Dear all,
I have checked the document that Marika shared with comments from many of us and incorporated the last ones made on this thread. I hope the attached document serves to structure
a preamble (as Erika suggested) in a way that reflects the spirit of the CCWG discussions, and our intent for the auction proceeds funds to make a difference.
Warm regards,
Sylvia

Subject: Re: [Ccwg-auctionproceeds] For your review - updated version open internet definition / description
HI Erika and others,
I like Daniel's summary of Open Internet but we need to also address the issue of accessibility. If you recall Elliott suggested the following
An Internet that is equally accessible to all people for all purposes, and at every level of the stack. At the lower end of the stack, that means no impediments are placed
based on the sender, recipient, content, application or type of data being transmitted.
If we could add the concept of accessibility to your definition I think that would greatly help
I also like Sylvia Cadena's text and hope we can figure out a way to add this to our definition.
That means no impediments are placed based on the sender, recipient, content, application or type of data being transmitted.
That means policy and regulation promote, support, facilitate and guarantee access
That means equality of access at a pragmatic level is ensured by assuring access at prices affordable to all members of society
That means training is available about how to manage, operate and how to use the Internet, as well as education in how to use it effectively
That means participation on an equal footing at all levels is encouraged, specially by those that might be discriminated against
Best,
Judith

Opening Telecom & Technology Opportunities Worldwide

How about this for a start.

The concept of “Open Internet”, as referred to in the CCWG objectives statement, can be described at many levels, e.g. technogical, business, political, etc, and in particular, at the societal level:
An Open Internet is one where all people are empowered to contribute and to participate in building a worldwide culture that opens our hearts and minds by respecting differences. It is an Internet (i.e. a network of networks) that we, the people of the world,
recognize as ours — something we have built together for one another
At the technogical level, openness refers to how easily machines can connect to each others and how stable, scalable, and secure the network is. The IP routing and numbering systems, the DNS, or the Open Standard process, have historically been serving an Open
Internet because of the opportunities they have provided to participate, innovate and compete without artificial impediments (e.g. patents, walled-garden).
At the policy level, supporting the Open Internet happens when for instance governments put in place regulations that promote, support, facilitate and guarantee equal connectivity at prices affordable to all members of society, together with education and training
efforts toward making the next generation more Internet savvy.
In an ideal world, an Open Internet is one where no control or impediments are placed based on the sender, recipient, content, application or type of data being transmitted.
From that broad description, the CCWG has considered the parts of the Open Internet that:
- are aligned with the overall ICANN's mission and core commitments
- are in need of funding for more development support
- are creating value-added for the Open Internet at large
- are consensual enough so that they do not endanger the ICANN community
...

Dear All,
Hereby attached the updated version of the open internet definition /
description which incorporates the comments and suggestions that were
submitted since the last version. As there are a number of definitions
/ descriptions that have been put forward so far, are there any
volunteers who would like to take a stab at coming up with a draft
that brings the different perspectives together and addresses the
different comments and contributions to date which the CCWG could
review during its next meeting?
Best regards,
Marika
