[Values-ethics] Please review final draft of our Report on Values, Principles and Rights in Internet Governance

[Max Senges]

Hello my dear peers from the values and ethics caucus

As some of you might know, i am working with the IGF's Internet Rights and
Principles Coalition to advocate for a humanistic / human rights based
internet governance regime.

We have just authored a report on values, principles and rights for internet
governance. If you are interested, and would like to give feedback to the
final draft please send me a message.

Also we are holding workshops during the IGF in Egypt in Nov 2009. We are
still looking for speakers who could contribute the values/ethics
perspective. Please tell me if you are interested.

Looking forward to hearing from you
Max
