[Dcpr] IGF Dynamic Coalition on Platform Responsibility

[Jorge Morell Ramos]

Hi there!

Sorry for being a little late to the party, :P but these last months have
been kind of crazy busy.

For starters, let me introduce myself.

My name is Jorge Morell Ramos <http://about.me/jorgemorellramos> and I’m a
jurist in Spain specialized in Internet Law.

For the last 2 years I’ve been analyzing, explaining, comparing, tracking,
geolocalizing or organizing terms and conditions. Through my website Términos
y Condiciones <http://terminosycondiciones.es/> (in Spanish) I have been
working on clarifying in layman terms documents that are written in
anything but simple terms.

Always trying to find a way to make the information more accessible and
less complicated. these last 2 years I've been doing things like a weekly
bulletin <http://terminosycondiciones.es/category/boletin/> where I track
the changes happening almost every day (here you have the results from 2013
<http://terminosycondiciones.es/2014/01/08/quien-cambio-mas-sus-terminos-y-condiciones-en-2013/>),
a map <http://terminosycondiciones.es/mapa/> where I geolocalize the
services according to where they say that they store the personal data or a
"search engine <http://terminosycondiciones.es/edad/>" to make easier to
know which age of consent is required by the services.

Terms and conditions is a subject in which I’m very interested because the
time needed for an average adult to read them or the complexity of the the
language that they use are questions that need an important rethinking,
especially taking into account its consequences, and a project like DCPR
could help quite a bit in that.

About the questions asked, unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to
attend the IGF meeting in Istanbul, but I'll be watching from the distance
:D

Relative to relevant material to incorporate to the web, I would recommend
the discussion paper
<http://ec.europa.eu/justice/contract/files/expert_groups/modification_contracts_en.pdf>
released by the EU Commission about unilateral modification of terms,
within the expert group on cloud computing contracts
<http://fringelaw.com/unilateral-modification-of-terms-cloud-computing/>.

Looking forward to work with you, guys!

Best wishes,
Jorge.
