[governance] Including Rights

[Eric Dierker]

McTim makes an excellent point. A cross over development approach would bring more into the fold while giving the overseers less of a denial of inclusion argument.
 
There are generally two hisorical approaches to the advocacy of expansion of Human Rights. 
One is an outside looking in demanding approach, and the other an insider job with multiple objectives being framed by the promoters.  I think that we have seen that the exclusive concentration on Human Rights by any organization is idealistic and usually leads to antisocial fanaticism.  
Where as, when the Human Rights are enveloped into a pre-or - concurrently existing structure for the promotion of more tangible advancement it gains credibility and strength.

I'm not sure that I completely understand the possible implications of this
but on the face of it I would support this approach.

Here is a suggestion.  Why don't we pitch instead of a "Right to Internet
Development", which would be the right to develop Internet policy and
standards in a bottom up, open, documented and transparent fashion,
independent from commercial and governmental interests.

This combines Rights and a Development Agenda together in once concept.

I would think the technical community would get behind this!
