Description of how the proposer plan to facilitate discussion amongst speakers, audience members and remote participants The panel aims to explore the advantages and disadvantages of adopting different strategies to keep intermediaries accountable to human rights. For such a purpose the duration of the session will be divided into three moments. In the first one each panelist will present a certain initiative for not longer than five minutes. Right after that we will invite the audience and the remote participants to ask questions about the initiatives that have been presented. In the third moment of the workshop we will foster comparison between the initiatives, exploring their peculiarities and impacts through questions raised by the audience and by the moderator. |
Description of the proposer's plans for remote participation There is no plan to have a remote panelist at this time, but the workshop will foster remote participation by reaching out to all stakeholders involved in the initiatives that will be presented and commented on during the session. |
