[npoc-voice] Fwd: [Internet Policy] Human Rights Council Internethumanrightsresolution
Hi all NPOCers ! I've found this thread on ISoc mailing list very interesting for our constitutency and forwading it to you. I think that we are namely called to act here; What do you think at policy level ? Let's start acting ... Cheers ! -Olévié- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nick Ashton-Hart <nashton@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2014 17:57:37 +0200 Subject: Re: [Internet Policy] Human Rights Council Internethumanrightsresolution To: Wolfgang Kleinwächter <wolfgang.kleinwaechter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: internetpolicy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx You are welcome. I have two suggestions. 1) NGOs should provide a proposed text to be included in the resolution - there is still plenty of time in the next 10-days or so to do so, and after all, even a paragraph would be an improvement 2) Those NGOs who are members of CONGO should speak up within it to ask for CONGO to be more active. It has a Secretariat, after all. 3) Those NGOs from the Internet space who are going to the annual meeting this September could speak up in fora like this one and ask for contributions and thoughts and take them to the meeting.
