A successful IGF for the Bill of Rights
IGF 2007 - Rio de Janeiro
The IGF held last week in Rio marked an outstanding success for the Dynamic Coalition on the Internet Bill of Rights.
During an initial organizational meeting, the Coalition agreed on an ambitious working plan for next year, including work on some initial documents, outreach, scientific activities, and a special look on enforcement.
On the following day, the workshop organized by the Coalition saw great attendance and lots of interest. Several excellent panelists, including the host country’s Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil, shared their views and their support for the campaign. Several voices from the audience exposed suggestions and concerns. In general, there was ample support for the need to put the theme of Internet rights at the core of the activities of the IGF.
