> The aim of this workshop is to explore challenges and opportunities for embedding international human rights standards in the underlying norms and shared principles of internet governance.  The focus will be on strategies for mainstreaming rights standards in all internet governance policies, processes and activities.  According to this approach, rights should not be seen as a stand-alone issue within internet governance, but rather as integral to all discussions and policy processes.

> The workshop will take the form of an inclusive discussion amongst all participants.  Rather than having formal panellists in the traditional format, we are inviting a number of stakeholders to make short, concise contributions and comments as part of an interactive debate. Discussants include representatives from the dynamic coalitions, including the coalitions on:
>
> â¢     Accessibility and Disability (Gabriela Barrios)
> â¢     Access to Knowledge (Lea Shaver)
> â¢     Framework of Principles for the Internet (Gurumurthy Kasinathan)
> â¢     Internet Bill of Rights (Shaila Mistry)
> â¢     Linguistic Diversity (Viola Krebs)
> â¢     Privacy (Ralf Bendrath)
>
> The discussion will also include contributions from a range of other experts in the wider internet governance community including Peter Hellmonds (Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, Nokia Siemens Networks), Miriam Sapiro (President, Summit Strategies International), Shahzad Ahmad (Bytes For All), Jan Malinowski (Head of Media and Information Society Division, Council of Europe) and Chat Garcia Ramilo (Coordinator, APC Womenâs Programme).
