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.

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、可靠和公平地获得这一资源。然而，今天的决策者普遍缺乏所需的信息，需要作出良好的政策决定-往往是由于缺乏政策相关的互联网测量。迫切需要投资于研究和部署电信和互联网政策的衡量标准，以弥合各利益攸关方之间的差距，例如，立法者、监管者、运营商和互联网测量团体。为了进一步缩小互联网测量和政策之间的差距，需要专注于建立一个跨学科的团体，将每个领域的众多利益相关者纳入其中，而不是每个领域的一次性和单方面努力。本次研讨会继续努力，试图建立这个社区，以解决这一差距。它将使政策、工业和研究界聚集在一起，集思广益，讨论这些群体如何共同努力，满足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。该奖项反映了NSF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。
