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
