Rights
Organization's Founding Principles Focused on an Open and Accessible
Internet for All
[Dakar, Senegal - 25 October 2011] - The Internet Society today announced
that its Board of Trustees, during its meeting held 22 - 23 October 2011
in
Dakar, Senegal, addressed human rights issues related to Internet access.
The organization has been a long-time advocate of an open, global, and
accessible Internet, and views the Internet as an enabler for the
realization of a wide range of human rights.
The Internet Society views the Internet as an essential vehicle for
promoting freedom of opinion and expression, including "freedom to hold
opinions without interference and to seek, receive, and impart information
and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers," as enshrined in
Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The Internet Society Board noted that in 2011, in what has become known as
'Arab Spring,' the Internet gave voice to people's aspirations. "The
Internet played a vital role in generating awareness of and support for the
efforts of those seeking to bring about change," said Raul Echeberria,
Chairman of the
Internet Society's Board of Trustees. "The Internet shaped a
new generation who are connected to the world and who are global citizens,
unconstrained by borders, time, and distance."
The Board also noted that the same technology that benefits billions of
people throughout the world has also raised some challenges. Among them, it
was observed that certain governments control their citizen's access and use
of the global network in order to meet economic, security, or political
objectives in an evolving policy landscape. For example, DNS blocking and
filtering are among the measures used by some to block access to websites.
Other measures used include surveillance technology or suspension of
Internet access.
The Internet Society Board cautioned against resorting to technological
shortcuts to achieve public policy objectives, as such actions can threaten
the good functioning of the global Internet as a single,
unified, and global
communications network. While the Board recognized that governments have
the responsibility to guarantee law and order for their citizens, it held
the view that the right to freedom of expression should also be guaranteed.
"The Internet Society has always been focused on Internet freedom, which is
the very embodiment of freedom of expression," added Echeberria. "These
actions by some governments to limit access to the Internet are sometimes
without due regard to the impact on an individual's ability to exercise
their fundamental human rights, and include attempts to control social
networks. This can be seen as an infringement of the right to peaceful
assembly, as guaranteed by Article 20 of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights."
"Limitations to the exercise of human rights should be the exception and not
the rule, a principle which applies both to the online and offline
world,"
stated Internet Society President and CEO Lynn St. Amour. "Any restrictions
should respect due process and the provisions outlined in international
human rights law, such as necessity and proportionality."
The open, decentralized, and global nature of the Internet provides a
foundation for unprecedented growth in freedom of expression and access to
information and knowledge. "The increasing pressure to limit access to the
Internet has escalated the sense of urgency in addressing this situation,"
added St. Amour. "We will continue our efforts in this important policy area
and work to bring attention to the impact of Internet freedom on other
aspects of human rights."

Addresses Programs Dedicated to an Open and Universally Accessible Internet
for the Benefit of People around the Globe
[DAKAR, SENEGAL - 24 October 2011] - The Internet Society today announced
that its Board of Trustees held its 90th meeting on 22 - 23 October 2011 in
Dakar, Senegal. During the meeting, the Board reviewed and approved the
organization's three-year business plan that includes a wide range of
programs in support of its mission to promote the open development,
evolution,
and use of the Internet for the benefit of all people throughout
the world.
While the world population rapidly approaches 7 billion, approximately 2
billion people have access to the Internet. Internet penetration in many
developing countries hovers well below 5%. Compared to other regions of the
world, Africa has the lowest percent of Internet users to total population;
however it is one of the fastest-growing regions for Internet penetration
and usage.
"Dakar is a fitting venue for our Board meeting. The Internet Society has a
vibrant community in Africa, with 21 active Chapters and more than 9,000
members," said Lynn St. Amour, Internet Society President and CEO. "Since
its inception in 1992, the Internet Society has been dedicated to a
ubiquitous, reliable, and sustainable Internet that is equal in all
countries, and where the developing world is on a par with the rest of
the
world."
With a global membership that spans nearly every country around the world,
the Internet Society engages in a broad array of enabling activities to
expand access to and participation in the Internet. Internet Society
programs include offering hands-on technical training, organizing
conferences on topical Internet issues, supporting local and regional
Internet organizations, issuing briefings and white papers on Internet
technologies, and funding participation opportunities for Internet experts
in developing countries.
The Internet can transform lives, and spur economic growth, development,
innovation, knowledge dispersion, and essential services in developing
countries and around the world. Raul Echeberria, Chairman of the Internet
Society's Board of Trustees commented, "Developing countries are critical to
the future of the Internet. The next frontier for Internet growth
lies
substantially in emerging markets, and our Board of Trustees are highly
supportive of the broad array of impressive and enabling activities underway
at the Internet Society to expand access to and participation in the
Internet."
The Internet Society has long been dedicated to supporting the deployment of
the next generation of Internet protocol, IPv6. The deployment of IPv6 is
critical, as the world's Internet-using population is already reaching the
capacity of the current version, IPv4, and some regions have already had to
introduce austerity measures for allocating IPv4 addresses. Earlier this
year, the Internet Society organized World IPv6 Day, which demonstrated that
major websites around the world are well-positioned for a global
IPv6-enabled Internet, allowing for its continued exponential growth. It is
imperative that network operators across the globe understand that there is
no
future in IPv4, and now is the time to deploy IPv6.
