  OECD governments and other stakeholders have created a new framework to promote a more transparent, open Internet. The new principles, agreed by OECD member governments, business representatives and technical experts, aim to advance the debate on Internet governance:
  
  Promote and protect the global free flow of information
  Promote the open, distributed and interconnected nature of the Internet
  Promote investment and competition in high speed networks and services
  Promote and Enable the Cross-Border Delivery of Services
  Encourage multi-stakeholder co-operation in policy development processes
  Foster voluntarily developed codes of conduct
  Develop capacities to bring publicly available, reliable data into the policy-making process
  Ensure transparency, fair process, and accountability
  Strengthen consistency and effectiveness in privacy protection at a global level
  Maximize individual empowerment
  Promote Creativity and Innovation
  Limit Internet intermediary liability
  Encourage co-operation to promote Internet security and
  Give appropriate priority to enforcement efforts
  They underline the benefits that today's light-touch, flexible regulation has brought in driving innovation and economic growth. This model, which includes governments, business, civil society and the technical community in a so-called multi-stakeholder approach, has been key to the Internet's rapid growth and impact. "The Internet has achieved global interconnection without the development of any international regulatory regime. The development of such a formal regulatory regime could risk undermining its growth," according to the communiqué.
