Welcome to the Invitation & Coordination Page for the

Pre-EuroDig Internet Rights and Principles Workshop & Dinner

When: 13th of September 2009; we plan to start to work around noon and have dinner around 20.00

Where: TBD - we are looking into several options in the center of Geneva at this point

Who: This will be a multi-stakeholder workshop; and while we specifically invite participants from Governments, Private Sector and Civil Socity who we know from their work on Internet Governance, the Workshop is open and we welcome input from new perspectives!

What: The workshop is meant to consolidate the work that we have been doing since the last IGF. That basically means we want to discuss the outcomes of (1) the revision of the Internet Rights Charter and (2) the report "Exploring an ethical approach to internet governance: values, principles and rights".

The result we aim for at this workshop is to really be able to build a _coalition_ around a shared understanding of what we mean by Rigths and Principles (proposed definitions in the report) as well as Human Rights on the internet (defined in the Charter) and how we can move towards our goal of a Human Rights based Internet Governance regime (= the approach outlined in the report).

So here is our proposed agenda:

1. Find consensus for what we mean by Internet Rights and Internet Principles
2. Review the Internet Rights Charter and discuss each item
3. Review our Mission statement in the light of our (new/consensual) understanding of 1 & 2

Please feel free to suggest additional items and discuss the agenda on our mailing list.

We expect something between 10 and 20 people for the workshop, so please RSVP by signing up on this wiki page:
