Conference: Workshop on Policy-Relevant Internet Measurements

随着社会日益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好的政策决策所需的信息-通常是由于缺乏与政策相关的互联网衡量标准。迫切需要投资研究和部署电信和互联网政策的衡量标准，以弥合不同利益相关者之间的差距，例如立法者、监管机构、运营商和互联网衡量社区。*为了在缩小互联网衡量标准和政策之间的差距方面取得进一步进展，需要专注于建立一个跨学科社区，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。本研讨会继续努力建立这个社区，以解决这一差距。它将使政策、行业和研究社区聚集在一起，集思广益，讨论这些社区如何合作，以满足当前政策的互联网数据需求，并共同设计未来基于证据的政策。活动结束后的经验总结将被公布。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
