Dear all,

I am emailing to follow up on collaboration around the UPR of Canada, taking
place in April.

Last October APC made a joint submission on internet-related human rights
issues in partnership with CIPPIC and OpenMedia.ca, endorsed by
Alternatives, Web Networks, TeleCommunities Canada, and several individuals
(submission is attached).

APC has been working with the Centre for Law and Democracy, which led a
joint submission on similar issues, to develop questions and recommendations
that will be sent both to the Government of Canada, and to the Geneva
missions of other States, in the hopes of having our issues picked up at the
review.

Attached is a draft document that includes questions/recommendations on
access to information, freedom of expression, freedom of association and
women's rights. We would very much appreciate your input and feedback on
this document, as well as an indication of your interest (as an
organization, or personally) to endorse.

If you know of other organizations and/or individuals not copied in the
email that may be interested in participating in this advocacy, please
contact me.

Thanks for your attention.

Best wishes,

Shawna
