NETmundial Initiative

The historic NETmundial meeting held in São Paulo, Brazil, in April 2014, provided a reference for governments, private sector, civil society, technical community and academia from around the world to address Internet governance challenges. Its concluding document contained a shared set of Principles and a Roadmap to guide the evolution of Internet cooperation and governance. Many parties to these historic discussions seek to carry forward the cooperative spirit forged in São Paulo and work together to address Internet issues in concrete ways through the NETmundial Initiative.

The mission of the NETmundial Initiative is to provide a platform that helps catalyze practical cooperation between all stakeholders in order to address Internet issues and advance the implementation of the NETmundial Principles and Roadmap.
