I like new text as suggested by Parminder as well – but one quibble
“due democratic processes”. That sounds to me like something governments do

I would prefer multistakeholder processes. But as that means whatever people
want it to mean, and may not be acceptable to everyone. Perhaps something
like
“through processes involving all stakeholder groups” might be a middle
ground.
What about "through democratic processes involving all stakeholder groups".

I would be ok with that if we included:

what about "democratic processes, that are open and transparent, and

Wasn't it you Parminder who put in the "due democratic processes"
language in the first place? Perhaps I am misremembering.
I'm still choking on the new reality bit however.
MM is correct in that "success of the internet rests on a creative
combination of both", so we should include end-toendiness somehow.
