At a global level, the review of the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society, the adoption of the Agenda for Sustainable Development and the intensive debates on the Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) stewardship transition were some of the major topics. At national level, access, cybersecurity and digital human rights were among the most debated issues. We have also seen throughout the year technological developments in areas such as the Internet of things, big data and cloud computing. What will 2016 look like? What can we expect in terms of digital policy and technological evolutions for this year? And what will be the related challenges?
