Hi bill and all,

Below are my comments sent to Karen. Since we have not had time to
discuss it on the Caucus list, I've not send them on behalf of the
Caucus but just as me. However, I have included most of your
suggestions, Bill.

Best

Hi karen

Not sure if this is latest version below, but here are my comments: 

"1. We are pleased to see the recognition of the imperative of upholding
universally agreed human rights and data protection in relation to
measures to address security and the investigation of crimes committed
online. 

>I would separate HR and Data protection, since they are not the same,
or >preferably replace "data protection" with "the right to privacy".
Data >protection is also more narrow than "the right to privacy". 

12.. However, we feel that the report could have been strengthened by
addressing human rights as a cross-cutting principle
> replace w "addressing human rights as cross-cutting standards"

, with particular reference to Article 19 in relation to the development
and application of shared principles, norms, rules, decision-making
procedures, and programmes that shape the evolution and use of the
Internet. Measures  taken must not violate rights to freedom of
expression, including press freedom online, in conformity with Article
19" of the UDHR and nothing in Internet governance negotiations must
impair, restrict, or contradict these rights. "

> problem: there is no clear differentiation between
>the need to adhere to UDHR principles in general and Article 19 in
>particular. Would be good to more clearly articulate both points.
>Furthermore, a number of other HRs are also relevant to mention, not
least >article 12 (privacy), art. 20 (assembly), art. 27 (enjoy own
culture), art >28 (implementation and enforcement).
