For the Internet to fulfill its historic potential, it needs to achieve fully-fledged “Universality” based upon the strength and interdependence of the following: (i) the norm that the Internet is Human Rights-based, (ii) the norm that it is “Open”, (iii) the norm that highlights “Accessible to All”, and (iv) the norm that it is nurtured by Multi-stakeholder Participation. The “Internet Universality” concept has very specific value for UNESCO. As regards global debates on Internet governance, it can help UNESCO facilitate international multi-stakeholder cooperation, and highlight what the Organization can bring to the Post-2015 Sustainable Development Agenda.</span>

This debate has focused not so much on technical details, but on the appropriate awareness of the possibilities and risks presented by the Internet. Essays, poems, collages, videos and technical ideas on the different categories were received. A selection of contributions could be exhibited at EuroDIG to show that society closely follows this issue. Furthermore, they also serve as an appeal to political decision-makers to make use of this potential. Hence, the exhibition could serve as a meaningful complement to the expert panel discussions and take up relevant issues.</span>

| style="border: 1px solid #00000a;" align="LEFT"|<span style="font-family: Calibri; ">In the absence of appropriate frameworks, a trend towards a creeping fragmentation of the Internet is already observed around the world. Uncoordinated and potentially incompatible solutions emerge in different jurisdictions (new “data sovereignty” laws, national clouds, redirections to national ccTLDs, local offices obligations etc.) How to ensure the digital coexistence of heterogeneous laws and values in online spaces is thus becoming a core challenge for international organi-zations, states, platforms, technical operators and users in Europe. How can frameworks be developed to prevent such a fragmentation? What are the merits of different approaches such as harmonization, treaties, guidelines, standards or enhanced multi-stakeholder cooperation that are currently explored?</span>

| style="border: 1px solid #00000a;" align="LEFT"|<span style="font-family: Calibri; ">The process to constituionalise a global „information space“ started under the League system, continued under the early UN, proceeded into UNESCO in the 1970s (NWICO), and is still at large today under the label of internet governance (WSIS, IGF). The notion that the flow of information necessarily has to be free is deeply ingrained in the genes of public discourse. Although media policy has remained a „normal“ tool of state(s), information beyond each national border has remained wholly unregulated, as demonstrated not only by Google, but also NSA’s Boundless Informant. Recently, the German and Brazilian government's move to to turn privacy laws into international law have marked a (re)new(ed) move to constituionalise information.</span>

Aim to create ways to generate awareness and knowledge-sharing beyond reporting back or documenting best practice; location and sharing of resources, research, points of contention and agreement between and amongst participating groups; address any democratic deficits in organization of different IGF by identifying robust forms of diverse and broad-based participation in preparation and running of these meetings, and official outputs.</span>

We believe that everyone has the right to know and understand how the Internet works. Regulations governing the Internet should be clear and the process of developing them should be fully transparent. </span>

| style="border: 1px solid #00000a;" align="LEFT"|<span style="font-family: Calibri; ">Multi-stakeholderism enables heterogeneous groups with different positions to find ways of governance. It is a proven concept for avoiding blind spots and increasing legitimacy by reaching higher levels of inclusion not yet broadly adopted outside the IGF context. On national levels processes are often driven behind walled gardens in traditional governmental fashion due to lack of knowledge or habit. There are platforms for internet and society related challenges, and experiments with formats, that can be discussed as opportunities for enabling constructive ideation environments, discourse culture and collaboration. How can stalemates in policy making be overcome? What are models of stakeholder inclusion and balance? How can innovative governance of socio-political dynamics look like?</span>

One critical method for achieving this goal may be the use of online dispute resolution (ODR). ODR provides a protective mechanism for the rule of law, as well as a punitive mechanism in case its principles are breached. This proposal discusses the issues regarding structural aspects of ODR, how ODR can use the multi-stakeholder approach to ensure justice, and how effectively it can ensure that the principles of the rule of law are followed.</span>

However, surveillance of journalists as well as censorship have become a mundane threat to press freedom. States are claiming more power to shape the way the Internet works. But challenges to press freedom online arise not only through of state actors. ISPs, as well as content and social-media platforms emerge as new gatekeepers. For Media to fulfil their role as \'fourth estate\', it is crucial to have a neutral and reliable infrastructure that operates at foreseeable costs. Infrastructure shall be regarded neutral if it acts as a „common carrier“ and censorship is forbidden.<br />Specific regulatory proposals shall be presented to the incoming EU Commission and Parliament.</span>
