Interesting that we see the use of HR generally for that strange "science of Human Resources". What I do think would do the cause well is an acronym that will be catchy and help pitch the idea vis a vie the Human Rignts of the Internet. My first thought was the sound "rights" being applied to Human Rights of the Internet Theory = HRIT.<br>

IGC Statement on Themes for IGF 2010<br>
<br>
The Internet Governance Caucus supports the "Right to<br>
Internet Development" as a major theme for IGF-5 in Vilnius. This<br>
should lead to discourse at the IGF meetings moving towards the<br>
definition and clarification of Principles and Best Practices in<br>
relation to Internet policy development, and how they relate to<br>
pre-existing conditions in Internet Governance. It also includes a<br>
space for discussions about the responsibilities of all parties.<br>
<br>
This concept of "rights" continues to stress the importance of<br>
openness, transparency and bottom up Internet policy and standards<br>
development. This framework will continue to emphasize the significant<br>
theme of the need to maintain interoperability and openness to ensure<br>
the continued availability of the Internet ‘commons’, while adding the<br>
important issues of devices, content and applications of their choice.<br>
In keeping with current national and international debates regarding<br>
an "open Internet" and relevant aspects of the often confusing network<br>
neutrality discussions.<br>
<br>
Net neutrality can often mean different things to different people.<br>
The IGC feels that at a minimum, net neutrality discussions in the IGF<br>
should recognize the principle of nondiscrimination of Internet<br>
traffic based on the ownership, source, destination, port or protocol,<br>
keeping in mind that providers must actively manage their networks in<br>
the face of growing threats from SPAM, DDOS attacks and other forms of<br>
abuse. this principle must apply to both wireless and wireline<br>
broadband infrastructure.<br>
<br>
The inclusion of "principles" allows for wide discussion of the<br>
responsibilities that the different stakeholders have to each other.<br>
It allows for open examination of the principles that govern Internet<br>
policy making.<br>
<br>
Given that Internet development and innovation contributes<br>
significantly to economic and social development, the IGC strongly<br>
supports the rights of people everywhere to contribute to the<br>
continued eveolution of the Internet and its policy and standards<br>
making bodies.<br>
<br>
Within the mandate of the IGF and in support of strengthening this<br>
multistakeholder process, we ask that the IGF Secretariat continue<br>
and expand the use of Remote Participation as a tool for attendance at<br>
the IGF 2010 in Latvia as a proven method to include new voices. Best<br>
Practices in this area would be a sub-theme of the Right to Internet<br>
Development.<br>
<br>
