>> For the past three years I have been participating with the OSCE's Media Freedom Office on an Open Journalism initiative, the goal of which is to advise the organization's 57 member states on best practices with regards to digital rights. Over the last year we have focused on the increasing influence of intermediaries. These discussions came to a head in December during our meeting in Vienna, where I presented the Manila Principles at a general session. There was a great deal of interest in helping our work. This morning I received a draft of the communique that the office will present to the 57 member delegations later this month. As you can see the Principles are a part of the draft. As we hammer out a final version, I welcome any input any of you might have.

>> Here are the draft recommendations. Please don't share beyond the members of this list:   
>> 
>> •    Public authorities should protect media freedom and the free dissemination of information in all the facets and areas of the online world. The important presence and role of intermediaries should not endanger the openness, diversity and transparency of Internet content distribution and access.
>> 
>> •    Excessive and disproportionate provisions regarding content takedown and intermediaries’ liability create a clear risk of transferring regulatory powers into private actors and should be avoided. Already existing multi-stakeholder debates and initiatives such as the Manila Principles(1) should be given due consideration in this area.
>> 
>> •    The legitimate need to protect privacy and other human rights should not undermine the prevailing role of freedom of the media and the right to seek, receive and impart information of public interest as a basic condition for democracy and political participation.
>> 
>> •    Making private intermediaries more transparent and accountable is a legitimate aim to be pursued by participating States through appropriate means. However, this must not lead to an excessive control by public authorities over online content. 
>> 
>> •    Decisions addressed to intermediaries establishing restrictions or ordering the takedown of Internet content should be adopted according to the law, through a fair process and with full respect to the principles of necessity, proportionality and judicial review.
