Conference: Workshop on Policy-Relevant Internet Measurements

随着社会越来越依赖互联网作为关键基础设施，政策制定者有许多机会确保安全、可靠和公平地访问这一资源。然而，今天的政策制定者普遍缺乏做出良好政策决策所需的信息，这往往是由于缺乏与政策相关的互联网衡量标准。目前迫切需要投资于电信和互联网政策测量的研究和部署，以弥合不同利益相关者（如立法者、监管者、运营商和互联网测量社区）之间的差距。为了进一步缩小互联网测量和政策之间的差距，需要集中精力建立一个跨学科的社区，将每个领域的无数利益相关者纳入其中，而不是每个领域一次性和单方面的努力。这次研讨会继续努力，试图建立这个社区，以解决这一差距。它将汇聚政策制定者、产业界和研究界，集思广益，讨论这些团体如何共同努力，解决当前政策对互联网数据的需求，并共同努力，共同设计未来的循证政策。会议结束后将发表总结经验教训的报告。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

As society increasingly relies on the Internet as critical infrastructure, there are numerous opportunities for policymakers to ensure safe, reliable, and equitable access to this resource. However, policymakers today generally lack the required information needed to make good policy decisions---often due to an absence of policy-relevant Internet measurements. There is an urgent need for investment in the study and deployment of measurements for telecommunications and Internet policy that bridge the gap between the various stakeholders, e.g., lawmakers, regulators, operators, and Internet measurement communities. To make further progress toward closing the gap between Internet measurements and policy, there is a need to focus on building an interdisciplinary community that incorporates myriad stakeholders in each domain, instead of one-off and unilateral efforts by each domain. This workshop continues the effort of trying to build this community to address this gap. It will bring together and engage the policy, industry and research community to brainstorm and discuss how these communities can work together to address the Internet data needs of current policies and to work together toward co-design of future evidence-based policies. A summary of lessons learned after the event will be published.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
