We could also go to discuss data prices, which is a severe impairment for less developed countries.

>> Following Olivier's email sharing the Statement from DC- Core Internet Values, I would like add that we have a close relationship with our sister DC- CIV and that the IRPC shares the same values of a free, global, inclusive, user-centered and rights-based Internet. If there are no objections, I would be happy to reply to Olivier and to let the DC-CIV know of this Coalitions' endorsement.

>> “Shutdowns infringe basic human rights such as freedom of expression and the right to information with harmful consequences for people's lives.”

>> Dear Colleagues,
>>
>> the DC on Core Internet Values (DC-CIV) focuses on the Technical

>> being Global, Open, Free, End-to-End, Interoperable, Robust and
>> Reliable, etc.
>>
>> Recently, several governments around the world have taken unprecedented
>> action that blatantly breaks some of these Core Internet Values. Whilst

>> by governments that were not seen as democratic, the worrying trend is
>> that we are seeing some democratic governments drafting laws and taking
>> action that would change the nature of the Internet's characteristics as
>> listed above.
>>
>> As you know, the DCs operate in a United Nations environment that
>> prevents any organisation from openly criticising specific member
>> states. Accepting this, a group of volunteers from DC-CIV drafted a more
>> general statement that urges all governments to watch out for actions
>> and laws that they might draft, that might negatively impact on Core
>> Internet Values.
>>
>> The document is currently in draft form and has gone as far as possible
>> within DC-CIV, with consensus found on the wording after much
>> discussion. I am now submitting this to all DCs for their study and
>> approval. In fact, if you think you can improve on the text without

>> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oTa7As7hSnrKrERX4sFuV_hkv4y06gP-o6uXbRrQWz8/edit?usp=sharing
>>
>> Our plan, once the Statement is complete, is to use all available
>> channels to share it, so here too, your help would be welcome. I hope
>> that many DCs will be able to join us in this Statement, as it reflects
>> the concern of a global community towards a phenomenon that is
