I'm asking the Secretary-General of the United Nations to set up the working group on improvements to the Internet Governance Forum in an open and inclusive process that ensures a mechanism for the full and active participation of governments, the private sector and civil society from both developing and developed countries.

The internet belongs to everyone not just a few rich companies. Stop trying to control it.

We need voices from everywhere not just the big countries. This is vital for the future of digital freedom.

Finally some common sense. Stop the gatekeeping and let people have a say in how the web is run.
