Toute la technologie et la diversité culturelle sur lesquelles s'appuient Internet doivent s'accompagner du respect de droits inaliénables.
Conscients de nos devoirs et de l'importance de la défense sur Internet de nos droits et libertés que traités, conventions et déclarations consacrent déjà, et pour nous prémunir de toutes atteintes à ceux-ci,

Dear Mr Engström,
My name is Simon Schmitt, from the French Pirate Party. I’m the supervisor of a project named “Déclaration des droits des Internautes” (The Declaration of the Internet Rights).
We started this project in May 2009 on the French PP forum and have been since discussing thoroughly every article. We have come to an end with these internal discussions in France only recently, in fact about a month ago and are now starting to exchange on this project with all the French speaking PPs.
Our text has gone through 3 different versions before reaching the “final” one. Every article was first discussed separately and then the text in its whole was thoroughly studied in its whole and discussed again to control its coherence.
Since the 16th of October, the text has been opened to all French PPs and to PPs who belong to a French-speaking community (obviously for a matter of understanding). We have been in touch with the concerned PPs and a delegate was selected by each group to take part to the debate.
We held a meeting with all delegates last week to discuss the next steps to be taken to enlarge the debate. We have considered that the first priority should be given to necessary internal changes for a new and more efficient organization of the text. At this stage, our will is to find a better order for the articles. This could take 1 or 2 months. The basic idea would be to have internal discussions within each PPs’group, the results of which would be gathered and debated by the delegates before being submitted to the International Community.
An enlargement of the debate being our further goal: after the reorganization of the articles and a translation in many languages by our polyglot French speakers, the final step in view is the participation of all PPs whatever their mother language.
You have recently written a text on your blog dealing with the DIR subject and explaining your ideas for a project closely akin to ours. Thus our international affairs supervisor for the French PP (Laurent “cwicket” Le Bernerais) got in touch with you by mail to explain our own project and he attached a “google translation” (sic) of the version we are still working on (sorry we had no translator ready at hand !). Your answer to this e-mail was an advice to post it on your blog.
We would like to bring your attention to the fact that we are now working on a rather completed version of this text and really hope that you will be interested by the work we’ve done and our approach. We would greatly appreciate to have the opportunity to exchange with you on this subject and hear your suggestions and even criticisms on our text. You can contact me any time for more information.
Hoping to hear from you soon,
Best regards
Simon Schmitt
