Since then, LT has helped thousands design, use, and research technologies that foster the public good. Recently, the decision was made to spin off LT as an independent entity. I'm one of the people tasked with doing so. Here are LT's major needs: - Recruit people to develop a new website, logo, and graphics. - Identify a legal jurisdiction with strong security and privacy laws and regulations and a server provider with a stellar reputation at protecting user security and privacy to host the site. - Determine whether to maintain LT's mailing lists on Mailman or to transition them to a content management system (e.g., Discourse.org). - Assess the best legal structure for LT (e.g., digital cooperative). Any ideas? Thanks for your help and advice. Best, Yosem P.S. I'm sending this email on behalf LT's co-founders and not Stanford University. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I will be the Director of the Smart Citizen Foundation , trying to renovate and innovate strategies to build more and better democracies in the region and beyond. I hope my new role will assist the "citizen participation", anti-corruption and civic tech space to have a more critical view on technology, inclusion and democracy. Many of our topics will go to the core of my new role. For instance, I do not like the new generation of strategies to connect the poor to an inferior network, or the rush of industrialised countries to connect the marginal, to capture their data before they even gain enough literacy to be able to use the Internet in a constructive way. It is brutal. Sometimes I feel the ethics in this space are akin to the ethics of pharmaceutical companies performing drug trials on uninformed people who have no recourse if things go wrong. As the next billion connects, part of my mission is that they connect to a Web where their voices count. Of course we need invigorated networks and a robust but decentralised set of tools to communicate in our digital society. There is still a lot of innovation to come, but the policies in place are only benefiting, to a great extent, elites and emerging middle classes. I hope to shift it back to the many. And place digital inequalities at the core of the discussions. I want to thank you for all the lessons I learned from you, you opened my eyes to new regions during the Web We Want campaign, we fought for the most innovative rights frame four years ago with the fight for Marco Civil, we achieved a lot as a community and now there are strong, female, south leaderships everywhere. Not at the top, but getting there. I will continue writing my Digital Colonialism book and I will share it with the community once it is out. My personal email address is renata at digitalcolonialism.org My new institutional address (for collaborations, partnerships, shake the world with EU - LatAm, or Africa- Latam or Asia-Latam alliances) is ravila at ciudadanointeligente.org I will be based in Santiago, with frequent visits to Rio, our second office. And operating in Latin America and beyond. All my love and gratitude.

The Policy Officer will primarily focus on the nexus between privacy and security through the exploration of the intersection of technology and rights. Working with the Advocacy & Policy team and relevant members of programme teams, the Officer will develop PI's policy strategies, build relationships with key national and international decision makers and influencers, monitor relevant policy and debates while identifying opportunities to shape policies, and support the advocacy work of PI's strategic programmes and the work undertaken by the Privacy International Network. In particular, this role will focus on providing support and capacity development to multi-year and multi-partner projects falling under PI’s Global programme which consists of engaging with Civil Society Organisations and experts across the world through an innovative approach that sustains an international privacy movement while supporting complementary socio-economic and civic struggles at the national level. 2) Legal Officer – Maternity Leave Cover (1 year), deadline for application is Sunday, 24 June 2018 The role of the Legal Officer is to devise, implement and manage legal advocacy and litigation designed to achieve PI's policy and advocacy objectives. As a member of the Legal Team, the Legal Officer will help execute PI's strategy across its three programmatic areas of Data Exploitation, Privacy in the Global South and State Surveillance. This will include bringing cases against governments and companies, intervening in actions in domestic and regional courts, and advocating before regulatory bodies. The Legal Officer will be expected to understand and work within a variety of local, national and international jurisdictions, including those governed by civil law or common law. The Legal Officer will also contribute to PI's policy development and advocacy initiatives, from policy advocacy in national venues to international advocacy in civil liberties and human rights fora. To that end, the Legal Officer will work with the advocacy, policy and communications teams to formulate creative ways to use legal avenues and arguments to achieve policy and advocacy goals. The Legal Officer will also liaise with PI’s international partners. Only applicants with the right to work in the UK will be considered. More details about these opportunities are available on our website - https://www.privacyinternational.org/type-resource/opportunities Apologies for cross posting and thank you for the help in sharing these opportunities with your own networks.

