I tend to think of the Internet as an emergent, and emerging, reality consisting of hardware, protocols and software, and human intentionality brought together by a common set of design principles and constrained by policies fashioned by the stakeholders.

I beleive  "no government interference" is an inaccurate representation of what I wish for.  I wish for "no government control,"  I also wish for government participation as equal/equivalent stakeholders in Internet governance.  I am sure that would be considered government interference by some. And would be considered "no government interference" by others.
