WG: [IRPCoalition] Fwd: Net of Rights
by Wolf Ludwig March 4, 2016

March 4, 2016

Hello, this is an interesting reading (and film) on the ongoing discussion to explore "the link between internet protocols and human rights online". Best, Wolf IRPCoalition sent Fri, 4 Mar 2016 15:07: >Forwarding Press Release > >Hi all, > >Today, 4 March, ARTICLE 19 and Coding Rights are launching ‘Net of >Rights’, a short film which explores the link between internet protocols >and human rights online. The film will screen at 6pm at the Internet >Freedom Festival. > >Please find the film Net of Rights here: >https://hrpc.io/wp-content/uploads/videos/netofrights.io.mp4 > >and the teaser here: >https://hrpc.io/wp-content/uploads/videos/netofrights.io_teaser.mp4 > >If the teaser doesn't show in your browser, you can also use this link: >https://vimeo.com/157722482 > >Here is the press release (also below): >http://is.gd/kqYjc3 > >and please get involved in the work at: https://hrpc.io/ > >It is too-often assumed that there is no link between protocols (the >standards which underpin the way the internet functions) and human >rights, but this is simply not the case, as the film argues. > >The Internet aspires to be the global ‘network of networks’, providing >connectivity for all users, at all times, for any content. Connectivity >increases the capacity for individuals to exercise their rights, meaning >that the architectural design of the internet is, necessarily, >intertwined with the human rights framework. > >Promoting open, secure and reliable connectivity is essential for the >rights to privacy, expression and assembly. But how are these concepts >addressed at the protocol level? Without proper definition, the human >rights-enabling characteristics of the internet are at risk. > >The role of human rights in Internet policy is slowly becoming part of >the general discourse. Former United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteur on >the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and >expression, Frank La Rue, explicitly spoke of the replationship, leading >to the approval of the landmark resolution "on the promotion, protection >and enjoyment of human rights on the Internet" at the UN Human Rights >Council, and the resolution "The right to privacy in the digital age" at >the UN General Assembly. > >Mapping the relationship between human rights and internet protocols and >architectures is a new research challenge, which requires the >development of a consistent methodology, bringing human rights experts >together with the community of researchers and developers of Internet >standards and technologies. The Human Rights Protocol Research Group is >a group chartered to research how standards and protocols (the rules by >which the internet functions) can enable, strengthen, or threaten human >rights. > >The rights-enabling characteristics of the Internet will be increasingly >endangered if they are not properly defined, described and protected as >such. And, indeed, the other way around: by not protecting these >characteristics, we risk loss of functionality and connectivity in the >architecture of the internet itself. > >To protect human rights online, it will be necessary to explore and map >the link between rights and protocol, ensuring the survival of a >decentralized and collaborative internet, in which freedom of expression >through unimpeded connectivity remains a central principle, and a >guiding force. > >Conceived in partnership between ARTICLE 19 and Coding Rights, this film >aims to highlight the importance of addressing this issue within the >technical community and human rights advocates, but also to feed into >the work of the Human Rights Protocol Considerations research group >(HRPC) in the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). This group is >currently mapping the relation between human rights and Internet >protocols, in order to strengthen the Internet as a human rights >enabling environment, in which freedom of expression through unimpeded >connectivity remains a central principle and guiding force. > >All the best, > >Niels > >-- >Niels ten Oever >Head of Digital > >Article 19 >www.article19.org > >PGP fingerprint 8D9F C567 BEE4 A431 56C4 > 678B 08B5 A0F2 636D 68E9 > > > > EuroDIG Secretariat http://www.eurodig.org/ mobile +41 79 204 83 87 Skype: Wolf-Ludwig Swiss IGF http://swiss-igf.ch EURALO - ICANN's Regional At-Large Organisation http://euralo.org Profile on LinkedIn http://ch.linkedin.com/in/wolfludwig ____________________________________________________________ You received this message as a subscriber on the list: bestbits(a)lists.bestbits.net.

