>>>>> Additionally, it is important to mention as a background element, that

>>>>> Forum
>>>>> make specific reference to human rights related issues, including
>>>>> privacy,
>>>>> freedom of expression, data rights, cyber security, and internet
>>>>> intermediary liability.
>>>>>
>>>>> Consumer rights are a growing area of interest, including the need for
>>>>> transparency, regulatory oversight, and mechanisms for addressing
>>>>> consumer
>>>>> complaints.  Data ownership and privacy are major issues in this area.
>>>>>
>>>>> Human rights in relation to security is a major theme for the IGF,
>>>>> including cybercrime, and the tension between privacy and security.
>>>>> There

>>>>> youth, as
>>>>> well as practical workshops on surveillance and data protection.
>>>>>
>>>>> Developing best practices and legal frameworks is discussed in many of

>>>>>
>>>>> Multi-stakeholderism is a cross-cutting theme in the workshop

>>>>> particularly with respect to determining best practices and frameworks.

>>>>> Based on it, Kenya, in partnership with APC, Finland and Sweden, would
