[governance] Your definition of "Open Internet"

[Mehrzad Azghandi]

Hello Friends, Arsene,

Thank you to raise this important thread on "Open Internet"

Here I am not going to repeat our colleagues' perfect answers; a list of
important concepts from equal opportunity  to accessibility or free flow of
information and so on; which all of these have been our continuous
challenges for years.

In my view, technically, "Open Internet" as like as "Internet" itself,
needs to continue its bottom-up procedure and it would not come true just
by asking it from governments and giant companies; as it has been wrongly
followed for years by IG initiatives:  Trying to convince Governments and
Giant Companies to do something they don't like to!, when we have less
power and authority to enforce them.

I think this approach doesn't work anymore and IGs should find another way;
any technical approach instead of this political one, I mean!

Featuring the situation, "Open Internet" as like as Freedom, is not an
environment without any wall ! When walls are humankind heritage for
millions and they exist in our minds and consequently in our new Internet
world !  So we have to work on doors!  We should work on an environment
full of doors and these doors will be always open for anybody who knows the
way to pass or  prefers to close them for his/her own privacy, safety and
efficiency!

We should technically work on doors and keys, not to break the walls!

Any individual in internet should be able and free to dominate his/her
environment in passing or closing the doors, and this capability and
knowledge of domination is vital part of open Internet and freedom.

The global internet policy should be technically inclined to provide any
required utilities and facilities for people to dominate their own
environment, accessing information, increasing their knowledge, applying
their opportunity at their best efficiency, anywhere they live or anywhere
they go; free of their geography and international borders.

The last word: Increase the number of doors and leave the keys to the
owners!

Regards
