Coalition List (some thank-yous)

From: Viktor Szabados <vikszabados at gmail.com>
To: Marianne Franklin <m.i.franklin at gold.ac.uk>
Dear Coalition,
I am considering to be a part of the Steering Committee, this as I am
recognising the work which have been done and all the efforts made. I
was contacting the Charter in preparation to IGF2012 and than finally we
could communicate with Dixie. I participated at the Coalition meeting at
the IGF and since in contact with Marianne. See information about myself
and what I am doing in Internet related issues, see also my CV.
my thoughts:
I am concerned about governance of the Internet. As we can see nowadays
governments, the telecommunication sector and so on is trying to put an
emphasis on governing, ruling and controlling the free flow of
information. Internet was designed to grow organically and to
interconnect different end points with each other. This key idea should
be part of discussions before taking actions even it should be for
protecting users. The limit between crime and incitement to violence and
limits of freedom of expression are for example not easy to draw, no
authority is in a better position. Therefore an open and
multi-stakeholder dialogue is needed with all representatives, who know
might build up their own structures (Cyberspace Conference initiative by
governments, World Conference on International Telecommunications by
telecom industry)
Over all the discrepancy of geographical jurisdiction and the global
scope of Internet (including inefficiency of geographical blocking
measures etc. and different understanding, values) shows how complex
these questions are.
to role of the Coalition:
The coalition could be a place for active partnerships (with local,
national and supranational institutions, other organisations) and
exchange of different practices and developments between the worldwide
IGF meetings.
Also the local IGF meetings should be involved is possible through
members and their networks. The Charter could be also besides as it is a
declaration a good tool to make people think about Internet issues, not
just use it and engage them in ongoing discussions also in the different
examples of taking control over Internet. If possible some projects with
partners could be also initiated.
to my person:
I was born 1982 in Hungary, since my early school years I was always
working voluntary in the student representations. After my high-school I
went to Vienna to study economics and EU integration. I contributed to
student association in Vienna and the Hungarian umbrella organisation of
student organisations and initiated the independent National Youth
Council for Hungary. 2010-2011 I also worked for the European Youth
Forum as liaison officer for the Hungarian EU Presidency. I was
continuously working in consulting, PR and on different projects also
youth related ones, see my CV in attachment.
I am founder of 2 best practice projects, the one engaging 25 students
in reporting, blogging http://www.elnoksegtudositoi.eu see also in
English, and a project which simulated EU Council meetings with
high-school students and was awarded by the Venice group as best
practice for communicating
Europe in schools http:// www.elnoksegemberei.eu
<http://www.elnoksegemberei.eu> see videos in English. My hobby is
journalism and have been also working for the biggest publishing house
in Hungary as as chief editor of a yearly special 100 pages magazine on
higher education 2010.
I am also working as facilitator in international trainings, meetings
and also in special Internet related topics (4 Oct 2012 Youth Forum of
the Budapest Conference on Cyberspace, see:
http://elnoksegtudositoi.eu/rovatok/kulugyek/young-people-had-a-say-at-the-budapest-conference-on-cyberspace-2012/
21-24 Nov 2012 The Council of Europe, Action and Campaigning against
Hate Speech, Workshop for bloggers and online human rights activists on
how to combat hate speech online, leading workshop on openness of
Internet vs. legislation, campaigning. I also created a group for these
participants and anyone who is interested:
http://www.facebook.com/groups/combatinghatespeech/
In April 2012 I participated at an international media seminar in
Turkey, in May 2012 I became associated member of the European Working
Group on Digital Rights at FYEG.
June 2012 I participated as part of the European youth delegation
(http://www.facebook.com/weboftomorrow?ref=ts&fref=ts)rhs
<http://www.facebook.com/weboftomorrow?ref=ts&fref=ts%29rhs> at the
EuroDIG in Stockholm and also was making interviews with panelists, see:
http://youtu.be/Fwzk1qW8tpc, http://youtu.be/CpCypc8fkmM
October started with the Budapest Conference on Cyberspace, I was asked
by the Council of Europe to support the youth forum part with concept
and facilitation, see results:
http://elnoksegtudositoi.eu/rovatok/kulugyek/young-people-had-a-say-at-the-budapest-conference-on-cyberspace-2012/
In October I also started an initiative in Hungary to start dialogue on
Internet related issues (in line with EuroDIG and IGF), as in Hungary we
do not have IGF and also the proposal of the government for Internet
blocking was proposed (end of December national assembly will pass).
Our Hungarian group:
Az Internet mindenkié - (the Internet belongs to everyone)
http://www.facebook.com/groups/azinternetmindenkie
I also gave an interview to the national radio on these:
http://www.hirado.hu/Hirek/2012/11/03/11/ENSZ_internetforum_fokuszban_a_biztonsag_es_a_szabalyozas.aspx
In November I participated with the European youth delegation at the
Internet Governance Forum IGF 2012 in Baku, making useful connections
and asking for support to our initiative in Hungary and awareness
raising how important it is to discuss Internet related issues (in
Hungary blocking in particular) as it belongs to everyone (see aricle
about Google event:
http://elnoksegtudositoi.eu/rovatok/english/google-s-touchdown-with-freedom-of-expression-in-baku/
All Internet related articles of mine, partly in English, partly only in
Hungarian:

I would be happy to learn more also about how members of the Coalition,
Steering Committee are engaged in and wishing themselves for the Coalition
Yours,
Viktor Szabados
