[governance] Bill of Rights for Governance, Aug 15 deadline

[Eric Dierker]

Jeff,    Need I remind readers, of what are my core beliefs;
Article 1.All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.  
Article 2. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty. 
I note this coming up again but it is being ignored in large part.  Again the issues center around fitting it in to someones agenda or timetable or being "on topic".  To me this is the topic of governance.  Unless and until we establish basic principals of human rights and dignity in the use of our Internet it will only be a capitalist tool to control and sell to the masses. Governments, IP interests, mega multinational corporations must all be limited by a robust proclamation of our most basic human rights in the area of freedom of speech and dignity.  It is of course a matter of dignified, respectful interface but without a steadfast foundation acknowledging inherent liberties it is by power's grace that we have rights not by rights.

Eric and all,
 
  Here, here!  Unfortunately Milton will not be pleased, nor shall Ginger.  Of course that's
a shame...

In that it is not the governance that needs to be protected from the users. In that it is the users that must be protected from overbearing, self appointed, non-representative rulers in governance;
 
Know all persons by these presence.
 
 1. All internet users regardless of Race, Color, National or Geographic Origins, sex, age, language, Education or lack thereof shall be treated equally.  (we may want to take a page from A2K and add handicapped, a page from our Gay and Lesbian users and add sexual preference, and just to be careful add faith and creed)
 
2. No organization shall be created that in any way purports to govern the internet that excludes any class or segment of society, including simple users without other stake, from representation therein.
 
3. No organization shall be formed by any nation in their sole national capacity that purports to govern any other nations useage of the Internet.
 
4. No commercial or governmental interest shall ever be given priority over the rights of users.
