Internet Impact Briefs

Good Internet policy starts with an impact assessment.

Internet Impact Briefs are shorter reports produced by the Internet Society, members of our community and other partners that analyze how different policies or new technologies may affect what the Internet needs to exist and thrive.

Are you interested in producing your own Internet Impact Brief? Visit our Internet Impact Assessment Toolkit (IIAT)  to learn more.

Please note that submitting information and materials to Internet Society or using Internet Impact Assessment Toolkit does not create a fiduciary relationship between you and does not constitute an engagement of the Internet Society to perform any lobbying on your or anyone else’s behalf.
