Subject: [IRPCoalition] Open letter to Zuckerberg re: Internet.org


 
Dear IRP'ers



See below, and attached an open letter by Access that is addressed to Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook about their internet.org project and its implications for net neutrality, FoE, and other rights and freedoms contained in the IRPC Charter, and subsequent declarations.




As internet rights and principles continue to be chipped away at from all directions, this letter is timely.

Hi all - we've had some great input from a number of people over the last few days, and we've incorporated it all into (yet another) draft of our open letter to Mark Zuckerberg on zero rating, attached.


As you'll see, the substance is mostly unchanged. Here's what we did:



Moved some text around to make it flow better
Added some language about "equality of opportunity" the problems of a two-tiered Internet

Fixed a few typos and problems of clarity 
We'd like folks to consider this current text as final minus any glaring problems. To allow for more groups to sign (including many in India, who are just now seeing the final text)
we're now closing this up tomorrow (Tuesday) at COB EST. 

Please review the letter and let me know if you can sign. If your organization has already signed and is uncomfortable with any changes, please let me know.


Once this is live, I encourage you to publicize it through social media and by blog, and to articulate your reason for getting behind the language - which will also give you an opportunity to voice criticisms not included in the letter.
