The Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network, also known as "I&J Policy Network", "Internet & Jurisdiction, or simply "I&J", is the global multistakeholder policy network addressing the tension between the cross-border Internet and national jurisdictions. It facilitates a global policy process to enable transnational cooperation and preserve the global character of the Internet. Since 2012, Internet & Jurisdiction has engaged more than 200 key entities from different stakeholder groups around the world, including governments, Internet companies, the technical community, civil society, academia and international organizations.
The Secretariat of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network is based in Paris, France. It was founded in 2012 by the Executive Director Bertrand de La Chapelle and Deputy Director Paul Fehlinger.
The Internet & Jurisdiction policy network bridges relevant stakeholder groups and policy silos in order to enable transnational cooperation. Internet & Jurisdiction strives to fill the institutional gap in Internet governance at the intersection of four policy silos: legal cooperation, digital economy, human rights, and cybersecurity. Through global, regional, and thematic meetings, Internet & Jurisdiction facilitates a neutral dialogue process with the mission of building trust among the different actors and help them develop the operational solutions necessary for the coexistence of diverse laws on the cross-border Internet.
The Internet & Jurisdiction Secretariat reports every year on progress at the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) organized by the United Nations. At the IGF 2016, Internet & Jurisdiction was granted for the first time an "Open Forum", a format traditionally reserved to treaty-based organizations. In June 2016 at the OECD Ministerial Meeting on the Digital Economy in Cancún, Mexico, the Background Report Economic and Social Benefits of Internet Openness, cited the Internet & Jurisdiction multistakeholder process as being exemplary: "The [Principles for Internet Policy Making of the 2011 OECD Council Recommendation] endorse the development of voluntary codes of conduct through multi-stakeholder processes, such as the Internet & Jurisdiction [Policy Network]."
