We co-submitted a proposal with many of the community-run networks
around the world. One-sentence and link:

This yet-to-be-named coalition unites representatives from community
wireless networks and Internet freedom groups around the world to
create venues for cross-cultural collaboration and legal defense in
support of the humanitarian right to communicate free from
interference.

We ( The Calyx Institute ) submitted a proposal to build a network of
XMPP servers that by default force people to use TLS/SSL and OTR and to
allow people to connect via Tor hidden services.  We also propose to
modify XMPP clients to do TLS/SSL and OTR by default.  In addition we
would train individuals and organizations to run their own such servers.

Citizen Lab submitted the following proposal

Safeguarding the Fourth Estate: Teaching digital security and privacy to 
journalists

Although the work of journalists is essential to the public interest, the 
widespread adoption of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has 
both enabled and endangered journalistic practices. While the ability to 
digitally communicate with sources and colleagues is easier than ever there are 
a growing number of ways to compromise these communications.This project will 
strengthen the capacity of journalists to conduct their work with greater 
appreciation for privacy and security of ICTs. It will create knowledge and 
resources for digital security training, increasing awareness of digital 
privacy and ways to secure it. Finally it will promote uptake of these 
resources to further the education of the next generation of journalists.

We (Benetech/Martus) submitted secureApp Generator: Secure mobile
apps for everyone, designed to offer easy, usable and strong
encryption to those interested in mobile data collection.

It will enable journalists, NGOs and individuals to easily create a
custom version of the write-only Mobile Martus documentation app.
Those creating the app will choose the settings (e.g. identify who
receives the reports from mobile app users; define which server will
be used; design the data collection/reporting template; define whether
the app will require Tor for sending; etc.) so that those using the
app will have to configure nothing--just install the app and begin
documenting. A human rights NGO or news publication could distribute
this app to their network of trusted reporters or field workers; an
organization might publish their custom app on their website or on
F-Droid and encourage anyone to download the app and securely send a
report to them.

Advox submitted the following proposal:

*Threatened Voices: Tracking victims of online repression*

Threatened Voices (TV) is a unique collaborative mapping project by Global
Voices Advocacy to build a database of online people who are threatened,
arrested or killed for speaking out online and to draw attention to
campaigns that highlight their cause. We are building a database that is of
use for international advocacy. We are collaborating with Amnesty, CPJ,
UNESCO, Media Legal Defense Initia, and other international and local
partners. We are also building a methodology that meshes with other human
rights reporting standards. This project aspires to become a reliable
resource on the violation of the right to freedom of expression online that
can be used by researchers, advocates and activists internationally.

We hope we can count on the support of this community. We truly believe
that if successful, this can become a powerful tool for activists and
researchers alike.

Cheers,
Hisham
