[governance] Last minute addition?? Consensus call on rights theme - IGF Review

[Ian Peter]

Folks, sorry to have to do this, but it has been pointed out to me that in
the final text I left out an important paragraph which appears to be
universally accepted as important, as below.


"The right to freedom of expression is at the very heart of the Internet's
open and participatory nature, and both new opportunities for, and new
threats to, this right have emerged in the digital ecology."

It's important to add this, I think, and I apologise for its omission. It
was discussed and accepted widely in preparation of this document.

I suggest it be added before "Other important Internet policy areas" in the
text.

Please if you oppose this addition to the text which seems to be getting
widespread support, say so clearly now. It was my omission and was not a
controversial section in the discussions that preceded the final version as
far as I can see.

Ian Peter
