Proposal announcement of a European Internet Governance Forum by Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, head of the Forum des droits sur l'internet ( more on the Strasbourg meeting later ) 12 September 2007. Opening of discussions on the mailing list. 03 September 2007. The formal announcement ( speech ) of the group formation was made by its founding president : Louis Pouzin, during the IGF Open Consultations on Monday 3 September 2007, at the Palais des Nations, in Geneva.
Within the overall framework of the implementation of the recommendations of the
World Summit on the Information Society, it appears that
political and ethical standards demand the formation of a Civil Society working group.
The "Civil Society" must be
clarified as a group of people sharing such core values as openness,
which is increasingly dominated by the technico-industrial complex
that manages critical internet resources.
