>>> Network neutrality has been an important architectural principle for

>>> Internet becomes the mainstream communication platform for almost all
>>> business and social activities. The IGC proposes a main session with the
>>> focus of Network Neutrality - Ensuring Openness in All Layers of the
>>> Internet. This main session should examine the implications of this
>>> principle, and its possible evolutionary interpretations for Internet policy
>>> in different areas. Issues about the openness of the Internet architecture
>>> are increasingly manifest in all layers of the Internet today.
>>>  
>>> 2.
>>> A Development Agenda for Internet Governance Development is a key f ocus of
>>> the Tunis Agenda and its mandate for the IGF. But while development has been
>>> posed as a cross-cutting theme of IGF meetings, they have not featured a
>>> broadly inclusive and probing dialogue on what Internet Governance for
>>> Development (IG4D) might mean in conceptual and operational terms. To
>>> address this gap, the IGC previously has advocated a main session on A
>>> Development Agenda for Internet Governance, and some its members have
>>> organized workshops or produced position papers elaborating different
>>> visions of what such an agenda could entail. In light of the related
>>> discussions during the Sharm el Sheikh cycle, we renew our call for a main
>>> session on this theme. The dialogue at Vilnius could, inter alia, identify
>>> the linkages between Internet governance mechanisms and development, and
>>> consider options for mainstreaming development considerations into IGF
>>> discussions and Internet governance processes, as appropriate. We also
>>> continue to support the Swiss government's pr oposal to consider
>>> establishing a multi-stakeholder Working Group that could develop
>>> recommendations to the IGF on a development agenda.
>>>  
>>> 3.
>>> Internet governance has up to this time largely been founded in technical
>>> principles and, increasingly, on the Internet¹s functionality as a giant
>>> global marketplace. With the Internet becoming increasingly central to many
>>> social and political institutions, we are of the view that a consideration
>>> of 'internet rights and principles' can provide the basis for a more
>>> comprehensive conceptual framework for IG.
>>>  
>>>  
>>> In Sharm El Sheikh, specific 3-hour workshops on the two themes of a
>>> development agenda and Net Neutrality were organized, which represents a
>>> certain degree of maturity of these themes within the IGF context. These
>>> successful and productive sessions should be build upon in 2010.
>>>  
>>> The Dynamic Coalition on Internet Rights and Principles has done dynamic and
>>> productive work on the issue of IRP, highlighting the concept of Dynamic
>>> Coalitions and laying the groundwork to address this issue as part of the
>>> Vilnius agenda.
>>>  
>>> Thank you very much.
>>> Best,
