technical topics that impinge on the political realm: things like the
use of encryption to protect personal privacy (especially from the
prying eyes of Isaac and Justin), the Internet as a technology that
routes around censorship as damage, and the simple human right to be
*left alone* by government bureaucrats and other such busybodies if one
is going about one's business in a peaceful manner.

Concrete example:

Would a presentation on how tor was used to bypass state controls on news during the recent election protests in Iran be acceptable under the terms of the agreement?

That would sound like a perfectly appropriate and timely plenary presentation. And it seems to me to violate the plain language of the agreement concerning "human rights".
