2020-09-11 03:30

The Internet Society has launched the first-ever regulatory assessment toolkit that defines the critical properties needed to protect and enhance the future of the Internet.

The Internet Impact Assessment Toolkit is a guide to help ensure regulation, technology trends and decisions don't harm the infrastructure of the Internet.

"The Internet's ability to support the world through a global pandemic is an example of the Internet Way of Networking at its finest," explains Joseph Lorenzo Hall, Senior VP for a Strong Internet, Internet Society.

The Internet Impact Assessment Toolkit will serve as an important resource to help policymakers and technologists ensure trends in regulatory and technical proposals don't harm the unique architecture of the Internet.

The toolkit explains why each property of the IWN is crucial to the Internet and the social and economic consequences that can arise when any of these properties are damaged.
