I would be ok with that if we included:

"through open, bottom-up, transparent, participatory democratic
processes involving all stakeholders".

Wasn't it you Parminder who put in the "due democratic processes"
language in the first place? Perhaps I am misremembering.

I'm still choking on the new reality bit however.

MM is correct in that "success of the  internet rests on a creative
combination of both", so we should include end-toendiness somehow.
