The Internet Steering Committee in Brazil - CGI.br, in its 3rd ordinary 
meeting of 2009 held in NIC.br headquarters in the city of São Paulo, 
has approved the following Resolution:

CGI.br/Res/2009/03/P - PRINCIPLES FOR THE GOVERNANCE AND USE OF THE 
INTERNET IN BRAZIL

Considering the need of support and orientation for its actions and 
decisions according to fundamental principles, the CGI.br decides to 
approve the following Principles for the Internet in Brazil:

1. 	Freedom, privacy and human rights
The use of the Internet must be driven by the principles of freedom of 
expression, individual privacy and the respect for human rights, 
recognizing them as essential to the preservation of a fair and 
democratic society.

2. 	Democratic and collaborative governance
Internet governance must be exercised in a transparent, multilateral and 
democratic manner, with the participation of the various  sectors of 
society, thereby preserving and encouraging its character as a 
collective creation.

3. 	Universality
Internet access must be universal so that it becomes a tool for human 
and social development, thereby contributing to the formation of an 
inclusive and nondiscriminatory society for the benefit of all.

4. 	Diversity
Cultural diversity must be respected and preserved and its expression 
must be stimulated, without the imposition of beliefs, customs or values.


5. 	Innovation
Internet governance must promote the continuous development and 
widespread dissemination of new technologies and models for access and use.

6. 	Network neutrality
Filtering or traffic privileges must meet ethical and technical criteria 
only, excluding any political, commercial, religious and cultural 
factors or any other form of discrimination or preferential treatment.

7. 	Network unaccountability
All action taken against illicit activity on the network must be aimed 
at those directly responsible for such activities, and not at the means 
of access and transport, always upholding the fundamental principles of 
freedom, privacy and the respect for human rights.

8. 	Functionality, security and stability
Network stability, security and overall functionality must be actively 
preserved through the adoption of technical measures that are consistent 
with international standards and encourage the adoption of best practices.

9. 	Standardization and interoperability
The Internet must be based on open standards that facilitate 
interoperability and enable all to participate in its development.

10. 	Legal and regulatory environments
Legal and regulatory environments must preserve the dynamics of the 
Internet as a space for collaboration.
