LAC IGF 2013 Communications Strategy

LAC IGF 2013 Communications Strategy
Córdoba, Argentina, August 27-29, 2013
Contacts: Flavia Fascendini [email protected] (on-site), Mallory Knodel [email protected] (off-site).
The Sixth Regional Preparatory Meeting for the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) to be held in August
27-29, 2013, in Córdoba, Argentina.
APC's messaging at the LAC IGF
Three key messages:
–
–
Promote a rights-based approach to internet governance: “The same rights that people have
offline must also be protected online.”
–
Topical: Governments and corporations are restricting internet access in different ways.
Universal, fair, open and affordable access to the internet demands a rights-based approach
to internet governance.
–
Topical: Mass surveillance by governments and increasing limitations to human rights
online (right to privacy) is being exacerbated by IP law. Promote transparency and
accountability for all stakeholders in internet governance, in order to protect and promote
human rights.
Promote multistakeholder participation, particularly the role of civil society organisations.
–
–
Promote enhanced cooperation in internet governance.
Praise effective responses and prevention of tech-related VAW as a prerequisite for good
governance and the full access and realisation of internet rights.
–
Topical: Hate speech. Threatening someone with rape is violence, not free speech. Promote
nuanced discussions that disrupts the notion that responding to tech-related violence against
women and sexual rights activists conflicts with calls for free speech.
Content production

articles and interviews. All APC staff and APC members on-site and off-site are invited to participate in
Spanish, English, and French.
