AW: [governance] RE: PINGO

["Kleinwächter, Wolfgang"]

Hi Erik,

yes, I think that RFC compliance falls into the "Open Standards" para. of the NeMundial document (Principle 8). But as you know, RFCs are not legally binding. Everybody can disregard RFC Standards (and to build an alternative root) but it is in the self-interests of the provider and user of services to follow RFCs to be "as interoperable as possible". So the checks and baalances are within the system, not in external oversight bodies. And yes it would make sense if MEPs understand the RFC culture. It could be a source of inspiration how to innovate rule making in the Internet Age.

Best wishes and thanks for your mail.

Dear Mr Kleinwächter,

Thanks for the instructions in your article's last paragraph on how to use the NETmundial text! :-)

I wonder if RFC-compliance would fall within its OPEN STANDARDS paragraph?

<quote>
OPEN STANDARDS
Internet governance should promote open standards, informed by individual and collective expertise and decisions made by rough consensus, that allow for a global, interoperable, resilient, stable, decentralized, secure, and interconnected network, available to all. Standards must be consistent with human rights and allow development and innovation.
</quote>

If so, would it be advisable to use the NETmundial statement to inform public bodies like the European Parliament about RFC-compliance? As the EP is providing email for us who work here, you could maybe argue that it contributes to a widely used social network platform on the internet and therefore, to some extent, contributes to "internet governance"?

Grateful for advice.

I ask because we're working on connecting the dots (as far as those dots exist):

Best regards.

Hi,

here is my view how to deal with the section on Internet Principles of the NetMundial Sai Paulo Declaration.
