[governance] Themes for the coming IGFs

[shaila mistry]

Hi 
As an Internet Bill of Rights IBR advocate I support Rights based theme for the next IGF conference. In addition I also suggest we encourage greater involvement from private sector, particularly the small and medium business. Learning from the buisness model will assist us greatly . Perhaps we could make this a sub theme : lessons from the private sector model.

I am still in Chennai...will contribute more later

be as a well......sure and limitless....
but as time befits.....assume other forms ....

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 http://mailman.ipjustice.org/listinfo/bill-of-rights

best

[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.____________________________________________________________
