São Paulo, April 17th, 2014 – NETmundial – The Global Multistakeholder Meeting on the Future of Internet Governance – has released for public consultation the outcome document that will guide the discussions among the representatives of different sectors, from more than 80 countries, next week. The document is available at https://document., making use of an innovative tool to receive comments and external reviews. These contributions will be considered and will enrich the discussions at the event.
The 188 content contributions that were the basis for the elaboration of the document were submitted by representatives of civil society, the private sector, academy and the global technical community, totaling 46 countries. “The Internet is a collective construction and its governance process must also be built that way,” says Virgilio Almeida, President of NETmundial, reinforcing the multistakeholder proposal of the meeting.
The NETmundial reference document is divided in two sections, which represent the main goals that the meeting aims to discuss: 1) Internet governance principles, and 2) Roadmap for the future evolution of the Internet governance. Each section is divided into topics that should be addressed during the discussions:
