statement I am proposing on behalf of IGC, based on members' contributions so
far. I have added a sixth principle (which could be #3 --amplifying aspects of
#2 -- or # 6 as per below). Please feel free to propose edits, not to change the
substance unless it is your intent in which case we would appreciate some
explaining, but to make the formulation as crispy as possible if you can.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif">IGC STATEMENT</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif">The Internet
Governance Caucus wishes to thank the organizers of the NETMundial meeting, for
the invitation to contribute to its proceedings through a written submission
ahead of the meeting. At this point in time, the IGC is hereby submitting the
following statement of a few fundamental principles to guide any Internet
governance processes and decisions in the future. </DIV>
<DIV class=im style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif">
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1 - On-line users must enjoy the same human rights as they do
off-line.<BR><BR>2- There must not be discrimination in access and contents due
to criteria such as opinion, religion, race, gender, geography, language, or
economic resources.<BR><BR>3- Services offered in the internet must remain
equitable and neutral among service providers, without taking unfair advantage
of a dominant or privileged position.<BR><BR>4- Internet availability,
deployment, and service conditions must benefit all segments of the human
society, not just those enjoying richer economic development.<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV>5- A special effort must be engaged in order to provide the Less Developed
Countries with an equitable share of resources to participate in activities
related to worldwide internet governance. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif">6- All decision
making processes must ensure the inclusion of not just all stakeholders but also
all regions of the world in an equitable manner. Particularly, any decision to
evolve the internet governance institutional field and mechanisms as well as any
new structure evolving from the current configuration of the implementation of
the IANA functions and the role of USG and the other incumbents in that regard,
must reflect the inclusion of all regions of the world with a view to ensuring a
truly global cultural diversity in approaches to technical and policy problems.
