In the recent months the Internet Governance debate has gain particular attention. Not only for what was observed in Middle East countries but also for what is being discussed in international organizations. The IGF scope is being revised, developed countries at the G8 are analyzing what type of model of Internet governance should be adopted by governments.
In my recent visit to Brazil to the Comite Gestor da Internet no Brasil (a multistakeholder organization) I realized how important is for any particular country to have on one hand an organization that includes all stakeholders involved in Internet governance (from the government to the technical community, the ccTLD, etc.) and on the other hand to have already developed a series of consensus based principles to guide the processes related to the many issues that surround the Internet governance debate.
These principles are not new. They were published a couple of years ago but they remain valid and updated.
Here is a link to such principles.
For the Latin American region -as one of my colleagues from the Internet Technical Community has pointed out- there are good conditions to advance a regional initiative of this sort.

Can you codify "permanent beta"?
Not at all. In my view principles are not codes. Principles are only guides, should be flexible enough to allow for building upon them.
