>> Deadline: COB February 18 <<
At the end of 2014, FOC Working Group 2 (WG2) – “Digital Development and Openness” – reframed its work to focus on digital development and the rule of law. WG2 is now looking for members to join its efforts in contributing to new and arising challenges for promoting the respect for human rights online.
The WG will seek to, in a multistakeholder setting, explore ways to further strengthen rule of law principles and good practices in a way that addresses emerging challenges, respects human rights and maximizes the impact of the Internet for social and economic development.
The Group will consist of up to 15 selected individuals who will join the Working Group Co-chairs – the Swedish Government and the Folke Bernadotte Academy – alongside other FOC country members.
To submit an expression of interest, please send a short motivation letter outlining how your experience and expertise could contribute to shaping the Group’s work and outcomes to info@freedomonlinecoalition.com with a subject line “FOC – WG2 expression of interest_name surname”. The deadline for submissions has been extended to COB on 18th February 2015.
Expressions of interest will be evaluated by WG Co-chairs and the FOC Support Unit, based on the following criteria:
- Quality of submission
- Relevance of experience and expertise
- Regional, gender, and stakeholder balance
Please note that participation in the Working Group is voluntary. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
