Abstract Internet
governance processes and decisions should be open and inclusive, bottom-up
and consensus-based in their approach. All stakeholders from all regions of
the world should be given equal opportunity to participate. Technical
design decisions should be weighed against societal implications of the
technology so as to minimize erosion of individual freedom and liberties.

Contribution

The Internet Governance Caucus (IGC) wishes to thank the organizers of the
NETMundial meeting, for the invitation to contribute to its proceedings
through a written submission ahead of the meeting. At this point in time,
the IGC is hereby submitting the following statement of a few fundamental
principles to guide Internet governance processes and decisions.



1- Internet governance institutions and processes should be open and
inclusive. They should be bottom-up and consensus-based in their approach
to policy development.  Internet governance institutions and processes
should be transparent, accountable, and enable the meaningful participation
of all stakeholders.



2- All Internet governance decision making processes must ensure the
inclusion of not just all stakeholders but also all regions of the world in
an equitable manner. As a result, a special effort must be engaged in order
to provide the Less Developed Countries with an equitable share of
resources to participate in activities related to worldwide internet
governance.



3- Any decision to evolve the internet governance institutional field and
mechanisms as well as any new structure evolving from the current
configuration of the implementation of the IANA functions and the role of
US Government and of the other incumbents in that regard, must reflect the
effective inclusion of all regions of the world with a view to ensuring a
truly global cultural diversity in approaches to technical and policy
problems.



4- The technical community working on core protocols and technical
standards of the Internet should seek a broad understanding of the societal
implications of their design decisions and carefully weigh the advantages
of the technological capabilities they are enabling against their potential
adverse effects on individual users' freedom and liberties. This should be
done with a view to minimizing outcomes that continuously erode said
freedom and liberties, leaving the Internet user vulnerable to all sorts of
abuse.





5 - Namely, whether it is by virtue of technical design or by policy
provisions, on-line users must enjoy the same human rights as they are
entitled to off-line.

6- There must not be discrimination in access and contents due to criteria
such as opinion, religion, race, gender, geography, language, or economic
resources.

7- Services offered in the internet must remain equitable and neutral among
service providers, without taking unfair advantage of a dominant or
privileged position.

8- Internet availability, deployment, and service conditions must benefit
all segments of the human society, not just those enjoying richer economic
development.
