[IRPCoalition] IRPC at EuroDIG16 - Ws 2 and 10

[Marianne Franklin]

Dear all

Just wanted to follow up from Minda's post last week. The two workshops 
co-organized by IRPC on minorities (WS2) and refugees (WS10) were a 
great success thanks to all the hard work of the wider organizing team, 
and to IRPC members who played key roles on the day, remote moderating, 
report writing, and generating substantial input from networks and 
individuals further afield.

The hashtag for WS 10, #refugeesinternet, actually trended on Twitter so 
if that is an indication of interest in the links between 
refugees/newcomers, human rights, and internet access we did well.

Our speakers included representatives from a range of views and 
experiences. We were also able to engage with the technical community 
during WS2 and with political representatives in Brussels in WS10.

The aims for both sessions were achieved. The outputs will be up on the 
Wiki in the near future so looking forward to seeing these two 
interconnected themes move along within IG agendas that consider the 
full spectrum of human rights law and norms!

Thank you to all of those who made it possible

best wishes

MF
