While I think this is a nice idea in itself, I wouldn't like to garble the
human rights with such specific rules - to be accepted, the human rights
must be almost universal. The right to push anything into the "cyberspace"
(e.g. UCE) is, by many standards, neither universal nor nearly acceptable
(in the western world for example), nor is it general enough (what makes
the internet so special? What about telephone networks? Fido?).
But it's a refreshing non-icann discussion ;)
