<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear all, <br><br>Thanks a lot for all the efforts to reach a balance on all this.<br><br>+1 about the points on the terminology raised by Anja, Anriette, Avri and Jeremy<br></div><br>+1 for Kevin suggestions on whistleblower <br>
<br>+1 for the additions made by Cynthia on the requests to be made to US Congress<br><br>+1 about thinking in a more specific way to identify our organizations (Will something like this be enough? "civil society organizations focused on the implications of internet policies in the exercise of fundamental human rights" ... dont know if "internet policies" is enough though)<br>
<div><div><div><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra">Thanks Joy for the clarifications on NZ whistleblower.. looking forward from APC news on what to do in a broader sense regarding this complicated issue. <br><br>

But I do think there are certain non-negotiables if a wide sign up to this statement is desired. For example, at last year's Best Bits meeting, we already had a discussion on how few of us in the Global South use the term "Internet freedom" to describe the work we do for a whole range of highly political reasons and so I would think not using that term is one such non-negotiable. As long as we take such issues into account, I am sure a sound compromise can be reached that will make for a strong statement acceptable to all. <br>
</blockquote><br>i think the term has become somewhat tainted by its use as a US-referent political meme. <br>so finding another way to describe Freedoms of/on/via/by the Internet might be a good idea. <br></blockquote>
</div><div><br></div></div></div>+1. I have been saying the same thing for a while (<a href="https://twitter.com/qirtaiba/status/303409261923405824" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/qirtaiba/status/303409261923405824</a>), but the PRISM scandal has cemented this. The Best Bits website says "Internet governance and Internet rights". Neither of those are perfect either. The disadvantage of "Internet governance" is that a lot of people think it means naming and numbering. The disadvantage of "Internet rights" is that (with a nod to APC) Internet rights are human rights.<div>
