*Topic:* RightsCon agenda is out: the platform is open

RightsCon has finally published their agenda and we can finally confirm all of our sessions. You can find them on [TIOF] Public Events calendar (https://TIOF.Click/EventsCal)

Quick observations:
• No obvious way to find people (no filters)
• Possible to filter by org name (though we need to know the name)
• It is possible to send a direct message to other participants
• There should be a parallel platform to socialize (still looking into this)
It's going to be complicated to

*Topic:* Coming TechUp

Due to unforeseen circumstances outside of our control (health problems) we are forced to reduce this month's TechUp activities to the bare minimum. We are currently contacting all speakers and project managers to reschedule their sessions for July. We are also finalizing the agenda for July and will publish all details in the coming days.

We would like to apologize for the last minute change. We have attempted to avoid these changes yet we must focus on our team's health and we don't want to run a poorly managed event.

We will still run some sessions such as the UDDR Working Group and the BHR in Tech session on Sunday so you are more than welcome to come join us.

Hope you are safe and sound over there.

*Topic:* Article on newspaper in Spain.

We have started engaging with organizations and relevant individuals in Spain concerning our Data-Centric Digital-Rights advocacy. Just today someone very interested in this subject published an article about Spain's Carta de los Derechos Digitales (Charter of Digital Rights) and we are featured in it.

Original article:

One step further to initiate proper conversations on the importance of technical standards attached to policies related technology to be used by citizens.
