AS per OECD, the governments of its Member countries and other
stakeholders have created a new framework to promote a more transparent, open
Internet at a two-day meeting in Paris.
The new principles, agreed by
OECD member governments, business representatives and technical experts, aim to
advance the debate on Internet governance. They underline the benefits that
today’s light-touch, flexible regulation has brought in driving innovation and
economic growth.
Meeting at the OECD in Paris, participants underlined
the need to maintain the open, decentralised design of the Internet. This model,
which includes governments, business, civil society and the technical community
in a so-called multi-stakeholder approach, has been key to the Internet’s rapid
growth and impact.
