<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">CS people are now working on a response and
final call at the unconference and this will (probably) be released later today.
It will include disappointment at the non inclusion of references to necessary
and proportionate principles, NetMundial principles, and the lack of reference
to mass surveillance. Huge gaps, but we have also had some wins, eg inclusion of
privacy by design, and quotes like this</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">“The Conference emphasised that our commitment
to the protection of human rights must be unequivocal and that the protection of
human rights and security online are complementary concepts. We must remain
vigilant about those who use the Internet for incitement to (imminent) violence,
and for the recruitment for or financing of terrorism, and ensure that such
violations are countered within the framework of the rule of law without
allowing ourselves to be governed by a climate of fear. We must also take full
account of the need to protect the security and integrity of people, as well as
their personal information, networks and devices, in ways that are fully
compliant with international law, including human rights law.”</FONT></DIV>

from this event and there will be more later.</FONT></DIV>
