12:50 to 2:00 Working Lunch: Collaborative Drafting of the Citizens Charter for
Cyberspace (sponsored by VCXC)
In 1215, a few noblemen drafted the Magna Carta. In 1620, a few fleeing
Englishmen drafted the Mayflower Compact. In 1776, a few well-educated
revolutionaries drafted the Declaration of Independence. In 1787, elected
representatives drafted US Constitution. In 1996, one person, John Perry Barlow,
drafted A Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace. Today, we harness our
collective experience, knowledge, wisdom, and judgment to collaborate on a
Citizens Charter for Cyberspace. We will discuss and collaborate and hone in on
the principles and language for such a Charter, and the creation of a living,
breathing document for the next phase in human and planetary relations.
