This GIJT conference is just one step in a multiyear *transnational multistakeholder process <https://www.internetjurisdiction.net/news/towards-solutions-the-methodology-of-the-internet-jurisdiction-policy-network-until-2019>.* Vint wrote a very concise advance framing of the issues for the Financial Times last week - *Rebuild internet governance before it is too late <https://www.ft.com/content/e1e6d1e0-156c-11e8-9c33-02f893d608c2> *(I bet some sub, not Vint, made up that headline!). Just yesterday the Washington Post announced that the Microsoft Ireland digital privacy case *will go to the supreme court* <https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/supreme-court-case-ce...> (let us note the case originated in the Southern District of New York!). And then, the *GDPR* <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation> looms. The webcast is just Monday afternoon and Wednesday morning. <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/netneutrality18/edit> [image: YouTube] <https://www.youtube.com/user/InternetJurisdiction/live>This week, *Monday-Wednesday February 26-28 2018*, the *Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network <https://www.internetjurisdiction.net/>* and the *Government of Canada <https://www.canada.ca/>* host the 2nd *Global Internet and Jurisdiction Conference <https://conference.internetjurisdiction.net/>* in Ottawa, Canada.
