Dear colleagues,
The new issue of Geneva Digital Watch monthly newsletter is ready, summarising
the busy month of November and looking ahead at December.
A few highlights:
This year’s Internet Governance Forum pushed the boundaries in terms of
tangible outcomes. Cognisant of the fact that it must evolve in order to remain
relevant, the IGF community embraced the outputs on intersessional work and
considered a number of documents as outputs. Yet, this can evolve further… And
in an update from our data-mining analysis of IGF 2015 transcripts, the results

The WSIS+10 review process will culminate with a high-level meeting of
the United Nations General Assembly this month. Building on the innovative
reporting from the 10th IGF, the Digital Watch reporting team is gearing up to
provide live updates from New York. In preparation, Diplo’s CreativeLab has
analysed the dominant themes related to the event, present in the online media
sources.
In the aftermath of the recent ruling of the Court of Justice of the EU
– which invalidated the long-standing Safe Harbor Framework – officials from
the EU and the USA are now negotiating a new framework for the westward
transfer of personal data.
A number of agreements on spectrum allocation were reached during the
International Telecommunication Union World Radiocommunication Conference,
incl. the allocation of radio-frequency spectrum for global flight tracking in
civil aviation and the assignment of frequency band to the operation of
short-range high-resolution automotive radar.
