Internet Governance
The Internet has developed rapidly over thirty years with core principles that foster innovation and collaboration between stakeholders, built on a unique model of shared global ownership, open standards development and freely accessible processes for technology and policy development.

This has enabled it to make substantial contributions to the MDGs. A sustainable Internet, based on an open and collaborative approach to policy, standards and technology development will be crucial in maximizing its contribution to the challenges and opportunities of sustainable development. Three things in particular will be crucial to this:

· Multistakeholder participation has been crucial to the Internet’s success. The Internet ecosystem draws on the experience, expertise and collaboration of diverse stakeholders, including the technical community, private sector, governments and civil society. Multistakeholder cooperation and dialogue were core values of the WSIS and have enabled the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) to address the relationship between the Internet and development. The value of multistakeholder engagement is recognised in sustainable development fora, and various forms of multistakeholder participation have been introduced in UN processes.

· Open, universal, interoperable standards have made the Internet a resilient platform which can be used by all stakeholders to experiment, develop and offer new services, customise applications to their own requirements, and innovate in ways that challenge as well as building on established technology and services. Maintaining open standards has been a priority for ISOC since its inception. They have enabled rapid deployment of innovations such as social media and cloud computing, and will be crucial to leveraging developmental value from big data and the Internet of Things. [19]

· A collaborative security approach building trust in online services is essential to the Internet’s continued growth. People need confidence that their data are secure, and the networks and services they use reliable, if they are to take full advantage of the Internet. Businesses and development stakeholders need data security and network reliability, particularly when delivering important services such as those concerned with health or financial transfers. ISOC has called for a Collaborative Security approach to Internet security, built on fundamental human rights and Internet properties, collective responsibility, agile responses based on expertise and consensus, and local action to address global challenges.
