===''Internet Freedom & Open Government: An International Conversation''===
  +
SOPA. PIPA. ACTA. These four-letter acronyms dominated the headlines as thousands of people around the world protested for the right to a free and open internet. Meanwhile, a report by Freedom House, an American NGO, ranked Estonia as the country with the highest level of Internet freedom, and Estonia also ranks on the top of global lists of open and transparent governments. How did Estonia end up on top? What is the status of internet freedom around the world? What are the practices of e-governance that can foster a transparent, inclusive relationship between citizens and governments? Where does the US stand on these issues, and how do congressional measures, such as the OPEN Act, affect internet freedom in the US?
   
  +
Join Wikimedia District of Columbia, the Washington European Society, and the Estonian Embassy for a discussion on Internet Freedom & Open Government, featuring Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform; Chairman Marko Mihkelson, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Estonian Parliament; and Rebecca MacKinnon, Bernard L. Schwartz senior fellow at the New America Foundation. The discussion will be moderated by Adam Kushner, Deputy Editor of the ''National Journal''.
Join us for a social meetup and dinner at Guapo's. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet other Wikimedia DC members and to discuss upcoming Wikimedia DC activities and events!
