Subject: [bestbits] OHCHR Side Event - The Future of Content Regulation and
 Freedom of Expression in the Digital Environment
Message-ID: <CAMD-4vW+ecB__1BPR5G9w0pUK1x4tVyDk7uADf7gLDDqfcvhOw@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

Global Partners Digital and the Permanent Missions to the United Nations of
Australia and Costa Rica would like to invite any interested bestbits
members to a side-event at the current Human Rights Council in Geneva
looking at the issue of content regulation and freedom of expression in the
digital age.

In this inclusive, multistakeholder roundtable, taking place from *10.00am
to 11.30am* on *Wednesday 14 March*, voices from business, civil society,
academia and government will examine some of the critical questions raised
by the regulation of online content. How do we define it - and what is its
scope? What impacts is it having on freedom of expression? And what is the
way forward?

Confirmed speakers include:

   - Andrew Puddephatt, Internet Watch Foundation
   - Richard Wingfield, Global Partners Digital
   - Deborah Brown, Association of Progressive Communications
   - Dr Lachlan Strahan, Australian Permanent Mission to the United Nations
   - Andrew Smith, Article 19

All the information on the event can be found on our website, here
<https://www.gp-digital.org/event/the-future-of-content-regulation-and-freedom-of-expression-in-the-digital-environment/>,
and I attach a short advertisement for the event itself as well. The
roundtable will be held at *Room XXIV, Palais des Nations, Geneva*.

We warmly welcome anyone interested in freedom of expression in the digital
age, and those engaged on issues of content regulation and intermediary
liability. Please do also share this invitation with any colleagues or
other networks who might be interested.

If you have any questions about the event at all, please do not hesitate to
get in touch.

Yours,

Richard

society participation in this process. It is no longer open to new
edits, sorry, and the deadline for signatures is 23 March.

You can find more information below and you can contact my colleague

Hi

Yes, usually Academia is placed within one of these other two groups -
Civil Society or Technical

Congrats as well to all those appointed or re-appointed and thanks for
the best wishes

I think it would be important to hear from members of CSCG on MAG
appointments to highlight convergences and note areas for improvement
of this communication process with IGF

Best,

Renata

Hello everyone,

As you know, the WSIS Forum is taking place this week in Geneva. The Geneva
Internet Platform is providing just-in-time reporting from most of the
sessions. We hope this is a way to enhance inclusiveness and to assist
those that had conflicts of agenda and could not attend a session of
interest. A final report will be produced at the end of the week with a
general overview of the event.

The reports from individual sessions that took place on day 1 can be found
below. This initiative is made possible with the support from ISOC and
ICANN.

All the best wishes,
Marilia

Hello all,

This year the IGF will be following a EuroDIG style approach of
initially calling for issues around which sessions can be organized,
before calling for workshop proposals. If a call for workshop proposals
is made first, organizers have to prepare their proposal without any
guidance about priority issues for the community.

It has been a successful approach at EuroDIG and I have supported trying
it for the global IGF too, as it will allow for better curation of the
final program and help to avoid the lack of focus and duplication that
has characterised previous IGFs.

Please find the Secretariat's message and link below.

Hi Jeremy, thanks for sharing. While we're on the topic of IGF, is there's
any news coming from last week's MAG meeting on when or where (or if?) the
IGF will be taking place this year?

Best,
Lea

Not yet, but we keep being told that a decision may be imminent. It
seems likely to end up being held at a United Nations office (but not
Geneva again).

 consultation
Message-ID: <CAK78muQX=_sT1fvbiYT5rqiSrEFdDTaNQ7+r5Xkr4i7oHu4p2g@mail.gmail.com>

Dear all,

In case of interest, I'm writing to share GPD's input into UNESCO's
consultation on the development of indicators to measure progress on
Internet Universality.

GPD contributed to the first phase of the consultation in October 2017
(read our input here
<https://www.gp-digital.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Internet-Universality-Indicators-Consultation-Response2.pdf>).
In the current second phase, which closes on 15 March 2018, UNESCO posed
three questions in reference to the first draft indicators document (available
here <https://en.unesco.org/sites/default/files/iu_indicators_phase_2.pdf>).

Read GPD’s full response to these questions here
<https://www.gp-digital.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/UNESCO-ROAM_1.pdf>:
https://www.gp-digital.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/UNESCO-ROAM_1.pdf.

If you have any questions, contact me at sheetal at gp-digital.org.
Best
Sheetal.

Message-ID: <CALCecM-jGdmAY3hRXzSaOMpLPQABNBVSQW7jWLMEUUT8_hmfMg@mail.gmail.com>

Apologies if this has been discussed and I have not seen it. If it has,
please consider this as my support for such statements, as I think it is
very important.

Are CS groups preparing statements at the opening of the OC to make it very
clear that the MAG needs to be reappointed much earlier — and that its new
membership should be effective on the last day of the IGF Annual meeting?

Thanks,
Ginger

I too would support such an action! I recall that’s what they wanted to do, with opening up the call for application early enough but something happened! We never heard about the new MAG members!
Chengetai announced two days ago (at the current ICANN meeting in Puerto Rico) that the list was to be out either on that day or the following one. But i am not sure it is out, or did i miss it?

Dear all (apologies for cross posting)

Please apply or nominate people! And ICANN is actively striving for
diversity.

My personal view is that achieving diversity is not difficult. There are
frequent assumptions in the internet world that there are not many women
with IG knowledge and skills and leadership capacity and experience.
There are similar assumptions about the pool of qualified candidates in
the  global South  being extremely small. There is also an assumption
that  diversity  is  just about gender, race, geographic location (what
about diversity of political experience, views, business, knowledge etc.?).

I personally do not agree with any of these assumptions! Do you?

https://www.icann.org/nomcom2018

Information about time commitments (how much time do these positions
need from people who fill them) - Dorothy Gordon asked about this - can
be found here:

For any of you are interested in self driving cars and software, privacy
and data we are holding a  one day workshop at Columbia Law School in
New York.


In this unique, one-day, by-invitation event held at Columbia Law School
in New York City, we explore technical, legal and social questions
concerning software governance in the near-term automotive future. How
can innovations in software engineering help us to improve reliability
and serviceability of embedded automotive software? How can user
innovation be maximized, allowing car owners to modify the operation of
their vehicles, while preserving safety and allowing manufacturers to
limit their liability? How can vehicles be upgraded in service without
also creating dangers of malware injection and privacy invasion?
Presenting real-world solutions under development that maximize openness
while increasing the reliability of governance, this conference aims to
offer cutting-edge thinking in the context of an automotive industry
undergoing revolutionary transformation
