Beyond NETmundial: The Roadmap for Institutional Improvements to the Global Internet Governance Ecosystem Abstract Beyond NETmundial: The Roadmap for Institutional Improvements to the Global Internet Governance Ecosystem explores options for the implementation of a key section of the “NETmundial Multistakeholder Statement” that was adopted at the Global Meeting on the Future of Internet Governance (NETmundial) held on April 23rd and 24th 2014 in São Paulo, Brazil. The Roadmap section of the statement concisely sets out a series of proposed enhancements to existing mechanisms for global internet governance, as well as suggestions of possible new initiatives that the global community may wish to consider. The sixteen chapters by leading practitioners and scholars are grouped into six sections: The NETmundial Meeting; Strengthening the Internet Governance Forum; Filling the Gaps; Improving ICANN; Broader Analytical Perspectives; and Moving Forward.

  • The Future of Wikimedia and Why New Zealand Museums Should Pay Attention
    The Future of Wikimedia and Why New Zealand Museums Should Pay Attention Susan Tolich On the 21st of May it was announced that Mike Dickison will be assuming the position as Aotearoa’s frst Wikipedia-at-large. Tis new role will entail several placements at GLAM institutions around the country where Dickison will act as a ‘Wikipedian in Residence.’ Tis position does not involve editing Wikipedia on behalf of the organisations but focuses on training staf in how to contribute and engage with all parts of Wikimedia and its editing community. Wikipedia is just one of the projects run by the non-proft Wikimedia Foundation; others include Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. Troughout his career Dickison has had years of experience advocating for Wikipedia to be used in the GLAM sector and has hosted various events to improve the representation of New Zealand endemic species and female scientists on the site.1 While Dickson is the frst Wikipedian-at-large in New Zealand he is part of a much larger global movement which works towards creating a freely accessed ‘sum of all knowledge.’ Wikimedians have partnered with GLAM institutions around the world since 2010 with the mission of ‘connecting audiences to open knowledge, ideas and creativity on a global scale.’2 Other Wikipedian-in-residence projects have ranged from creating documentary photography of Carpathian folk lore, to upskilling librarians in the Ivory Coast to be able to promote their heritage using Wikimedia platforms. It was eforts such as these that also delivered Te Metropolitan Museum 1 Mike Dickison, “New Zealand Wikimedian at large,” Giant Flightless Bird (Blog), 21 May 2018, http://www.giantfightlessbirds.com/2018/05/new-zealand-wikipedian-at-large/ 2 Katherine Maher and Loic Tallon, “Wikimedia and the Met: a shared digital vision,” Medium, 20 April 2018, https://medium.com/freely-sharing-the-sum-of-all-knowledge/wikimedia-and -the-met-a-shared-digital-vision-f91b59eab2e9.

  • Case No. 21184/01/16 State Attorney of Israel V. Breaking the Silence
    Case No. 21184/01/16 State Attorney of Israel v. Breaking the Silence Brief of Amici Curiae Prof. Eva Brems Anthony Lester, QC Gilbert Marcus, SC Prof. Monroe Price Prof. Andrey Rikhter Prof. Herman Schwartz Prof. Yuval Shany Prof. Dirk Voorhoof Prepared with the assistance of the Open Society Justice Initiative 1. As experts in the field of international law on freedom of expression and comparative media law, we provide this submission to assist the Petah Tikva Magistrates’ Court in its deliberations on the State Attorney’s request for a warrant for the production of documentation held by Breaking the Silence (BtS). The submission provides an overview of international law and standards relevant to the issue, as well as legal precedents established at the domestic level in other democracies. 2. This brief was drafted by the Open Society Justice Initiative. We have requested Michael Sfard, attorney for BtS, to file the brief with the Court. 3. This submission addresses two issues: A. The right to protect sources extends to non-governmental organizations such as BtS. It is well-established in international law that media workers and outlets enjoy a right to protect their sources of information, subject only to narrow exceptions. This right derives from the right to freedom of expression. The practice of international courts and mechanisms, although limited, indicates that the right to protect sources is not limited to traditional journalists and media, and can also be invoked by other social communicators, notably non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that gather and publish information of public interest. A number of precedents established at the domestic level in other democracies lend further support to this view.

Even if this is a mission that can’t be finished, Wikipedia has made remarkable progress toward the impossible. How so? Wikipedia is an encyclopedia built on a wiki. And never has an application (gathering the sum of human knowledge) been so suited to its medium (easily interconnected web pages). Encyclopedias have long been reliant on interconnections. In 1755, the Encyclopédie’s Denis Diderot wrote that the use of cross-references (or renvois) was “the most important part of our encyclopedia scheme.”1 This feature allowed the Encyclopédie’s editors to depict the connective tissue of Enlightenment knowledge and to dodge state and church authorities by way of facetious and satirical references. For example, they linked to articles on the Christian rite of communion, wherein “the body and blood of Christ” is consumed, from the article on “Cannibals.” At the onset of each new informational medium—from paper, to microfilm, to silicon—connectivity was the impetus. Among the documentalists of the early twentieth century, there was Wilhelm Ostwald’s Brücke, a bridge, and Suzanne Briet’s indice, an indicator. Such documentalists advanced indexing and classification schemes to improve interconnections between information. Then, on the cusp of the digital age, Vannevar Bush famously wrote of the power of an electromechanical memex laced with “associative trails.”2 This inspired the hyperlinks of the 1960s and the URLs of the 1990s.

  • The Constitution of a Nation, State by State
    books in print The Constitution of a Nation, State by State Although the United States has one Constitution, the laws of that docu- ment are viewed differently depending not only on the people interpreting it but the places from which they come. Would, for example, Abraham Lincoln have felt so strongly that secession was unconstitutional—that the Union preceded and superseded the States— if his geographical background were different? In his book of essays The Law of the Land, Sterling Professor of Law Akhil Reed Amar ’84 writes, “… consider how the world looked to Lincoln in 1861. His forebears came from several states—Kentucky, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and possibly New England as well…. He himself had lived in three states, having been born in Kentucky and having moved to Indiana at age seven and then on to Illinois as a young man. He and his family were first and foremost not Virginians, or Pennsylvanians, or New Englanders, or Kentuckian or Hoosiers or even Illinoisians. They were Americans.” The essays in The Law of the Land discuss the difference that states make on American jurisprudence. Each state has its own laws and culture, and these geographic and regional differences have impacted the nation throughout history. Amar’s writing gives a view of the historical roots of, and contemporary solutions to, many important constitu- tional questions. The three sections of the book focus on constitutional interpreters, constitutional cases, and constitutional provisions and principles. Each of the twelve essays in the book looks at a different state. In Florida, Amar breaks down the Bush v.
