<br>
The UN Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression David Kaye, who also<br>
spoke at the hrpc session at IETF96 in Berlin [0], already produced two<br>
report, one on 'encryption and anonymity' [1] and one on 'The role of<br>
the private sector in the digital age [2].<br>
<br>
Now he intend to write a report on: 'freedom of expression and the<br>
telecommunications and Internet access sector'. [3]<br>
For this he is asking for input from business enterprises [4] as well as<br>
NGOs and other stakeholders [5].<br>
<br>
I think there is one question in which you all might be especially<br>
interested, and that is the last question mentioned under [5]:<br>
<br>
[QUOTE]<br>
Please share information concerning the role of relevant standards and<br>
Internet governance bodies in protecting and promoting freedom of<br>
expression, and how that role may be improved.<br>
[/QUOTE]<br>
<br>
The deadline for the submissions is November. Details can be found under<br>
the aforementioned links.<br>
<br>
You can also find examples of submissions under link [1] and [2] to see<br>
what submissions to the previous reports look like. It is not<br>
necessarily a lot of work and I think the UN Special Rapporteur in<br>
specific and the UN and the UN Human Rights Council at large could<br>
greatly benefit from input from the technical community.<br>
