> Dear all

> Thank you to everyone who joined the meeting in Geneva on Sunday, either
> remotely or in person. As well as those who made it to the venue in Geneva
> we had about 15 people participating remotely which is fantastic, and a
> large number stayed for the full 4.5 hours! I think it was a really
> productive meeting, and it was great to have everyone together. It feels
> like we?re making real progress, both with the Charter and with coordinating
> and cooperating on wider initiatives. We?ll try and send through a
> transcript or recording of the event, but in the meantime please see the
> meeting minutes below for an overview of what was discussed. As always,
> please send comments and additions through to the list. I?m looking forward
> to continued collaboration and energy in the run up to the IGF.

> ? Meryem, Wolfgang and Andrew from the expert group n met in the

> ? In the afternoon the experts updated the coalition on progress
> made so far. Coalition members were broadly positive about the work that?s
> been done so far, and have agreed to send and substantive comments through
> to the experts for them to consider as they are finalising the first draft.
>
> ? The experts have promised to complete a draft by the end of
> June. Meryem, Wolfgang, Andrew, Wang and Roberto will be working together to
> do this.
>
> ? The coalition will then have another opportunity to comment on
> the draft. Coalition members should still feel that the Charter is owned by
> them! We?ll then have another conversation to decide on next steps e.g.
> outreach, strategy, launch, further work.
>
> Some comments made by coalition members in the meeting:
>
> ? As the Charter is quite complex and heavy, we should try to
> produce a user-friendly version of the Charter once we have a solid first
> draft.
>
> ? We should ensure that as many stakeholders as possible are
> consulted on the Charter, including civil society, governments and
> businesses. We can start this process at the IGF.
>
> ? We need to produce a strategy of what we want to achieve with
> the charter, and agree on whether we want endorsements/how this should be
> done.
>
> ? Specific issues e.g. we should avoid presenting copyright as a
> right, and refer instead to the rights of creators; including accessibility
> both as part of right to development and as part of non-discrimination
> principle.
>
> ? We can try to keep levels 1 and 2 of the Charter technology
> neutral, and then continually update the level 3 principles as technologies
> change.
>
>
>
> *2)** **Towards IGF 2010*
>
> ? Coalition members shared information about the workshops they
> have proposed for the IGF. We agreed to put together a list of
> rights-related workshops once they have been confirmed so that we can
> coordinate with each other. We will consider producing a joint report on
> findings and outcomes on human rights after the IGF.
>
> ? Many participants supported the idea of having rights
> rapporteurs at the regional IGFs to report back to the coalition on what is
> discussed regarding human rights and rights-related issues. Dixie is
> producing a report from the Eurodig, and Marilia offered to report on the
> Latin America and Caribbean event. We need rapporteurs for the other
> regional IGFs, and even national IGFs if possible. We will compile our
> findings into a report to present at the IGF in September.
>
> ? We discussed the need to be strategic and coordinated at the
> IGF. It was suggested that we go to workshops to listen, and incorporate
> findings/issues into the Charter. It was also suggested that we should not
> only go to sessions that are explicitly about human rights, but also to
> other sessions in order to ensure that human rights dimensions are
> considered. We could regroup at the end of each day to update and learn
> from each other.
>
> ? The idea of authoring a statement in support of a free and open
> internet to be read out at the IGF was also floated.
>
> * *
>
> *3)** **Other initiatives and business*
>
> ? We discussed possible complementarities between the IRP Charter
> and the European Council?s commitment to producing a charter of user?s
> rights in the Granada Declaration. Miguel provided an analysis of progress
> so far, stating that economic dimensions are being prioritised over rights
> dimensions. Johan and Lee said that they would try to put the coalition in
> touch with relevant people in the Spanish government (current EU
> presidency), and maybe Miguel could also help?
>
> ? We discussed possibilities for engaging with ICANN. Olivier
> agreed to draft a one-pager, outlining the main human rights issues and how
> the coalition could participate or contribute.
>
> ? Some coalition members stressed that the coalition needs to
> continue to work on raising its profile and defining its identity. Other
> stakeholders have commented that it?s still not clear what we mean by
> ?rights and principles?. LH comment - the Charter will hopefully help to
> address that, as well as continued interaction with IGF secretariat/MAG and
> work on website.
>
> ? Marilia provided an update on the collaborative process of
> defining rights and principles for the internet in Brazil. She has sent
> more information through to the IRP list, and a best practice session has
> been proposed for the IGF.
>
> ? Johan provided an update on the expert meeting on freedom on the
> internet that is being co-hosted by the Swedish government and the UN
> Special Rapporteur on freedom of opinion and expression in June. It is a
> closed meeting, but Johan will keep the coalition informed of any outcomes.
