Hi all,
Since many people are not comfortable with editing in a wiki, I am happy
to setup a Confluence instance for this, which is a bit prettier and
easier to navigate for many people. And it also allows exports to epub
and PDF.
I think it's easier to depart from the chapters proposed by Wolgang, if
only because non-human rights people would find it easier to navigate.
1. Human Rights (Access, Freedom of Expression, Privacy etc.)
2. Security (Cyberwar, Cyberterrorism, Cybercrime etc.)
3. Economic Development (Market domination, competition, infrastructure development etc.)
4. Technical Coordination (Names, Numbers, Protocols etc.)
I agree that it would be great to add all Internet declarations (quite a
number of them have been compared by Carolina Rossini [0]) as an
annotated annex, or even a separate chapter.
Best,
Niels

Each of these Human Rights Principles can be explored in depth by the authors and analyses of other principles added if needed. Importantly, we don't want to overlook any of the existing principles.
