regarding negative effects of information society. Especially we pick

communication rights.

issues from context of social divide regarding migrants, workers
rights to communicate in workplace, the unemployed and homeless
people, women in domestic violences and other minority groups issues.
As for another topic, we intend to discuss about possibility of civil
society and civil liberty independent from national interests and
commercialization. For example, we will pick up the issues of ID card
and monitoring of population which are arising serious debates in
several countries in Asia. Also we will discuss regarding censorship,
contents regulation and national security against civil liberty.
