I'm interested in seeing the Google docs format used this way. I
found it easy to read through and we will all be able to see edits.
A suggestion that is philosophic not stylistic is whether to
capitalize 'internet'. I think we should not. The internet
technology seems to me no longer a brand but rather absorbed into
ordinary civil life and doesn't need the differentiation.
More stylistic, I wonder about substituting 'foundational' for
'constitutional'. The former seems to me more flexible and inclusive,
the latter stricter and more formal. For rights, I am thinking about
overarching or underpinning rights, which then become implemented in
constitutions and laws and standards and ... Cornerstone rights would
also work for me.
Please note that I am reading/writing with an American English
mind/brain, and how I react to terms may not be how others understand
the words.
I too prefer shorter interventions.
Sylvia
