Managed by Canadian Journalists for Free Expression, IFEX harnesses the power of the Internet to rapidly exchange information and mobilise action on issues such as press freedom, Internet censorship, freedom of information legislation, criminal defamation and insult laws, media concentration and attacks on journalists, writers, human rights defenders and Internet users. A Clearing House in Toronto, Canada coordinates the programmes and activities of IFEX.

The membership of IFEX encompasses a broad array of organisations that work to defend journalists and media personnel, academics, photographers and camera operators, writers, cyber-dissidents, publishers, cartoonists, community radio stations and libraries.

Members include:

AMARC
ARTICLE 19
Committee to Protect Journalists
Ethiopian Free Press Journalists' Association
Freedom House
Hong Kong Journalists Association
Human Rights Watch
Index on Censorship
IFLA
International Federation of Journalists
International PEN
International Press Institute
PEN American Center
Reporters Without Borders
Society of Professional Journalists

IFEX is an important source of information for many intergovernmental bodies that monitor freedom of expression and other human rights, including the United Nations, Council of Europe, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, European Union, Organization of American States, African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights and Commonwealth of Nations.

History

In 1992, several funding and development organizations recognized the need for more cooperation among freedom of expression groups by providing start-up support for IFEX. The Ford Foundation provided funding to hold the first IFEX meeting in Montreal, Canada. The Joyce Mertz-Gilmore Foundation of New York supported the establishment of the IFEX Action Alert Network. UNESCO provided support through its International Programme for the Development of Communication (IPDC), which helped to extend IFEX's links with the developing world and promote IFEX through its own network.

Action Alert Network

One of the central components of IFEX is the Action Alert Network (AAN). Member organizations report freedom of expression abuses in their geographic region or area of expertise to the Clearing House which, in turn, circulates this information to other members and interested organisations all over the world. This efficient system enables members to stay abreast of their counterparts' activities, share information and research, and focus their energies where it is most needed.

Popular Telephony, IFEX NV and M-Planet Announce a Field Test of Peerio-Based Serverless VoIP Business System
From Business Wire, 3/7/05

SOPHIA ANTIPOLIS, France & SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Popular Telephony, the pioneer of serverless communications, and IFEX NV, a pan-European investment banking operation, today announced that IFEX, with the support of their telecom and VoIP consulting partner M-PLANET, will conduct an enterprise field trial of Peerio serverless telephony technology in their offices in Sophia-Antipolis (France), Amsterdam and London.

This represents the first serverless communications enterprise field trial to be conducted and announced in Europe and will test the implementation of server-free peer-to-peer business telephony system comprised solely of IP phones powered by Peerio serverless middleware.

"We're pleased to partner with IFEX NV and M-Planet for the first field testing of a Peerio enterprise serverless telephony system, the most advanced communications system available on the market today," said Sandra Mandine, the Director of European Marketing in Popular Telephony. "Field trials like this will enable Popular Telephony to prepare the solution for the commercial deployment during this year. We also are grateful to Atonics, a Peerio partner company, for the support provided for this trial."

The Peerio-enabled devices installed at the IFEX premises will fully interface with the existing telephone equipment and operate seamlessly, as if being served by IP PBX. On-site personnel will have access to a variety of popular PBX features, using the system for the internal interconnect over LAN, global IP interconnect over the WAN using Peerio GNUP and for the PSTN interconnect via the Peerio-enabled network media gateway.

"We are very excited to launch this trial of Popular Telephony's Peerio technology," said Alain Andre, IFEX Manager. "Peerio appears to be an innovative solution that enables us to reduce communication costs and to develop new advanced applications for our business. In additional to the serverless operability benefits, we anticipate the Peerio-based system's ability to be really simple to set up and transparent for use, providing us with all the professional services, without the costs normally associated with them."

"As telecommunications consultants we have to stay at the leading edge of the communications technologies being developed in order to provide the best expertise to our clients. We looking forward to exploring Peerio for the enterprise with IFEX and other clients," said Julien Van Quackebeke, the Marketing Manager of M-PLANET, the IT consulting company to IFEX.
