Netmundial is a meeting planned to deal with 2 main thematic axes: "Internet Principles" and
"Future evolution of the Internet governance ecosystem".
Internet Principles
The Netmundial meeting aims to identify a set of Universal principles to be promoted as a global
inspiration for the evolution of the Internet worldwide. Those principles should be viewed from
the perspective of the Internet as a platform for social, economic and human development and a
catalyzer of the exercise of human rights of all the people of the world.
Future evolution of the Internet Governance ecosystem
There is a broad view about the need of continue evolving the Multistakeholder Internet
Governance Ecosystem to energize discussion and to achieve greater consensus of the
community including a broader range of stakeholders and provide possible means to develop
solutions to specific problems faced by governments/stakeholders. There are several ongoing
initiatives trying to contribute with that objective. The meeting and related discussions will be an
important milestone in support of developing multistakeholder consensus on important
governance issues that could serve as valuable inputs to other forums. It could seek for more
clarification and pursue agreements for the way forward.

ICANN | Michele Neylon | - the corporation? (as Filiz pointed out, it can be sued and it can also enter into contracts) - ICANN Staff? - ICANN the Community?
|
| ICANN | Ariel Manoff | I believe that the best definition for ICANN is "organization"- This word is
used to designate complex entities that include multiple aspects We can say
an "International Organization". |
| ICANN | Marilyn Cade | ICANN must be the community. NOT staff. NOT Board. Community. |
| ICANN | Ariel Manoff | This is a definition of community
I believe that ICANN includes the government |
| ICANN | Wolf-Ulrich Knoben | I understand ICANN – as its name is saying – being a “corporation” supporting the global community in general and its stakeholders in particular. It is the stakeholders’ operational (or executive?) arm based on board decisions. |
| ICANN | Michele Neylon | Agree with Marilyn |
