Instead of all of us writing up a PR piece can we share? We can them tweak a
little and make it suitable for the organizational/cultural environment .

ps - sorry Shaila and Fiorello... we had to get the text to the printer.
We should definitely include Fiorello's ideas in the Charter.
We've referenced the Charter in the intro text, and added "get involved with the
Charter at www..." so I think we're ok!
Best,
Lisa

Listening to everyone comments, my suggestion is that we include the following
in the introductory comment.This would complete the perceptive and purpose of
the 10
..something that says...." these 10 rights and principles are the
precursor/forerunner/flagship-to the human rights charter,wherein all of the
UDHR rights are laid out"

Lisa,
If we are a go, please give us a release schedule, so we can coordinate on the
pr push.
Presumably the dynamic coalition leads and everyone follows re-tweating, liking,
linking and sharing the 10 punchy principles?
If we have a couple days notice I'm sure a bunch of us can try to amplify the
message.
Lee

I am also fine with it, as long as we remain open to later versions that include
wider participation. parminder

Maybe unnecessary to state on the punchy doc, but for long form maybe labeling
as version 0.1 or something like that gets across further input and
modifications my come...and that the articulation of Internet rights and
principles is not logically a 1-time thing.
my 2 cents: hit the pr button hard, soon.

Hi all
Thanks for the further suggestions. I'm personally happy with most of them and
have incorporated them below, with one or two slight modifications...
We've discussed whether we can say that everyone has a duty to promote rights
quite a lot in the context of the Charter and these principles, and it was
concluded that we can't. Everyone has a duty to respect, but only states have a
responsibility to promote and fulfil.
For encryption, we did have the right to anonymity under expression already.
But it's under privacy in the Charter and probably makes more sense there....and
now we've added association to expression in these principles, it makes it more
concise. So I've taken it out of expression, and added encryption to privacy.
The privacy principle has also changed a bit following some suggestions from
Katitza (she also wants to take a closer look this evening)...mainly to separate
out data protection from privacy of communication, and to remove "retention",
as this implies that data retention is ok whilst the privacy community is
pushing for minimal data retention.
RE life, liberty and security....from what I remember, this was pushed for hard
by some of the punchy group people. It relates to the use of the Internet to
infringe on other's rights e.g. for the trafficking and abuse of women and
children.
RE more time for discussion....I hear what you're saying, and if people really
want to discuss further that's fine. However, some are really keen to get this
out, and it seems a strategic time to do so, as we discussed in our last
conference call. The punchy group worked hard on the doc, and many other
active coalition members have made suggestions and said they're happy with it.
For the Charter, we delayed the process following the IGF to allow for more
discussion and debate, despite the fact that many didn't want to. Then, in the
end, not many people participated in the prolonged revision process. The idea
was always to try and get these principles out quickly, so that we can spend
time getting the detail of the Charter right (which fleshes out many of these
principles, adding the nuance that such a punchy doc can't).
So, I would really like to get this out and make the most of imminent
opportunities to start spreading the word. But if there are strong objections,
let's discuss.
Thanks again, and all the best,
Lisa

10 INTERNET RIGHTS AND PRINCIPLES
This document defines ten key rights and principles that must form the basis of
Internet governance. They have been compiled by the Internet Rights and
Principles Dynamic Coalition (IRP), an open network of individuals and
organisations working to uphold human rights in the Internet environment. The
principles are rooted in international human rights standards, and derive from
the coalition's emerging Charter of Human Rights and Principles for the
Internet.
The Internet offers unprecedented opportunities for the realisation of human
rights, and plays an increasingly important role in our everyday lives. It is
therefore essential that all actors, both public and private, respect and
protect human rights on the Internet. Steps must also be taken to ensure that
the Internet operates and evolves in ways that fulfil human rights to the
greatest extent possible. To help realise this vision of a rights-based
Internet environment, the 10 Rights and Principles are:
1) Universality and Equality
All humans are born free and equal in dignity and rights, which must be
respected, protected and fulfilled in the online environment.
2) Rights and Social Justice
The Internet is a space for the promotion, protection and fulfilment of human
rights and the advancement of social justice. Everyone has the duty to respect
the human rights of all others in the online environment.
3) Accessibility
Everyone has an equal right to access and use a secure and open Internet.
4) Expression and Association
Everyone has the right to seek, receive, and impart information freely on the
Internet without censorship or other interference. Everyone also has the right
to associate freely through and on the Internet, for social, political, cultural
or other purposes.
5) Privacy and data protection
Everyone has the right to privacy of communication online. This includes
freedom from surveillance and the right to use encryption. Everyone also has
the right to data protection, including control over how their personal data is
collected, used, disclosed, commercially exploited and disposed.
6) Life, liberty and security
The rights to life, liberty, and security must be respected, protected and
fulfilled online. These rights must not be infringed upon, or used to infringe
other rights, in the online environment.
7) Diversity
Cultural and linguistic diversity on the Internet must be promoted, and
technical and policy innovation should be encouraged to facilitate diversity of
expression.
8) Network equality
Everyone shall have universal and open access to the Internet's content, free
from discriminatory prioritisation, filtering or traffic control on commercial
or political grounds.
9) Standards and regulation
The Internet's architecture, communication systems, and document and data
formats shall be based on open standards that ensure complete interoperability,
inclusion and equal opportunity for all.
10) Governance
Human rights and social justice must form the legal and normative foundations
upon which the Internet operates and is governed. This shall happen in a
transparent and multilateral manner, based on principles of openness, inclusive
participation and accountability.
