Code of good practice on information, participation and transparency in Internet governance
The Council of Europe, UNECE and APC have been reviewing the arrangements for information and participation in entities concerned with Internet governance since the second meeting of the Internet Governance Forum in 2007. The aim of the CoE/UNECE/APC project is to consider whether there is scope for developing a code of good practice on transparency, information and participation in Internet governance. Such a code, if developed, could build on existing Internet governance experience and the principles concerning Internet governance which were adopted at the World Summit on the Information Society.
Project background
This project was initiated by UNECE, the CoE and APC, taking forward a trilateral initiative that has been developed since the first IGF in Athens. [add text]
