Thank you to all those who have extended their support at such short
notice. I have been tremendously happy to see how many people
have gotten back on this within only slightly more than 24 hours -
it's encouraging to see what potential this list continues to have,
despite recent events :)</blockquote>

<u><b>Re: IGF Draft Programme Paper, August 2009</b></u><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
We, the undersigned would like to express our surprise and
disappointment that Internet Rights and Principles was not retained as
an item on the agenda of the 2009 IGF in any way. Although this topic
was suggested as a theme for this year's IGF or for a main session by
a range of actors during and in the run-up to May's Open
Consultations, this widespread support is not reflected in the Draft
Programme Paper, which does not include Internet Rights and Principles
even as a sub-topic of any of the main sessions. The WSIS Declaration
of Principles, 2003, and the Tunis Agenda, 2005, explicitly reaffirmed
the centrality of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to an
inclusive information society. To make these commitments meaningful,
it is of great importance that a beginning is made to explicitly
building understanding and consensus around the meaning of Internet
Rights and Principles at the earliest. We recommend that the Agenda of
the 2009 IGF provide the space to do so.<br>
