[IRP] Hedgehogs to the keyboard, please

[michael gurstein]

Hi Matthias,
 
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for (and as we have discussed
here before I'm not sure of the usage "Human Rights on the Internet") but my
"one big thing" would be that in the absence of the means to access, and the
capacities and means to make effective use of the Internet the issue of
Human Rights on, or with, or by means of the Internet becomes to my mind,
meaningless.
 
Best,
 
Mike

Dear IRPers, 

 

If you recall, I wrote some time ago that I?m the thematic lead of the 5th
Initiative of the Internet & Society Co:llaboratory on human rights and the
Internet (www.collaboratory.de). The initiative started last week and we?re
currently finalizing the schedules and work plans for the interest groups.
They reflect the broad variety of experts involved and include groups
committed to exploring stakeholder interaction in human rights protection,
to assessing Internet-based human rights activism in South America and Asia
and one dedicated to developing a model for a polycentric human
rights-sensitive Internet Governance. Exciting weeks are ahead and I?ll let
you know about the process. 

 

But I would also like to use this opportunity to invite you to give me some
feedback as to what issues you feel I should include in the sub-groups list
of issues.

 

We all know that human rights are impacted by the Internet in a multitude of
ways, but if you?d be forced to be a hedgehog for a day and name ?one big
thing? regarding human rights on the Internet ? what would it be? 

 

I am looking forward to getting feedback. 

 

Kind regards

 

Matthias
