Hi Nigel,
Many thanks for your input on the ICANN event. On the Ministerial, among
the objectives we will be pursuing, these could be those more connected
with the ICANN topics of interest:
- On Internet Governance. Internet governance structures should reflect
democratic values and be transparent and publicly accountable to
users. Global Internet policymaking should involve equal participation
of all people, countries, and stakeholders. We call upon the OECD
member states to support the Internet Governance Forum and to promote
the multi-stakeholder process of the World Summit on the Information
Society.
- On Open Standards and Net Neutrality. Standards-making processes
should be open and should encourage competition. This promotes
innovation and development. We support the procurement policies that
promote open standards, open data formats, and free and open
software. We further recommend that the OECD Member Countries oppose
discrimination by network providers against particular applications,
devices, or content and preserve the Internet's role in fostering
innovation, economic growth, and democratic communication.
