Net Mundial Initiative: Get involved!

Net Mundial is a global initiative for international governance of the Internet. It promotes continuous broad-based involvement of stakeholders from across the world to “energize a global movement towards a distributed Internet governance ecosystem to propel the Internet as a shared, neutral, and global resource for human solidarity and economic progress”.

At the Global Multistakeholder Meeting on the Future of Internet Governance (San Paulo, Brasil, 23-24 April 2014), 1.480 stakeholders with active voices (including remote participation) from a diversity of 97 nations contributed to the definition of the NETmundial Multistakeholder Statement that deploys the NetMundial Principles for Internet Governance.

The aim was to identify a set of common principles and important values that contribute for an inclusive, multistakeholder, effective, legitimate, and evolving Internet governance framework and to recognise that the Internet is a global resource which should be managed in the public interest.

The global Internet community is invited to contribute proposals or ideas to introduce and build dynamic coalitions and to develop enablers/solutions for distributed Internet governance.
