[governance] 10 internet Rights and Principles

Fri Apr 8 05:22:25 EDT 2011

Following on from Lee and Ginger's messages I wanted to share the 10 internet Rights and Principles with you.

The Internet Rights and Principles Dynamic Coalition are working to develop a comprehensive Charter of Human Rights and Principles for the Internet - a document interpreting and explaining how existing human rights apply to the Internet, including those internet policy principles which are essential in order to fulfil human rights in the digital age. We are currently consulting on the Charter, feedback will go into creating a Version 2.0 to launch at the IGF in Kenya.

The "10 Internet Rights and Principles" is a distillation of the wide-ranging Charter down to the ten core demands we make in order to defend and expand the Internet as a space which is empowering, open and accessible to all. The 10 Internet Rights and Principles were launched at the second expert meeting on "Freedom of Expression and the Internet" in Stockholm, convened on 30-31 March 2011 by the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs. The UN Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Opinion and Expression and the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media, who attended this launching event, welcomed this initiative.

I agree. We have to propose IRP. It is indeed perfect timing.
Best, gp

I like the list.

One more to throw out as an IGC-backed - workshop; or possibly as a plenary theme:  Internet Rights and Principles.

Yeah I know that - certain interests - seem to send such topics into a MAG-hole  never to be seen or heard at IGFs; but doesn't mean we should stop asking for them.

Especially when the Dynamic Coalition's launch of the 10 Internet Rights and Principles last week got it off to a great start. We are heading towards availability in 25 languages already; and I am sure the story will be picked up more in mainstream media in coming days...cause I'm working on it ; )  The doc itself is clearly just a 1st version, open to input and criticsm. Anyway, my 2 cents for IGC to consider.

Dear All,

I believe the three ideas (two proposed by Jeremy and the one proposed by McTim) are important.

Reflection on the Indian proposal towards an IGF 2.0

This kind of work will allow to pave the way towards real improvement of IGF.

Evaluation of the CSTD WG on Improvements to the IGF

This is interesting and convenient because the CSTD is the entry point of IGF into the intergovernmental machinery and an analysis could help to suggest ways to improve work within the framework of the CSTD.

Real IG (I would suggest Current IG vis a vis meta IG)

I believe the group (and many members) around this emailing list, as I have said before, has the capacity, expertise and capabilities to work and influence in what McTim calls real IG, which revolves around settings where current decisions are taken. A workshop presenting and discussing this issue will help clarifying the current mapping between foras, bodies, decisions and impacts, and might help a lot of uninitiated people.

I hope IGC can find resources and partners to take the above ideas for workshops forward.

Miguel

hi,

Might it be possible to do a workshop on an actual Internet Governance

issue instead of navel-gazing?

We couldn't even get our act together to make a statement to the NTIA,

are we really only about talking about meta-IG, and not real IG?

Why not both?  Please suggest a topic for what you call "real IG", and

if there is broad agreement, the IGC can sponsor that too.
