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!
