<div>I hope you are well and that your family is safe. I have family in Meguro and Okinawa and am trying to get in touch with them as well. Here in Fiji we are on "tsunami" alert and it is predicted that a tsunami could hit Fiji in about 6 hours time.</div>

<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Betreff: </span>[IRP] Ten punchy principles<br></div>
<div><br></div>Dear <span>IRP</span>,<br><br>Following on from Lisa's earlier email, I'm pleased to send out the draft ten Punchy Principles for the Internet that have been worked on by a small working group of people from the <span>IRP. The working group was originally formulated at the 2010 Vilnius IGF</span> and includes Lisa Horner and Dixie Hawtin (Global Partners, UK), Brett Solomon and Jochai Ben-Avie (Access, Australia/USA), Henrik Almström (APC, Sweden/South Africa), Karmen Turk (Lawyer, Estonia), Shaila Mistry (Jayco MMI Consulting, USA) and Carlos Affonso de Souza (FGV, Brazil). <br>
<br>The aim is for a version of these principles to be launched together with the online consultation platform for the Charter of Human Rights and Principles for the Internet. They therefore accord with the current version of the Charter. Their purpose is two-fold. Firstly, to help mobilize, shape and inform the community debate on the Charter (Carlos has made it clear how their <a href="http://www.cgi.br/english/regulations/resolution2009-003.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">10 Brazilian principles </a>proved very valuable for the Brazilian Civil Framework for the Internet). Secondly, many people have said that they need a punchier advocacy tool which can be used, in conjunction with the longer Charter, as a framework for policy assessment and campaigning. Note: they are NOT designed to be used as a legal document.<br>
<br>Clearly people will have very different views on these (as we have found in the smaller group) but I think they are a good starting point for a discussion. We have done some consultation in our own (Access) community on this draft, and there was some very good feedback which we are happy to share.<br>
<br>As I understand it, the draft punchy principles are now open for discussion here, so that Lisa and the crew can take the final draft forward and put them on the site along with the Charter. Draft principles below.<br>
