[governance] UNESCO General Conference on Internet ethics

[Divina MEIGS]

dear all
i will be attending the meeting as well. The code of ethics is an outcome of the IFAP programme. I participated in writing its first version (two years ago), as an outcome of WSIS action line 10 on ethics. It has been revised considerably by the member states and the current version is much shorter. It tries to be balanced in its approach and incorporates some of the claims of civil society, in terms of paying attention to non-proprietary media, social justice, etc.
