[NA-Discuss] [At-Large] input to WSIS+20 comments sought

[Vanda Scartezini]

Hi Marita
With the main  principles under the internet neutrality and other rules like Human Rights, we came so far with a huge development. So big that it became our society itself with all good and bad things.
Do we have intention to reduce freedom of expression, internet neutrality in exchange of anything?  From my view I don’t.
Like in our physical society, good changes take time - this is a learning curve, we are in the beginning of the process, like the initial points of civilization and to change the basic principles always led to disasters…
I will defend building over the main principles and making “baby steps” for new rules, with the prerogative to go back if the rules shown not expected results.
Lots of kisses
 Going to airport to get my plane to Cancun. Safe trip and see you there.

Subject: [At-Large] input to WSIS+20 comments sought

Colleagues, I will have 3 minutes in the WSIS+20 public forum on Wednesday to address the following question from an enduser perspective --

How does your community explain what are the essentials to protect the global internet and to formulate a long-term vision that works for politicians. *Note that WSIS+20 is a UN process which is multilateral -- so working with political allies would be essential.

Background: WSIS2003 (World Summit on the Information Society) was an intergovernmental conference where other groups had access and observer status which was a step forward at the time. It established a working group on internet governance (WGIG) which was multistakeholder and which developed the following definition --

"Internet governance is the development and application by governments, the private sector and civil society, in their respective roles, of shared principles, norms, rules, decision-making procedures and programmes that shape the evolution and use of the Internet." This led to the establishment of the Internet Governance Forum (2006)

How would we see this definition evolving and what kinds of resources are needed to realize that goal?

I would welcome any input.

Marita
