Subject: Internet policies and e-commerce at the WTO-useful resources

Dear all,

Apologies for any duplication of this message.

Last week the WTO Public Forum took place in Geneva. Special attention was given to the digital economy and e-commerce discussions: a large number of sessions were dedicated to them. It is worth to pay attention to several digital policy topics which are being framed as trade issues and included on the agenda of the WTO, such as network neutrality, data localisation and encryption. An analysis of this trend is available on this blog post<http://www.diplomacy.edu/blog/e-commerce-wto-next-arena-internet-policy-discussions>.

Participation on the Forum was limited to a first come first served basis. The Geneva Internet Platform and DiploFoundation have conducted a just-in-time reporting from all sessions that presented a digital component. These resources provide a valuable overview of the current state of discussions. All reports are available here: http://digitalwatch.giplatform.org/events/wto-public-forum

A mapping of national initiatives to regulate e-commerce across the world<http://www.diplomacy.edu/blog/rise-e-commerce-initiatives-expanding-access-taxation> and in Europe<http://www.diplomacy.edu/blog/e-commerce-europe-consultations-court-rulings-and-other-updates-september> can also be found online.

This and other developments can be found in the 14th issue of the Geneva Digital Watch newsletter, published today: http://digitalwatch.giplatform.org/newsletter

All the best wishes,
Marilia
