<p class=MsoNormal>Hi Linda<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The mapping of existing rights instruments/documents
relating to internet governance that you propose is something that the ‘internet
bill of rights’ dynamic coalition is also proposing. I agree it’s
an important first step. You can find out more about the coalition at the
website <a href="http://www.internet-bill-of-rights.org/en/"><span
style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'>http://www.internet-bill-of-rights.org/en/</span></a>,
which also has a link to the wiki and an option to join the mailing list.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Related, but as part of a different project, I’ve been
involved in an ongoing attempt to map out initiatives that aim to set
principles and standards for communications policy – see more at <a
href="http://www.freedomofexpression.org.uk/resources/mapping+existing+agreements+and+principles"><span
style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'>http://www.freedomofexpression.org.uk/resources/mapping+existing+agreements+and+principles</span></a>.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I also agree on your point about the importance of
considering both rights and responsibilities, and think that the human rights
framework can help to balance out many of the tensions we’re facing in
the internet arena, for example between security and openness. The next
step is to engage with human rights advocates and practitioners to ensure that
the human rights system is ‘updated’ and capable of addressing such
issues in the internet environment….lots of work to be done!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It’d be great to hear more about the outcomes of the
session at the CFP conference, on or off-list.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Many thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi<br>
<br>
This is an issue we're currently looking at under the banner of the Freedom of
Expression Project (looking at the comms environment as a whole, but obviously
internet governance is a huge part of that). The TACD rights charter is
great, covering the same kinds of issues as our project policy principles and
the APC rights charter. I agree that there's important work to be done in
reaching out to consumers groups around IG issues, and a strong presence at the
IGF would be beneficial.<br>
<br>
We're working closely with the Consumers Union in the US, and through them with
other groups who are members of TACD (Public Knowledge, EFF, Epic etc), and
with Consumers International. I've just come back from the US national
conference for media reform where lots of IG issues (net neutrality, filtering
etc) are on the agenda. These are often looked at through the lens of
consumer rights, which seems to have greater resonance than human rights in
many arenas. We're looking at ways of bridging the gap between consumer
rights and human rights in ways that can strengthen the two movements and the
influence they have on communications policy.<br>
<br>
It'd be great to hear from anyone doing work in this area, or from any
consumers groups on this list.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>

hi bill<br>
<br>
[...<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
There are a number of initiatives addressing rights
issues in relation to the Internet. Several organisations have developed
frameworks and charters (APC's Internet rights charter, the CRIS Framework, the
Freedom of Expression project's Principles document to name but a few) that map
existing rights in the context of the Internet and propose possible rights
based approaches.<br>
<br>
No TACD. Folks who are spearheading this proposal
might want to reach out to them...?<br>
<br>
<br>
yes - i can update anna fielder (the TACD rep on the OECD civil society coord
group) on the proposal - consumer rights groups in general are not very
involved in ICT policy work or IG work.. but we've started to address this in
outreaching to consumers union and consumers international around access to
broadband<br>
<br>
robert guerra kindly introduced me to canadian CU groups which i haven't
followed up on<br>
<br>
it would be good if all workshop proponents - and the caucus in general - look
at how we can bring the consumer rights groups into the IGF more generally..<br>
<br>
