or maybe

    We recognise the Internet to be an emergent and emerging reality. As
    a global network of networks, it is an its intricate combination of
    hardware, software, protocols, human intentionality and a new kind
    of social spatiality, brought together by a common set of design
    principles, and constrained by policies established by due
    democratic processes. We consider the Internet as a global commons
    and a global public good. The design principles and policies that
    constitute its governance should, therefore, flow from such
    recognition of the Internet as a commons and public good.
