Hello <br><br>I also want to thank Janette to start the discussion about next years themes. Naturally the focus of the Internet Rights and Principles [1] coalition is to promote a "Rights based approach to Internet Governance" as main theme.<br>
<br>We plan to have a mid-term meeting in Rome which we can use to coordinate and prepare events with a Rights and Principles focus.<br><br>If you are interested in pushing a "Rights based approach to Internet Governance" as main IGF theme 2009 please join our discussion on <a href="http://mailman.ipjustice.org/listinfo/bill-of-rights">http://mailman.ipjustice.org/listinfo/bill-of-rights</a><br>

The only remaining question, in any new context - like, here, IG - being how.<br>

As I<br>
said there, I am a bit sceptical if it's a good idea to put human rights<br>
up for discussion, but this probably depends on the framing. "Translating<br>
and implementing human rights for IG" would go in the right direction.<br>

<br>
Yes, one could also frame it a bit broader such as 'the role of rights in IG'. That would make certainly a good main session. I spoke against the 'rights based approach to IG' as an overall theme at the caucus meeting but I would support this topic for a main session.<br>
</blockquote>
I don't see what "the role of rights in IG" (or in anything else) could mean.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I meant to frame it in a way that integrates people who have concerns with a rights based approach. "Towards" suggests that all participants buy into this approach.<br>

<br>
Let's frame it differently, e.g. "Towards an IG framework<br>

compliant with human rights and democratic principles" or something with similar meaning. This, BTW, would allow to keep the issue of access on the table, although framed differently.____________________________________________________________<br>
