[IRPCoalition] Just Net Coalition statement to BRICS summit on Internet Governance and Human Rights

Thu Jul 17 17:36:53 EEST 2014

Dear Carolina

I think the JNC are the ones to respond to this question.

This is the IRP Coalition; as with Best Bits and the IGC there are 
overlaps but also distinctions between memberships so to speak on key 
points. I have never assumed a post implies endorsement rather a 
communication, and fyi, a request and so on.

If a list forwards an announcement or item this does not imply 
endorsement or agreement per se. As far as I know, this caveat applies 
to all the lists I have been, or are a part of. If email lists were to 
proceed as if everything carried on them has been automatically 
endorsed, or assumes all on the list agree with the item, then we would 
all have inboxes that would be considerably less full! :)) Moreover, the 
sharing of news and developments by this method would be considerably 
curtailed if agreement had to be either assumed or obtained before 
sharing it.

But this is my view. The IRPC list is open to all to post on and to date 
i.e. over 6 years we have had a range of posts, some scintillating 
debates despite strong disagreements, and we have managed to get 
substantial work done.

best
MF
