Session
Participants will be more informed about current transparency gaps across the telecom industry, particularly with respect to network shutdowns and net neutrality. They will also learn how civil society organizations have adapted Ranking Digital Rights' open methodology to evaluate telcos' human rights commitments, policies and practices. Participants will also be encouraged to share their own experiences and knowledge, in order to identify potential action points and cross-collaboration connecting CSOs in different countries that are facing similar challenges.
