[governance] Themes for the coming IGFs

[Lee W McKnight]

I like 'Open and Universal Internet Access'as theme. 

Yeah I know you're all tired of word access but maybe I mean something different. 

Theme can be interpreted as about Internet rights, development, markets, policy and/or technology.

In addition to the rights theme, or perhaps in association with it, I would
like to see a new theme of Public Policy and the Internet.

 

Internet Governance bodies do not all handle public policy consistently or
in some cases at all. I think there is a lot we can gain by examining this
in more detail.

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
max




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

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've thought that, for 60 years and one day
now, there is no question on whether one buys or not into a right approach.
The only remaining question, in any new context - like, here, IG - being
how.

 As I
said there, I am a bit sceptical if it's a good idea to put human rights
up for discussion, but this probably depends on the framing. "Translating
and implementing human rights for IG" would go in the right direction.


Yes, one could also frame it a bit broader such as 'the role of rights in
IG'. That would make certainly a good main session. I spoke against the
'rights based approach to IG' as an overall theme at the caucus meeting but
I would support this topic for a main session.

I don't see what "the role of rights in IG" (or in anything else) could
mean.


I meant to frame it in a way that integrates people who have concerns with a
rights based approach. "Towards" suggests that all participants buy into
this approach.

Let's frame it differently, e.g. "Towards an IG framework

compliant with human rights and democratic principles" or something with
similar meaning. This, BTW, would allow to keep the issue of access on the
table, although framed
differently.____________________________________________________________
