[IRP] Ten punchy principles

Hi Lisa and all

if it isn't too late, here's two more comments / requests for
improvements:

* The point on Privacy should IMO explicitly mention the right to
  encrypted communication, without restriction on the ciphers
  and keys that one is allowed to use.

  Proposed wording:
  """
  Everyone has the right to privacy online free from surveillance,
  including the right to control how their personal data is collected,
  used, disclosed, retained and disposed; and including the
  unrestricted right to use encryption.
  """

* The point on Standards is currently too weak -- it is not enough to
  say that "the Internet's architecture" shall be based on open
  standards, as that can be understood to exclude higher-layer
  communication services (think "Facebook", "Twitter", etc).

  Proposed wording:
  """
  The Internet's architecture and communication systems shall be based
  on open standards that facilitate interoperability for all and
  inclusion of all.
  """

Greetings,
Norbert
