Dear all,


The Internet Rights and Principles Coalition will be in Guadalajara for the IGF 2016 next week.

Whether you are in Mexico or participating remotely, please come and join us!


The IRPC Meeting is on Wednesday 7 December at 10.45. The first half of the meeting will be a roundtable discussion co-organised by Amnesty International and the second half will be the IRPC's Annual General Meeting. (See calendar link and  details on the roundtable discussion below).


On the DCs Main Session on Thursday 8 December, 15.00  the IRPC will be presenting the Charter Study Guide - a very interesting  and important project developed by Syracuse University students in collaboration with the IRPC - for discussion and feedback.


Finally, and also on Thursday 8 December, we will be hosting a Lightning Session on Human Rights and Minorities. I will get back with more details on this 20-minute panel as soon as we have the new time slot confirmed.
