 11:45)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The open internet was distilled into three principles: (1) no traffic discrimination based on sender or receiver, (2) unrestricted user choice and access to content, applications and services, (3) appropriate, reasonable and non-discriminatory traffic management [2]<\/li>\n<li>More certainty was demanded on what &#39;discrimination&#39; and &#39;reasonable&#39; traffic management actually entail [2]<\/li>\n<li>Key considerations flagged for the European Commission: no censorship, transparency, investment in open networks and infrastructure competition, fair competition across the value chain, and preserving innovation [2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Cybercrime in the Cloud \u2014 19th-Century Legal Tools Can&#39;t Keep Up<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Workshop 1: &quot;Cross-border cybercrime jurisdiction under cloud computing&quot; (29 April, 14:30)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Traditional cooperation mechanisms such as MLATs and letters rogatory, rooted in the nineteenth century, were called too slow and cumbersome for collecting digital evidence in the cloud [2]<\/li>\n<li>The Budapest Convention and Convention 108 were named the starting points, with calls for wider ratification and better-resourced 24\/7 contact points [2]<\/li>\n<li>A Council of Europe-led multistakeholder working group was proposed, and cloud governance was said to require clarified roles, easier international data transfers and global privacy standards [2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Remote Participation Breakthrough \u2014 11 Hubs Linked to Madrid<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Event-wide practice (a remote-participation moderator for every session)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>With 253 remote participants against 291 on site \u2014 47% of the total \u2014 nearly half the meeting was online, remarkable for 2010 [2][1]<\/li>\n<li>Eleven hubs in ten countries, including Baku, Yerevan, Sarajevo, Tbilisi, Chisinau, Bucharest, Belgrade and Kyiv, connected via live video, real-time captioning and tweets [2][1]<\/li>\n<li>The hubs were run as part of a capacity-building programme for Central and Southern European stakeholders, deliberately widening participation from Europe&#39;s periphery [2][1]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4. State Sovereignty and Multistakeholderism \u2014 Aware of Its Own Limits<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Workshop 6 on state sovereignty and Plenary 4 on multistakeholderism (30 April)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A candid assessment: multistakeholderism pits representative against participatory democracy, cannot by itself guarantee legitimacy, representativeness or universality, and is not immune to capture by special interests [2]<\/li>\n<li>Concepts from international law \u2014 equitable access to critical resources, state responsibility for acts within jurisdiction, due-diligence standards for private actors \u2014 were offered as building blocks for cross-border internet cooperation [2]<\/li>\n<li>Representatives of ten national IGF platforms held their first joint dialogue, confirming EuroDIG as the common European focal point for national debates [2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>5. Geographic gTLDs and IPv6 \u2014 The Nuts and Bolts of Critical Resources<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Workshop 2 on geographic names as new TLDs and Workshop 4 on the IPv6 transition<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The domain name space is a global common resource; the &#39;one size fits all&#39; contract regime was blamed for delays to the new gTLD programme, and ICANN was urged to create a public-interest team of qualified experts [2]<\/li>\n<li>With IPv4 exhaustion advancing, EU member states were encouraged to lead IPv6 deployment, and regulators were told to learn IPv6 themselves before regulating [2]<\/li>\n<li>Entering potential new markets for trading IPv4 addresses was explicitly not recommended [2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Three-Minute Short Talk \u2014 Your Questions Answered<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q. What was new about this meeting?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Nearly half the participants (47%) joined remotely, via 11 hubs in 10 countries from the Caucasus to the Balkans, linked by live video and real-time captioning \u2014 a hybrid-meeting experiment a decade ahead of its time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What mattered most in the substance?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The three-principle framing of net neutrality \u2014 no discrimination, user choice, reasonable traffic management \u2014 and the blunt finding that 19th-century mutual legal assistance cannot police cybercrime in the cloud era.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why should I care?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. That net-neutrality framework still underpins telecom-policy debates worldwide, and the cross-border evidence problem it flagged remains unsolved in every jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is EuroDIG?
