[IRPCoalition] Fw: [DC] Internet We Want Framework | Inputs Deadline Extended to Friday, 8 March

Tue Mar 5 18:30:18 EET 2024

Minda,

not sure if they will be helpful - but just in case...

Below are a few other draft documents, provided just in case there's
something helpfully employable therein...  there's alot therein (much more
done); if there is not time, that is understandable, et. al.  nonetheless,
if i didn't forward, then, you'd not have the opportunity at all.

Importance of Establishing a Department for Peace to Address Global
Challenges and Promote Socioeconomic Investments in Peace Infrastructure (
21 November 2023 )
https://docs.google.com/document/d/11dDz4vqkjX_Y2v8VdEVD5Gu3vuDhRPDIOipRg0UUjd4/edit?usp=sharing

"Commitment to Establish Regional Departments for Peace" ( 24 November 2023
)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Kqrp7dtwl396YjwK3YZPRpKo-zQqXFk-Dx5_eeOB0wI/edit?usp=sharing

Defining a United Nations Instrument on International Collaboration for
Peace ICT (24 November 2023)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1215uqSsLbj3KACqXZIPSI-SQbg43AQ4VyixMK9K2InE/edit?usp=sharing

Global Digital Compact Response Draft (8th may 2023)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xetF-5dhyU-iuLV-Trn2P-m_BHbeK-N-6e0pOcbsx40/edit?usp=sharing

Defining a United Nations Instrument on International Collaboration for
Cyber Peace, ICT, and Humanitarian Technology: thoughts, considerations and
some initial works….

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UR4c6X4-iTXADqkXNOoUOEtLSjLmgGGaU8iPPFLV2x8/edit?usp=sharing

note also; I've often used tools like ChatGPT to help with structuring
documents; however, the draft 'placeholder' content produced, most-often
advocates (in-effect) for the use of their tools and/or approach, rather
than others that are moreover the intended purpose.  For example; on pages
12 of:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bxU-AAKV39oViqhHPoMmp_heUCgq1bgVKyAAGfVKeVc/edit?usp=sharing
there is a Diagram (per below).

But, the intended meaning of 'peace infrsatructure projects', 'peace
industries' & departments of peace - is not about an extension of defence
industry (as it is today); rather, something that's quite different, able
to support the needs of people working to ensure all humanitarian knowledge
is able to be retained, of languages, natural medicinal practices, etc.
etc. etc.  peace infrastructure, as distinct to commerce or war -crafts..
(where difficult issues would end-up being escalated to, but therefore
also, to different people...)...   as such, the point being - be careful
with the language in the drafts, sometimes it's just placeholder content
that needs to be changed...

Foundationally,  access to justice is not what it should be...  'peace
infrastructure projects' is a notion, about how to address those
challenges.  Yet, the majority of the considerations are about human
beings, in support of human rights.  where human beings are acting as an
agent on behalf of some form of legal personality, then, imo, they're in a
different sort of 'land', where law has not been properly enough applied,
historically..   as such 'professional identity wallets'
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gjmxz8NRMbtK-vp-z8UnL4IIB05COqW-oWO76al3GfQ/edit
(noting, in simple form, metadata capabilities in MS systems:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bQg9slmsducR22V2YbgDw5r91MZ4KnoK62tBET_s0Ts/edit
- as to generate 'compilations for courts, about what happened, etc.) is
considered, by me, somewhat differently...  fairly sure, groups don't want
to be defined by the worst amongst them..  it would be hard to support
honourable people, if that were the case...

particularly important for peace infrastructure works, as the funds
shouldn't be employed to fund corruption professionals, etc.

Some of these categories, seek to provide distinctions..  whilst unfettered
access and use at all times, regardless of all other considerations - is a
notion, i've heard; i also think, its pragmatically difficult.  so, if the
'internet' gets turned off, or people are prohibited from communicating
with people in a particular region - then - wouldn't it be better to define
a method that says 'humanitarian ict services' must stay on?

🙏

Tim.
