[WSIS CS-Plenary] Dialogue Forum on Internet rights, and call for contributions

[Vittorio Bertola]

All,

As anticipated in the past, the Italian government is organizing an
international meeting on the theme of rights and duties of Internet
users, entitled "Dialogue Forum on Internet rights". The conference will
be held in Rome on 27 September 2007, and will be open to any interested
stakeholder. I encourage participants from civil society to attend.

More information can be found at

and the draft agenda at

http://www.innovazionepa.it/dfir/pdf/Draft_agenda_270707.pdf

The organizers would like to encourage the submission of short written
contributions that will then be summarized and introduced to the
audience during the conference. Such contributions should focus on the
two issues raised by the IGF Dynamic Coalition on the Internet Bill of
Rights as working items for this year, and specifically:

     * Which are the appropriate forms and instruments to implement and
better define human rights and duties in the Internet environment?
     * What areas and types of rights and duties, relevant to the
Information Society, should be part of this work and of its results?

Contributions should be submitted by September 20 through the conference
web site. The contributions, as well as the results of the conference,
will also be used as preparatory material for the workshop that the
Dynamic Coalition will hold at the second IGF in Rio de Janeiro.

Please feel free to forward this message to any interested parties or lists.

Regards,
