There is sort of a working group for this already, as the IG Principles
you speak of are one of the output documents planned to be opened for
signature at the Best Bits meeting http://igf-online.net/bestbits. 
Wolfgang had reconfirmed that he would take the lead in developing it
through an online working group, though he has been quite busy so the
work hasn't progressed far.

Meanwhile there has been some discussion on the Best Bits list on
whether or not this statement of principles should be merged with the
other planned output from Best Bits, which is a statement to WCIT about
the ITU's role in Internet governance (if you have a view on that,
please feel free to express it either here or on the Best Bits list).

This isn't intended to steal any of the IGC's thunder, but rather to
grease the wheels a bit so that the opportunity doesn't slip.  Whilst
Best Bits isn't officially under the IGC, it is full of IGC members, so
please feel free to regard the working group as already formed if this
helps. :-)  It makes sense for everyone who is interested to work together.
