>the Charter, which has been translated in Arabic, Turkish, German, and
>now Spanish. Marianne has also represented the Coalition at IGF-Baku,
>Bali, and Istanbul, as well as EuroDIG (Lisbon and Berlin), and countless
>other Internet Governance venues, fora, and meetings leading workshops,
>coalition building, advocating and fundraising. She has also worked
>toward the implementation of the Charter within policy instruments and
>outcome documents (see:

>coalitions within the IGF in particular. As IRPC Steering Member,
>Marianne will continue to lead the Charter Booklet Project. Thank you
>Marianne!

>The coalition hopes to build on this good work - to grow the coalition;
>implement Human Rights in Internet Governance with the Charter as both an
>aspirational document and guide for policy formulation; seek further
>partnerships to providing netrights education and outreach; and to
>enhance and expand on coalition building at the local, state, and
>regional level to uphold Human Rights on the Internet for all.
