WASHINGTON – Today, global tech trade association 91¿ì»îÁÖ issued the following statement from its Senior Vice President of Policy and General Counsel John Miller reacting to the release of the U.S. International Cyberspace and Digital Policy Strategy:
“Maintaining a secure, open, interoperable, resilient, and trusted internet is foundational to enabling global economic growth and continued innovation. We commend the Biden Administration for developing a proactive plan that recognizes that realizing this vision is dependent on the U.S. building ‘digital solidarity’ with international partners, the private sector, and civil society to meet our shared cyber and digital challenges. While we continue to review the strategy, we appreciate the administration’s comprehensive focus, including on the critical role of building secure information and communications technology networks, fostering internationally coordinated approaches to governance of emerging technology, promoting trusted cross-border data flows, and reiterating that data and cyber security and resilience are crucial prerequisites for success. Further, we appreciate the administration’s grounding of the strategy in international commitments and international law, and its focus on delivering the benefits of technology. We look forward to learning more from the administration and working with international governments, industry, and civil society partners to advance this effort.”
