Also, in partnership with EFF, Privacy International, Human Rights Watch , etc we are launching a campaign for gathering more support for the principles on necessary and proportionate and I see it as also a way to go forward. Taking into account the experiences of the Swedish government to implement them.

>> 
>> AREA 1 - Recommendations on process issues for the conference (remote participation, stakeholder representation and selection)
>> 
>> AREA 2 - Substantive input into their work to develop universal Internet principles (likely to cover the areas sketched out by President Rousseff in her speech to the UNGA).

>> AREA 3 - Substantive input on an institutional framework for multistakeholder Internet governance including:
>> 
>> 1.       Internationalisation of ICANN (based on existing work done by Internet Governance Project and/or others).
>> 
>> 2.       Orphan issues (based on existing proposals put before the WGEC and the recommendations of the Correspondence Group).

>> We have produced a chart mapping those who have expressed an interest in each of the areas below. There could feasibly be a number of different civil society submissions on each of these areas.
>> 
>> Given the short timeframes, and the fact that there does not seem to be consensus among all of us on a number of these issues, I think the best way forward is for anyone who wants to lead on a particular submission to let the list know, gather together people who also want to work on that submission, develop something as a smaller group and then share it back with the platform. Obviously, ideally submissions would be able to gather broad agreement among BB participants, but consensus may be too high a bar at this stage.

>> A submission on reforming internet governance that keep the dispersed structure and multi-stakeholder participation (elements of which are likely to include ideas on internationalising ICANN and strengthening the IGF)
>> 
>> A submission on the first high level principle dealing with free expression, privacy etc.  Note that I’m concerned that privacy protections, if badly expressed, could restrict freedom of expression unduly so I’ll be looking to assert ICCPR standards on free expression.

As we will probably need to submit our views to Brazil and/or other organisers by March 1, 2014 I’d suggest we should aim to produce documents for endorsement/support by other groups on the BB platform by mid-February
