Hello All, I will be leading a working session at the upcoming RightsCon [ http://sched.co/6QMU ] where we will be identifying, evaluating, sorting and publicly sharing information sources for tracking human rights, Internet freedom, and digital security intelligence and incidents around the world. I am doing this because I believe that in order for human rights defenders and advocates to maintain their agility they need access to the wealth of data, analysis, and intelligence that is created throughout our community. But, much of this knowledge is trapped in a opaque collection of websites, reports, mailing lists, and wikis that are rarely shared widely enough to ensure that they can be found when needed.
In order for this to be successfully we will need to source as many resources as possible ahead of time. If you have organizations, mailing lists, websites, wikis, news feeds, data sets, etc. that you use to get up to date information or analysis about human rights & Internet freedom issues and incidents you can add your resource to the list using this form. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/14ozKT6yFk8JIWhm-pzZDe5qzOmxxt2XPP4Z7yaB6_c8/viewform?c=0&w=1 The raw results of this form are open so anyone can see what has been added. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13ooTL2jB6BOQEWiLkcf6rC678TgOjY7VkzelfsiQC-4 Better information sharing reduces the ongoing costs of duplicating research and supports more informed advocacy across our issues. So, submit resources in any language and at all levels of granularity. If you work for an organization that does analysis, add your organization. If you subscribe to a public mailing list that tracks human rights or Internet freedom policies in your region, add that mailing list. If you have found insight from the public reports by some obscure government or industry working group, add that as well. We can't predict what obscure resource may hold the valuable insight that an ally needs to effectively conduct their work. Also, if you want to help catalog resources come to the working session at Rights Con Silicone Valley on Thursday, March 31 between 5:15pm - 6:15pm. - http://sched.co/6QMU Best, s2e -- seamus tuohy | Sr. Technologist & Risk Advisor - Internet Initiatives [email protected] Skype/XMPP on request PGP: 36AC 272E B7CF EDD5 F907 E488 B619 3EC7 3CF0 7AA7 INTERNEWS | Local Voices.
