[IRP] Workshop proposal on Internet Governance Principles

[katitza at datos-personales.org]

Hi there,

I have concerns about promoting the  "Marco Civil". While it has a lot of
good provisions and a have pass through a wonderful participatory 
process, it also incorporate a mandatory data retention provision that
many from civil society has strong concerns. We should be careful that
government officials s will not end up mirroring the bad provisions
(instead of the good ones).

I am sharing with you my real concerns as you know but since I am seeing
everywhere the promotion of the framework, I feel obligated to share my
concerns with it.

A big hug, Katitza

> I know it is sort of a late call, but we (Center for Technology and
> Society - CTS/FGV) have been considering the proposal of a workshop
> for the next IGF to discuss the several documents on internet
> governance principles that have been around recently. Of course the
> IRP would play a relevant role on that debate as we have the Charter
> and the 10 Principles to report on.
>
> The general idea of this workshop is to compare those documents and to
> get people to debate procedural and substantive issues that such
> initiatives have faced. Another goal is to have a session that could
> frame the multistakeholderism debate as a debate over principles for
> internet governance.
>
> Any suggestion is more than welcome. We are open to any comments on
> the substance and the panelists that could be involved to foster the
> debate.

> The establishment of principles that should govern and enlight future

> debate over Internet Governace. In a multistakeholder approach (being
> multistakeholderism itself a fundamental internet governance

> What are the similarities of such initiatives and how a better
> understanding of such enterprises could lead us to a more
> participative, transparent and effective internet governance? The
> workshop will focus on the challenges that such initiatives have
> faced, from organizational issues (such as diverse representation,
> ways to take stock of different perspectives and to reach agreement)
> to content issues (such as the preponderancy of some principles and
> which ones are the most contingent ones).
>
> The workshop would tentatively gather for discussion representatives
> of (i) IGF?s Internet Rights and Principles Dynamic Coalition (?10
> Principles for Internet Governance?); (ii) Council of Europe Ad Hoc
> Advisory Group on Cross-border Internet (?Draft Declaration on
> Internet Governance Principles?); (iii) Brazilian Government (?Marco
> Civil da Internet?); (iv) CGI.br (?Principles for the government and
> use of Internet?); and (v) APC (?Code of Good Practice on Information,
> Participation and Transparency on Internet Governance?).
