[David Morar]

*Join Governing Conversations <http://bit.ly/GovConv> next week on Thursday
September 8th at 10 AM ET for our final event: Interoperability! Register
here! <https://yale.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Gzk_HJUtTEKD0en2wJLmLQ>*



A solution for a whole range of digital governance concerns, from access to
platform regulation, that seems to be increasingly discussed is that of
interoperability. A technical solution that requires a proper policy
implementation, the concept of interoperability has the potential to both
free users from constraints that are not useful to them, and to better
protect them from cyber attacks, when applied to tools, models and
standards in cybersecurity. Our panelists will discuss policy proposals,
technical perspectives as well as more general theoretical ideas about what
interoperability can and can’t do, and its inherent limitations.
