Over 40 participants at the Foro Social de las Americas in Guatemala joined a dozen activists at New York's Brecht Forum for the first bi-continental on-line workshop in the Forum's history: writing a ten point document of Internet rights for the Hemisphere's peoples.

The event was sponsored and coordinated by May First/People Link.

At a workshop sponsored by May First/People Link about 40 activists got together for an exercise in what we called "collaborative democracy". Here's a description of the process written by Co-Director Jamie McClelland and myself.

The workshop centered around a collaborative and democratic process of writing a Declaration of Rights for Internet participants.
