Hello all, (and many thanks Sala for providing these threads and co-ordinating this all)<div><br></div><div>A few quick views:</div><div><br></div><div>ACCESS TO KNOWLEDGE; INTERNET AS TOOL OF PUBLIC CONSULTATION</div><div>
I'm particularly interested in the 'Access to Knowledge' and 'Internet as a tool of public consultations' themes, although for the later, I would suggest framing it as 'Internet as a tool of public /participation/' rather than /consultation/ would be better - to capture the diverse range of ways in which the Internet is a tool for connecting governments, governance and citizens. </div>
<div><br></div><div>ONLINE CHILD PROTECTION:</div><div>On the suggestion for (11) on 'Online child protection', I would really like to see this framed as 'Children's Rights: Protection, Provision and Participation', rather than solely 'child protection', particularly as this is falling under a 'human rights' heading. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I've written a bit on the justification for this at <a href="http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/23226/">http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/23226/</a> - but essentially, when we adopt narrow narratives of 'online child protection' we end up (a) neglecting children and young people's broader set of rights to be active participants on the web, and to safe and supportive online provision; and (b) we adopt counter-productive strategies which don't even serve the intended goals of keeping young people safe from harm online. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Personally I'd love to see some good engagement in a theme like this between IGF and the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (<a href="http://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/crc/">http://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/crc/</a>), but I've not succeeded in the past at working out how best to make that happen: all thoughts welcome. </div>
<div><br></div><div>All the best</div><div><br></div><div>Tim</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 20, 2012 at 8:41 PM, Salanieta T.

<br>
The theme for IGF 2012 is Internet Governance for Sustainable Human, Economic
and Social Development. The MAG has various groups dealing with the following:-</span></p>
<ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">consolidate the list of topics under the theme</span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal">
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">come up with a coherent description of the theme </span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">come up with a main question and sub questions for
the theme (following the way it was organised in 2011)</span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">We would encourage anyone interested
in putting forward views on </span><b><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">[HUMAN
RIGHTS:] SECURITY, OPENNESS AND PRIVACY [AND THEIR IMPACT ON HUMAN RIGHTS] </span></b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">by responding to this thread. We would like to ensure that
this opportunity for consultation is actively addressed by the list. We will
try to wrap this up by the 24th February, 2012 and people can volunteer to work
on consolidating the same by the 24th February, 2012 so it can be put to the
entire list for a 48 hour period before we ask our current MAG representatives
to take this forward.<br>
