It may also be useful to explore if and how other kinds of rights may be meaningful in relation to the Internet

bracketed text above unneccessary IMO, plus it doesn't read well.

I would snip the whole bit below as both controversial and not needed
to mention specific rights:

[; for instance, a 'right to the Internet', which may relate to the
IGF's 'access' theme, and a right of cultural expression - including
the right to have an Internet in ones own language, which can inform
the important IGF thematic area of 'cultural diversity'."]
