The Coalition has been in existence since 2008, and has adopted the following aims (taken from early Coalition documents): <br><br>"The
objective of the dynamic coalition on 'Core Internet Values’ is to
debate and find answers to fundamental questions such as “What is the
Internet? What makes it what it is? What are its architectural
principles? What are the core principles and values? And what is
happening to the core values in the process of its evolution? What is it
that needs to be preserved and what changes are inevitable? The
coalition would seek answers and define the Core Internet Principles and
Values. "<br><br>"The Internet model is open, transparent, and
collaborative and relies on processes and products that are
local, bottom-up, and accessible to users around the world. These
principles and values are threatened when policy makers propose to
regulate and control the Internet, with inadequate understanding of the
core values. What is it that must be preserved in the process of policy
making by legislators who seek to regulate the Internet and in the
process of design changes by the Business sector in pursuit of business
friendly models? What does the Internet Community say as what can't be
changed? How could changes and improvements be brought about without
compromising on the core values? How would the different positions
between stakeholders be reconciled to commit to the core Internet
values?" <br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(51,51,51)">On
the theme of Core Internet Values, the first was a workshop with the
title "Workshop on Fundamentals: Core Internet Values" chaired by the
Internet Society President Lynn St.Amour at IGF Egypt followed by three
Annual meetings during the IGFs with the fourth IGF meeting to be held
during IGF Bali.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(51,51,51)"><a href="http://coreinternetvalues.org">http://coreinternetvalues.org</a><br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(51,51,51)">
