At the Brazil IGF, yesterday, 12th November, there was a main session on the work of Dynamic Coalitions. The second part of this session would be in the main room at the Brazil IGF today, 13th November at 9 am Joao Pessoa time. Various coalitions have proposals or "ideas" to be rated.
1. All Internet Governance stakeholders including Governments and Internet Governance Organizations could consider Core Internet Values as Reference Standards to be respected while formulating Internet Policy. Do you agree?
2. Technically defined as a “dumb technology”, the Internet is architectured to be neutral, fair to the whole world, without any intelligence, except to faithfully transport information in packets. Do you think this is valuable, and that this value must be preserved ?
3. Internet is architectured to work on various types of devices, regardless of the device type (for e.g. phone, computer, ATM) or device design or their operating systems, so designed to be Inter-operable. Do you agree that it is valuable to preserve the interoperability of the Internet ?
4. The end to end architecture is a design feature that ensures that communication originating from one user (one end) reaches the intended recipient at the other end without any interference, censorship or control. Do you think this end-to-end principle is valuable?
5. Internet Standards are developed by open colloborative processes, where participation is open to everyone. The standards so developed are open for debate, collaboration and improvement. There are other ways by which Internet is a “Open” network. Do you think this is valuable ?
6. The technical values of the Internet have caused the Internet to evolve as an ecosystem that fosters “Permissionless Innovation” Any person or enterprise is not required to get permission or any form of licence from any organization to create a web application or commerical product or any form of innovation on the Internet. Do you consider this valuable and do you think this value must be preserved ?
7. Internet evolved and continues to evolve as a Global Internet. There is one Internet, undivided. Do you consider this valuable ?
8. The Internet Community believes that it is unnecessary to tamper with the architectural design of the Internet unless a drastic and critical need arises to change something. The rule is expressed as “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” Do you think this is valuable ?
