[governance] Themes for the coming IGFs

[Max Senges]

Hello

I also want to thank Janette to start the discussion about next years
themes. Naturally the focus of the Internet Rights and Principles [1]
coalition is to promote a "Rights based approach to Internet Governance" as
main theme.

We plan to have a mid-term meeting in Rome which we can use to coordinate
and prepare events with a Rights and Principles focus.

If you are interested in pushing a "Rights based approach to Internet
Governance" as main IGF theme 2009  please join our discussion on

best

[1] we have the name change from Internet Bill of Rights on our agenda for
next weeks monthly meeting.

"The world of the senses is just the base camp:
we are meant to be as much at home in consciousness as in the world of
physical reality.
[...] We are not cabin-dwellers, born to a life cramped and confined;
we are meant to explore, to seek, to push the limits of our potential as
human beings"
                                               (Easwaran, Bhagavad Gita, p.
10)
