[governance] Access and Diversity [IGF 2012 - MAG Consultations]

[Tim Davies]

Hello Imran,

These are good suggestions. On your suggested (20), Internet for Kids, one
of the ways I've tried to encourage addressing this in the past is
encouraging talk of 'Children, young people, and young adults' in place of
the term 'youth' which tends to get widely used to cover a blanket group
from 0 to 30+.

What would you think about advocating for a reshaping of theme (8)  INTERNET
IMPACT ON YOUTH into something like:

'IMPACTS OF THE INTERNET ON YOUTH: CHILDREN, YOUNG PEOPLE and YOUNG ADULTS,
AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE INTERNET'

with sub-questions such as:

- How are 'youth' affected by Internet Governance decisions?

- How are 'youth' shaping the Internet? How can opportunities for youth to
contribute positively to the development of the Internet be encouraged?

- What are the differences in how Internet Governance should address issues
for children, young people and young adults?


All the best

Tim
