Hi all - Thank you for all the feedback. I've consolidated it into the following revised
recommendations. I think we are pretty close on agreement for 1-8. I tried to stay with
the originals when we could, thus I did not change #8 to add "the Internet"
because I felt it still made sense as a standalone without it. Let me know if you
strongly disagree, or if you strongly prefer an alternative for #'s 9 and 10, where we
had several alternate suggestions.
#1 - The Internet is integral to modern life: education, communication,
collaboration, business, entertainment and society.
#2 - original - The Internet is a global public resource that must remain open
and accessible.
#3 - original - The Internet should enrich the lives of individual human beings.
#4 - Security and privacy on the Internet are fundamental and must not be
treated as optional.
#5 - Individuals must have the ability to shape the Internet and their own
experiences on it.
#6 - As a public resource, the Internet depends on interoperability, innovation
and decentralized participation worldwide.
#7 - original - Free and open source software promotes the development of the
Internet as a public resource.
#8 - original - Transparent community-based processes promote participation,
accountability, and trust.
#9 - A balance between commercial profit and public benefit is critical to the
development of the Internet.
#10 - original - Magnifying the public benefit aspects of the Internet is an
important goal, worthy of time, attention and commitment.
The word "aspects" in #10 serves no purpose that I can see and the
principle would be stronger without it.
Principle #9 is a tricky one to articulate. For me, tt is awkward and
unsatisfying in the original and also in this revision. I suspect that
it could be fixed but we allowed ourselves to stray farther from the
original wording. But then, of course, we'd have to argue among
ourselves about whether we deviated from the meaning of the original. I
can live with #9 as it stands, but would be happy to continue working on
it if anyone else still wants to.
