offtopic: CALL FOR APPLICATIONS - Internet of Rights Fellowship - ARTICLE 19
by Juan Manuel Rojas Feb. 24, 2017

Feb. 24, 2017

Dear Members,This could be interesting for some of you. All information, below: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------CALL FOR APPLICATIONS - Internet of Rights Fellowship - ARTICLE 19 The Internet is shaping our societies but who is shaping the development of the Internet? And what standards should this development be based on? The Internet of Rights Fellowship Program aims to facilitate stronger considerations for human rights within Internet governance processes and to shape the human rights agenda for the Internet. Currently, there is little diversity among participants in Internet governance proce sses, resulting in approaches to policymaking that are not open or inclusive. ARTICLE 19 seeks to effectively promote and protect key democratic values and increase the diversity of engagement within Internet governance forums, so that there is a greater pluralism of voices within these spaces that especially includes those that have been underrepresented until now. Over the course of this program, Fellows will be introduced to the technical and policy discussions across the Internet governance landscape, and will be trained to meaningfully develop human rights considerations within these discussions. As a result, Fellows will be well-equipped to continue developing a robust approach to human rights within these technical communities beyond the life of the program. The structure of the work will be very much based on training and mentoring while actively engaging in on-going Internet governance processes in the IEEE, ICANN, IETF and ITU. Work with us on concrete workstreams, or suggest your own project! More information about the programme, the streams and the application process can be found here: https://www.article19.org/pages/en/article-19-fellowships.html Length of the programme: 1 year (with the possibility of 1 year extension) Start: May 2017 Deadline for application: March 17 2017 Which forums are focused on: IEEE, ICANN, IETF, ITU Non-salaried (but travel to IG fora, accommodation and other costs are covered) If you have any questions, please feel free to contact mehwish(a)article19.org or me.

ICANN Discussion of U.S. Executive Order restricting the travel of Foreign Nationals
by Sam Lanfranco Feb. 14, 2017

Feb. 14, 2017

NCSG & NPOC Colleagues, In today's NCSG discussion with ICANN CEO Goran Marby a question was raised about the impact of the U.S. Executive Order of the travel freedom of Foreign (non-US) nationals on ICANN. I would like to add the below as food for thought. This is the third sector research group I have worked with for more than a decade. This is their brief statement: Sam Lanfranco, NCSG/NPOC/ISTR http://www.istr.org/news/330758/ISTR-Statement-on-Freedom-for-Academic-Exch… ISTR Statement on Freedom for Academic Exchange Research associations, through their membership meetings, provide forums in which participants exercise their freedom of scholarly expression and debate. The International Society for Third Sector Research (ISTR), made up of over 900 members from over 74 countries around the world, regularly convenes to exchange knowledge and advance research on civil society, nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations, and philanthropy. Our expertise and insights are built upon freedom of expression, association and travel. Our nations and communities are richer and stronger because individuals have had assured rights to travel, to meet, to speak and to publish, and to freely exchange knowledge and ideas. The protection and exercise of these rights have been essential building blocks of healthy and democratic civil societies. As citizens as well as scholars of many countries around the globe, we are alarmed and deeply disturbed by the Executive Order issued on January 27, 2017, entitled, “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States.” We respectfully call upon the administration to rescind this order. These travel restrictions exclude global scholars from academic forums in our field and curtails our freedom of scholarly expression. In addition, the targeted exclusion of scholars from particular countries will negatively impact and seriously hamper the advancement of knowledge and the resulting policies and practices flowing from this knowledge in these areas of study. As members of the board of directors of ISTR, and as scholars of civil society, we issue this statement to express our alarm and deep concern, particularly at a time when global democratic exchange is of utmost importance. Our concern is for all of our colleagues who are prevented from engaging in peaceful democratic discussion. We thus call upon our colleagues, institutions, and governments to support democratic freedoms and scholarly exchange. Steven Rathgeb Smith, ISTR President Ruth Phillips, ISTR President-Elect Annette Zimmer, ISTR Past President Margery B. Daniels, ISTR Executive Director
