Recommendations of the German IGF-D for the NETMundial Meeting

The following messages and recommendations resulted from the briefing and

NETmundial conference held at the German IGF preparatory meeting:

PP1 Acknowledging the reinforcement of the multistakeholder model as a
manifestation of democracy and the governance principle on internet issues;

PP2 Noting the importance of addressing technical aspects since
infrastructure has a crucial role to enable and warrant human rights online;

PP3 Endorsing the emphasis of the German government delegation on privacy
issues as one of the human rights being at stake in the current digital
landscape;

PP4 Recalling that mass surveillance was one of the motives leading to the
