[Chapter-delegates] Coming Soon: Draft policy framework for intermediary protections and responsibilities

[Sarah Lake]

Dear Chapter Leaders
In September, we'll share a draft policy framework on Internet intermediary protections and responsibilities for your feedback as part of the Internet Society’s Policy Development Process (PDP)<https://www.internetsociety.org/about-internet-society/policy-development-process/>. This draft paper is an output of our 2024 action plan project, focusing on Guiding Constructive Internet Policy<https://www.internetsociety.org/action-plan/guiding-constructive-internet-policy/>. We aim to explore policy principles and gather insights on intermediary protections or liability from different countries and regions.
>From providing Internet access to messaging and sharing user-generated videos, intermediaries are essential for enabling the Internet’s social and economic benefits.
The goal of the policy framework is to emphasize the importance of understanding Internet intermediary functions to develop policies that keep the Internet open, secure, and trustworthy. This is in response to increasing moves to limit or condition intermediary liability protections, which could negatively affect the Internet ecosystem.
We'll release our recommended policy principles (together with a longer paper with technical and historical context and discussion) on 16 September 2024. We will welcome your feedback until 11 October 2024, catering to those with tight schedules by offering two documents for differing levels of engagement. Please mark your calendar and be on the lookout for more information and instructions.
For any immediate questions or concerns, please reach out to our team at PDP at isoc.org.
We look forward to your involvement.
Best regards,
Sarah