The letter makes some good points, but we are extremely disappointed to note that in terms of a socio-economic rights agenda, it stops at the market-ideological element of "increased competition". It does not go beyond to seek social and economic justice for all. And if sees 'people' just as consumers and no more.... Can we put in a point asserting the need for social and economic justice in the digital age?

Veri is a lawyer, and holds a Master’s degree in Economic Law from the University of São Paulo Law School, where she is also a PhD candidate in Human Rights. Veri has been working on telecommunications, media, Internet and human rights since 2009. From 2010-2013, Veri was a civil society representative of the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br) (a multi-stakeholder organization with members from the government, the corporate sector, civil society, and the academic community), and has worked on digital rights issues at IDEC and Intervozes--two Brazilian civil society organizations. Through the years, no matter victory or defeat, a good samba was always there to help her out. She totally recommends it. Veri will work with Katitza Rodriguez, the EFF International Rights Director, and EFF’s team of lawyers, technologists and activists, to assist in our policy analysis and advocacy work on freedom of expression and privacy issues in the digital age in Latin America and the Caribbean. Katitza and Veri will be working with the team to develop a strategic plan for Latin America, which we hope to complete in the next few months.

More details about these opportunities are available on our website - https://www.privacyinternational.org/type-resource/opportunities Hi, I'm sorry to raise this, but I have noticed statements like this quite a few times on opportunities posted to this list from various organisations. It is unlawful in the UK to refuse to consider job applications from individuals requiring work authorisation for the UK. See: Osborne Clarke Services v Mr A Purohit - Employment Appeal Tribunal (February 2009), and section 16.67 of the Statutory Code of Practice accompanying the Equality Act 2010: “Eligibility to work in the UK should be verified in the final stages of the selection process rather than at the application stage, to make sure the appointment is based on merit alone, and is not influenced by other factors … Employers can, in some circumstances, apply for work permits and should not exclude potentially suitable candidates from the selection process.” I hope this language will be removed - and applications will not be unlawfully filtered, though it certainly sounds to me like they will be. Thanks.

The Policy Officer will primarily focus on the nexus between privacy and security through the exploration of the intersection of technology and rights. Working with the Advocacy & Policy team and relevant members of programme teams, the Officer will develop PI's policy strategies, build relationships with key national and international decision makers and influencers, monitor relevant policy and debates while identifying opportunities to shape policies, and support the advocacy work of PI's strategic programmes and the work undertaken by the Privacy International Network. > > In particular, this role will focus on providing support and capacity development to multi-year and multi-partner projects falling under PI’s Global programme which consists of engaging with Civil Society Organisations and experts across the world through an innovative approach that sustains an international privacy movement while supporting complementary socio-economic and civic struggles at the national level. > > 2) Legal Officer – Maternity Leave Cover (1 year), deadline for application is Sunday, 24 June 2018 > The role of the Legal Officer is to devise, implement and manage legal advocacy and litigation designed to achieve PI's policy and advocacy objectives. As a member of the Legal Team, the Legal Officer will help execute PI's strategy across its three programmatic areas of Data Exploitation, Privacy in the Global South and State Surveillance. This will include bringing cases against governments and companies, intervening in actions in domestic and regional courts, and advocating before regulatory bodies. The Legal Officer will be expected to understand and work within a variety of local, national and international jurisdictions, including those governed by civil law or common law. > > The Legal Officer will also contribute to PI's policy development and advocacy initiatives, from policy advocacy in national venues to international advocacy in civil liberties and human rights fora. To that end, the Legal Officer will work with the advocacy, policy and communications teams to formulate creative ways to use legal avenues and arguments to achieve policy and advocacy goals. The Legal Officer will also liaise with PI’s international partners. > Only applicants with the right to work in the UK will be considered.
