[IRP] Brainstorm...What do we call the punchy principles?

If I may elaborate....we want this to be very widely accepted/adopted right.

'Key' (no offense Lisa) is redundant since we wouldn't put all this effort into '10 random principles' or '10 insignificant principles'

Second mention of people is...also redundant/unnecessarily restrictive...since we also want future laws/regulations/policies of governments ie not people but institutions; AND we want corporations ie also not human people to refine their own polices to abide by our 10 - right?

So, for me at least only question is do we want '10 Internet Rights and Principles for Internet Governance' which seems...redundant.

or

10 Internet Rights and Principles which to me sounds like schlocky biz book or self-help book title 101.

so...

in final analysis, short and simple to me is best and most accurate/inclusive.


Document is a 'Declaration of Internet Rights and Principles'  and short thing is 'Internet Rights and Principles.' 

Ok I will concede to marketing 101 and go along with '10 Internet Rights and Principles' for short punchy version...but that is my final offer! ; )

I favor either '10 Internet Rights and Principles' or the still shorter and sweeter 'Internet Rights and Principles'....or (long form) Declaration of Internet Rights and Principles.'

Thanks Ginger and Robert.

I like it...but I'm still wondering if it captures what we're doing enough? They are principles *for* something (internet governance/people's internet/...), and we believe they are *key*, rather than just a list of ideas.   Also, the document is really a list of principles rather than rights and principles (which is more the domain of the Charter rather than these punchy principles).  Hmmmm..... Maybe the original "10 key principles for internet governance" is the way to go.  What do you think?

All the best,
Lisa

+1 on "10 Internet Rights and Principles"

I like this because it is succinct while effectively branding IRP.

Do we want to differentiate from 'other' principles? Identify with IRP?

10 Internet Rights and Principles

Hi all

Whilst punchy principles works for us, it doesn't for the final doc!  So as a working title at the moment we have: "Ten principles to govern the Internet".  Does that capture our aims enough, and is it catchy enough?  Please send any ideas you have through (bearing in mind our need to be punchy!)....

Maybe....

10 Principles for a People's Internet
10 Principles for a People-oriented Internet
10 Principles for a rights-based Internet
.......?

Or maybe the original title is straightforward and simple as it is....?

Thoughts please!

Best,
Lisa
