[governance] Internet as a commons/ public good

[Ian Peter]

I like new text as suggested by Parminder as well – but one quibble

“due democratic processes”. That sounds to me like something governments do without consultation.

I would prefer multistakeholder processes. But as that means whatever people want it to mean, and may not be acceptable to everyone. Perhaps something like

“through processes involving all stakeholder groups” might be a middle ground.

  Sorry, saw your email after I sent my amendments to Ian's text. But i think the amendments address all your concerns. We do not elevate design principles to any transcedent moral value but such principles 'should' be derived through due democratic processes. Also they do not automatically get considered as enhancing commons/ public good character of the Internet but 'must' aim at doing so.


Yes I agree, thanks Parminder.
