Subject: [hrpc] UN Special Rapporteur asks for input on standards bodies for new report
To: "hr...@irtf.org" <hr...@irtf.org>


Dear all,

The UN Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression David Kaye, who also
spoke at the hrpc session at IETF96 in Berlin [0], already produced two
report, one on 'encryption and anonymity' [1] and one on 'The role of
the private sector in the digital age [2].

Now he intend to write a report on: 'freedom of expression and the
telecommunications and Internet access sector'. [3]
For this he is asking for input from business enterprises [4] as well as
NGOs and other stakeholders [5].

I think there is one question in which you all might be especially
interested, and that is the last question mentioned under [5]:

[QUOTE]
 Please share information concerning the role of relevant standards and
Internet governance bodies in protecting and promoting freedom of
expression, and how that role may be improved.
[/QUOTE]

The deadline for the submissions is November. Details can be found under
the aforementioned links.

You can also find examples of submissions under link [1] and [2] to see
what submissions to the previous reports look like. It is not
necessarily a lot of work and I think the UN Special Rapporteur in
specific and the UN and the UN Human Rights Council at large could
greatly benefit from input from the technical community.

Best,

Niels

這名言論自由權利特別報告員還蠻積極的，上任剛好二年整，已進行多國訪問與發表了三份獨立報告
有興趣者可關注  ＠davidakaye  https://freedex.org/

反觀另一位去年六月任命的隱私權特別報告員， 嗯，似乎比較走神隱路線XD

今天讀這份報告時，忽然想起了去年有人曾把相關訊息丟到這個群組來。

這個報告幾週前已經出來了，David Kaye 向第35屆人權理事常會作報告的時間是6月12日

他的角色、報告和時間點應該在十個月後來看，應該是愈來越重要了。現在每週都會在公開網路上看到美商在亞太地區「被迫」根據當地法令做出內容刪除的舉措，這包括台灣這邊最熟悉的 Google 和 Facebook 等。
