[governance] Fwd: [IRPCoalition] Post-WCIT civil society statement: A way forward

[McTim]

Does anyone else find it interesting that this was not mentioned on
the IGC list at all?

Many possible interpretations!

We further call upon governments to recognize the importance of
ensuring meaningful and sustainable civil society participation in all
internet governance and policy-making processes which should be both
transparent and accountable.


–        We urge governments to promote universal, affordable, high
quality and equitable access to the internet


–        Recognizing the necessity of net neutrality for protection of
human rights and for innovation we call for the promotion of network
equality so that access is free from discrimination, filtering or
control on commercial, political or other grounds.


–        Noting that the internet is a medium for both public and
private exchange of views and information across boundaries, we call
on governments and non-state actors to respect and protect freedom of
expression online.


–        Taking into account that privacy is a fundamental human
right, we urge the governments and service providers to take all
legal, procedural and technical steps necessary to guarantee the right
to protection of personal data, including traffic and indirectly
identifiable data; the right to secure private communications,
including the right to online anonymity and pseudonimity; and the
right to be free from unwarranted surveillance and all forms of
eavesdropping