NMI meeting, Madird 26 February 2016.
by Subrenat, Jean-Jacques March 1, 2016

March 1, 2016

Dear Olivier & Alan, the Inaugural Coordination Council of the NetMundial Initiative (NMI/CC) held a f2f meeting in Madrid on 26th of February 2016, https://www.netmundial.org/blog/secretariat/netmundial-initiative-inaugural… Here are some considerations which might be of interest to EURALO and ALAC members: - The inaugural phase of NMI/CC will be completed by 30th June 2016, after which it will enter its full operational phase (Phase 1). - CGI.br offered to serve as the institutional home of NMI/CC, pending final approval by the Board of CGI.br. The CC accepted this offer. Going forward, other partners will be sought. - The CC is to be replaced by a lighter Multistakeholder structure, and its composition will be open to a public comment period (dates to be announced soon). - The current open request for nominations to the Coordination Council is withdrawn. Once the public consultation is complete, a new nomination process will begin. Best regards, Jean-Jacques.

Fwd: [Secretariat] ACTION: ALL RALOs to Review Questionnaire- Pilot Program document development and drafting.
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond Feb. 26, 2016

Feb. 26, 2016

Dear EURALO members, last week the RALO Secretariats call received news that ICANN was launching a new Pilot Program to help ICANN communities in drafting documents. We received a short survey asking how our community might be interested in using this resource. Please find a copy of the questionnaire attached to this message, with my responses based on the results of the EURALO survey. The first page looks at the general interests of our RALO. The second page looks at the forthcoming Public Consultations that we might be interested in responding to. I have one question: would we be interested in EURALO in responding to the consultation on Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) Variant Top Level Domain (TLD) implementations? I would appreciate a response from people involved in IDNs. We need to submit the response by Friday 26 February close of business day - apologies for the short response time, it is entirely my fault and I'll try to give you more time for review next time. Thanks, Olivier -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Secretariat] ACTION: ALL RALOs to Review Questionnaire- Pilot Program document development and drafting. Date: Sat, 20 Feb 2016 22:49:37 +0000 From: Silvia Vivanco <silvia.vivanco(a)icann.org> To: RALO Secretariats <secretariat(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Dear RALO leaders, I am following up on the discussions of the last RALO Secretariats meeting regarding the new *FY16 ICANN Community Document Development and Drafting Resource Pilot Program Progress Report and Proposed Framework* Kindly review the attached a questionnaire (attached to the email sent by David Olive) about the specific areas where the RALOs may best utilize this new resource. The questionnaire includes queries about the types of services you might utilize. It also lists many of the upcoming public comment opportunities that are currently anticipated by staff so that we can get an idea about the types of forums in which your community might want to be active. Please be so kind to fill one questionnaire per RALO and return to me by next *Friday February 26^th . * This pilot has been included as Agenda item of the RALO Secretariats meeting in Marrakesh.

Feb. 24, 2016

Dear All, We are very pleased to announce the launch of the brand new website of the ICANN At-Large Community, available at: atlarge.icann.org<https://atlarge.icann.org/>! Over the past year, the At-Large Community and ICANN Staff have provided dedicated efforts to create a more engaging website. The goal is to make the site an effective engagement tool and a one-stop shop for finding: * ALAC policy advice<https://atlarge.icann.org/policy-summary> * News<https://atlarge.icann.org/news> * Meetings and Events<https://atlarge.icann.org/calendar> * Activities of the ALAC<https://atlarge.icann.org/alac>, RALOs<https://atlarge.icann.org/ralos> and ALSes<https://atlarge.icann.org/alses>, and * ways to get involved<https://atlarge.icann.org/get-involved> in the At-Large community This community-driven effort has resulted in a big step forward for At-Large with this official release of the new website! Post launch, we expect our website to continue to evolve with new content that can be easily created and updated. Other features that we anticipate to evolve include: * ALS Applications - New submission process for organizations that apply to become ALSes * Translations - Translations for additional static labels and content, public comment information from icann.org, and curated content submitted by the At-Large Community * Accessibility - Continued progress towards WCAG Level AA certification<https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/quickref/>, relabeling of images with alternative text, and KIFs<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/53775155/kif-protocol.pdf?…> * Content Templates - Additional formats for content authoring via the generic content template Please expect to see updates on a bi-weekly basis with light feature releases every quarter. The next update will be in June 2016. The previous old site will be unpublished and archived at legacy-atlarge.icann.org. We hope you enjoy using the new website and find that it has an updated look and easy to access information. We would also like to thank our At-Large Community, especially the At-Large Website Revamp Taskforce<https://atlarge.icann.org/working_groups/website-revamp>, as well as our ICANN IT team and offshore developers who gave their time, energy, and support to make the new website live!
