The Internet is shaping our societies but who is shaping the development
of the Internet? And what standards should this development be based on?

The  Internet  of  Rights Fellowship  Program aims  to  facilitate
stronger  considerations  for  human  rights  within Internet governance
processes  and to shape the human rights  agenda for the Internet.
Currently, there is little diversity among participants in Internet
governance proce sses, resulting in approaches to policymaking that are
not open or inclusive. ARTICLE 19 seeks to effectively promote and
protect key democratic values and increase  the diversity  of engagement
 within  Internet  governance  forums,  so  that  there  is  a  greater
pluralism  of  voices within these spaces that especially includes those
that have been underrepresented until now.

Over  the  course  of  this  program,  Fellows  will  be  introduced  to
 the  technical  and  policy  discussions across  the  Internet
governance landscape, and will be trained to meaningfully develop human
rights considerations within  these discussions. As a result, Fellows
will be well-equipped to continue developing a robust approach to human
rights within these technical communities beyond the life of the program.

The structure of the work will be very much based on training and
mentoring while actively engaging in on-going Internet governance
processes in the IEEE, ICANN, IETF and ITU. Work with us on concrete
workstreams, or suggest your own project!
