Measuring Cross-Border Data Flows: Unmet Data Needs Roundtable

As part of the Digital Economy Agenda, the Department of Commerce is working to identify data gaps in measuring the importance of cross-border data flows and the economic impact of restrictions to the free-flow of data. Through this Notice, we announce a roundtable to facilitate a discussion with stakeholders and experts as a first step in improving the Department's understanding of those data gaps and related economic questions. The roundtable will be held on May 9, 2016, from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm, Eastern Daylight Time, and will be held at the Bureau of Labor Statistics Conference Center, 2 Massachusetts Avenue NE., Washington (DC). Attendees are asked to provide prior notice of their intention to attend by sending an e-mail to Giulia McHenry at or gmchenry@ntia.doc.gov, or Jessica Nicholson at jnicholson@doc.gov no later than Thursday, May 5, 2016 at 12 pm, Eastern Daylight Time.
