[CCWG-ACCT] Internet Principles by ICANN in Strategic Plan

[Rahul Sharma]

Hi Seun and Barrack,

Thank you for your inputs. When I said Internet Principles, I meant
principles such as promoting open architecture, protection of
intermediaries, preserving human rights, IG process principles, promoting
open standards, privacy, diversity, security and stability etc..

Please refer set of Internet principles endorsed by NETMundial:
https://www.netmundial.org/principles

These are over-arching principles, that go beyond technical standards
adopted by IETF.  In this context, I again post my questions:


   1. Should a body like ICANN define and adopt Internet Principles it
   believes in, for its policy, strategy and operations?

   2. Are group members aware whether decision of endorsement of NETmundial
   principles is through a public consultation process involving community or
   an internal ICANN decision unknown to community? Is this a matter that this
   group working on ICANN Accountability should discuss?


Regards,
Rahul Sharma
