Global ICT Governance

In an information and communication society, good governance must be based 
on the values of participation, inclusiveness, transparency and 
accountability.  This particularly implies the democratic management of 
international bodies dealing with ICTs. Given the borderless 
characteristics of ICTs, decision-making bodies should respect the 
principles of democracy and openness as well as sovereignty.

In particular, the management of the core resources of the Internet, that 
are the Internet protocols, standards and identifiers such as domain names 
and IP addresses, must serve the public interest at the global, national 
and local levels. Furthermore, any decision made on protocols and standards 
should be compatible with international human rights standards articulated 
in the International Bill of Rights (i.e. the Universal Declaration of 
Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; and 
the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights), and 
specially the rights to freedom of expression, to privacy, and the 
principle of non-discrimination. Such decisions should also allow for a 
better-balanced flow of information.

To these ends, the current management of Internet names and numbers and 
other related mechanisms should be re-examined with the full participation 
of all stakeholders in light of serving public interests and compatibility 
with human rights standards.
