IT for Change in partnership with Information Network for the Third Sector (RITS)- Brazil, Internet Governance Project – USA, Panos Institute, West Africa – CIPACO project, China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) –China, Alfa Redi - Peru and The International Disability Caucus is organising a Dynamic Coalition on ‘Framework of Principles for the Internet’ at UN- IGF 2007 .

The Dynamic Coalition seeks to understand, influence and contribute to the processes of making international laws, conventions, treaties etc in the area of Internet Governance – both of the soft law and hard law varieties – incorporating the multi-stakeholder principle.

For this purpose, the coalition also seeks the explore the possibility of civil society taking the lead in collaboratively developing some overall normative principles for the Internet which can underpin such international processes, and/or themselves be adopted through a framework convention kind of a process. (The statement of objectives is tentative, and will be finalised at the second IGF at Rio).
