Yup....

"The Internet’s success is largely due to its unique model
The Internet model:
• Shared global ownership without central control
• Collaborative engagement models (involves researchers, business,  
civil society, academia, governments)
• Development based on open standards (which are also openly  
developed, with participation based on knowledge rather than formal  
membership)
• Key principles (such as the “end-to-end principle”)
• An open, bottom-up, freely accessible, public, multi-stakeholder  
processes for both technology and policy development "
