[Dcpr] IGF Dynamic Coalition on Platform Responsibility

[N. Zingales]

Dear colleagues,

as you might know, the inaugural meeting of the Dynamic Coalition will take place at the IGF 2014 in Istanbul. The Secretariat has assigned us a 90 minute slot from 14:30 to 16:00, on Thursday, September 4th. 

This email is to officially invite you to join the meeting, which will be an opportunity to get to know each other, attract new members and take stock of the existing initiatives related to platform responsibility. For those of you who are not able to attend in person, please note that the session will be broadcasted, and remote participation will be permitted.

The meeting will be introduced by two keynotes, highlighting the state of play of the platform responsibility debate and triggering an open debate amongst the DC PR members and the attendees.
The opening keynotes will be delivered by:
•	Mr Jan Kleijssen, Director, Information Society and Action against Crime, Directorate General of Human Rights and Rule of Law, Council of Europe
•	Ms Rebecca MacKinnon, Director of the Ranking Digital Rights project at New America Foundation

Subsequently, we will engage in an open discussion to identify the key elements that will distinguish the work of the DC PR from existing initiatives on platform responsibility, and to jointly delineate a DC PR roadmap. Therefore, this meeting should be considered as a “Birds of a feather session” allowing all interested individuals to jointly plan the future works of the DC PR.  
The DC PR roadmap will be instrumental to plan the future activities of the DC PR members aimed at the elaboration of model contractual provisions, which will provide a reference for effective protection of specific human rights through online platforms’ terms of service.

All the attendees will be encouraged to actively participate to the debate, providing their inputs to the definition of the DC PR roadmap.

The discussion will be co-moderated by:
Mr Luca Belli, Council of Europe & Université Paris 2
Mr Nicolo Zingales, Tilburg University & CTS/ FGV Rio
Ms Primavera De Filippi CNRS & Berkman Center for Internet and Society (remote moderator)

We hope to see as many of you as possible!

Best wishes,
Luca, Nicolo and Primavera
