Workshop Room I – Aphrodite C

                    The Internet Bill of Rights

Stating rights and duties of individuals in the online digital environment

	
The WSIS/IGF process and many others prompted broad and strong 
discussions on what rights and duties should be enjoyed by individuals 
in the digital space. Themes like freedom of expression, privacy, 
consumer rights, access rights both to connectivity and to knowledge, 
intellectual property, cultural diversity,,and many others, underpin 
many of the digital governance issues. As many have drafted or discussed 
charters and statements of these rights and duties, there is the need to 
merge them and build consensus over one global statement: an Internet 
Bill of Rights.

The workshop will focus on two sides of the matter: on substance, which 
kind of rights should be reflected in such a Bill, and how could they be 
articulated; on process, how can all interested parties start working 
together to then get to a formal statement acknowledged by all 
stakeholder groups.

Its objectives will be, to let all those who share this concept finally 
meet; to work towards common understanding of the types of rights that 
should be part of this document; to identify the next steps, in the IGF 
environment, needed to start actual collective work on such a document.
