Call for Members: FOC Working Group “Digital Development and Openness”

*>> Deadline extended to COB February 18 <<*

At the end of 2014, FOC Working Group 2 (WG2) – “Digital Development and
Openness” – reframed its work to focus on digital development and the rule
of law. WG2 is now looking for members to join its efforts in contributing
to new and arising challenges for promoting the respect for human rights
online.

The WG will seek to, in a multistakeholder setting, explore ways to further
strengthen rule of law principles and good practices in a way that
addresses emerging challenges, respects human rights and maximizes the
impact of the Internet for social and economic development.

The Group will consist of up to 15 selected individuals who will join the
Working Group Co-chairs – the Swedish Government and the Folke Bernadotte
Academy – alongside other FOC country members.

To submit an expression of interest, please send a short motivation letter
outlining how your experience and expertise could contribute to shaping the
Group’s work and outcomes to info at freedomonlinecoalition.com with a subject
line “FOC – WG2 expression of interest_name surname”. The deadline for
submissions has been extended to COB on *18th February 2015.*

Expressions of interest will be evaluated by WG Co-chairs and the FOC
Support Unit, based on the following criteria:

Quality of submission
Relevance of experience and expertise
Regional, gender, and stakeholder balance

Please note that participation in the Working Group is voluntary. Feel free
to get in touch if you have any questions.

For more information about WG2 please visit the Working Group section of
the website.
