Subject: Re: [bestbits] [governance] From Confusion to Clarification

I can confirm that when working on inputs for the NETmundial process I and a few others drew on the IRP charter along with others that preceded it, including the APC Charter and the Brazilian principles.

The NETmundial statement is a composite of previous work. Stronger in one respect in that it clearly says the internet should be governed in the public interest, and weaker in other respects. But it would not have been possible to produce something like that without the prior work that had been done by groups such as the IRP coalition.

I like Wolfgang's proposal and agree it should be in a wiki type format.

And thanks for reminding me of the Wireless for Development book Sylvia.. that was such a great project!

Dear all

Thanks Nick for this timely reminder; and to underscore a formative contribution to this set of documents once again, here is the link to the IRP Coalition Charter of Human Rights and Principles for the Internet, in all 5 languages. More translations on their way.

http://internetrightsandprinciples.org/site/

Enough people on this list can proudly say they contributed to this project, as recognized in subseqnet ones and it in turn developing those that came before. Updates on this work coming soon on thIRPC list, and elsewhere..

With respect to this example - and others with a long history that predates the Internet, but which apply fully online, I think you have to start with the source, which is not the NetMundial principles, but international human rights law and the documents that recognise how it applies online.

Totally support Wolf's suggestion.

The content in, for example, the Human Rights section should at least cover all the Principles set out in the NetMundial Statement. 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.

A positive and exciting project!

That is a great idea. Maybe worth checking some tools/methodology for
sprint-writing? When I supported the Wireless Networking for the
Development World book first editions, It was very useful to organize
the chapters and have sprints to write them and have a whole book ready
for a specific date. The book has been updated, revamped, translated all
using the same tool, inviting new authors, adding case studies, etc. On
the first edition they used Lulu to print on demand, not sure which
service they are using now.

Looking forward to read it, whatever shape/form it takes :)

   Hi,

   Might be one of those things that is more suited to a wiki or some
   other online work that can be updated as necessary.

   And if one does create one of those with the proper format, it can
   be gathered into an ebook or an printed object whenever wanted.

   I like the idea of a an online development that combines new
   writings with existing writings that is under constant update, and
   would be willing to contribute to that sort of ongoing dynamic
   effort if we aable to get one organized.

   The only concern I have on yet another good proposal from Wolf is
   that a book is static while the IG processes are in a complex,
   difficult dynamic. I wonder if the book could be a "photograph"
   of something which would be more or less regularly updated in a
   corresponding collaborative portal?

   fraternal regards

       I propose that we start to work on what I call a “Civil Society
       Internet Governance Handbook”.


   Sala: Let's do this!

       This handbook would allow all CS groups within the CSCG to
   present
       their own individual points of views so that everybody knows
   what
       the positions are. The book could be structured into four
   main chapters:

       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.)

       Each of the six groups under the CSCG (IGC, BB, JNC, NCSG,
   Diplo,
       APC) could nominate four authors (one for each chapter).
   Each author
       would be free to argue for her/his position (five to maximum
   teen
       pages). There is no need for consensus. Every author would
   be free
       to present her/his radical, moderate, liberal and whatsoever
       position on one of the four main issues.

       Such a compendium would help to bring more transparency into
   the
       process and would enable a more fact based discussion in the IG
       events ahead of us.

       We could deliver this as an e-book (probably with an Annex
   with main
       official texts as Tunis Agenda, Sao Paulo Principles, UN
   Resolutions
       etc.) until the May 2015 Sessions in Geneva. In total this book
       would be around 250 pages. If we find a sponsor we could
   publish
       this for the New York event in December 2015. Such a book
   would seen
       by the rest of the IG Community as a helpful contribution,
   it would
       strengthen the role of CS in the emerging IG multistakeholder
       mechanisms and would be also an input into the WSIS 10+
   process.

       The chair of the CSCG (together with the co-chairs from the six
       groups) would be the editor.

       Any comment?

       Wolfgang
