[governance] RE: On the process of proposing workshop themes

[Lisa Horner]

Hi Divina and all
 
Just a quick note to say that I intend to submit a workshop proposal on "rights and the internet" issues, focussing on the approach of building discussion and agreement around rights-based values and principles for internet governance.  I'm doing some work on this this year in association with other groups, and the workshop would be a way of feeding back on progress and continuing the debate from last year's 'mainstreaming rights' workshop.  Thoughts/comments/collaboration welcome!
 
Thanks,
Lisa Horner

Dear all

I agree very much on Milton's rationale for putting up themes (as stated below) because they seem essential even though one is not in the best position to organize them.

I'll suggest three, picking up on my memory from past exchanges, and because they haven't re-emerged:
        1) the future of labour in internet governance. That's a theme that hasn't emerged and yet it is central to policy-making, not to mention to labour itself. There are different scenarii around cognitive capitalism, individual entrepreneurship, labor value vs. knowledge value... And it is especially timely with the current crisis... But i am not an economist and i am not a trade unionist....

        2) the internet rights or a human rights based internet issue... That remains undecided and in spite of much discussion it seems to have disappeared...

        3) media and information literacy/education in the information society is one close to my heart. It is urgent to propose and develop global policies on the theme, in connection with intellectual property rights, but also open educational ressources on line, the future of universities, sustainable development....

Hoping some of you will continue the thread,...

		the proposal to call for expressions of interest on themes rather than  full-fledged workshop proposals at that stage (they will naturally come  later). It has the benefit of sensing the level of interest on various themes  but also allows people who do not intend to organize a workshop themselves to  indicate that they think a specific topic should be addressed. This is what I  did last year by putting an early placeholder in favor of a workshop on  "dimensions of cybersecurity" while indicating that I did not intend to  organize it myself.
