CSISAC criticizes aspects of OECD "Internet Policy-Making" Principles

http://j.mp/jCGpAO  (CSISAC [PDF])

     "CSISAC's concerns are with the detailed framing of the itemized
      principles. In some instances, the elaboration of these concepts
      appears to undermine the very principles they are intended to engrain.
      We remain convinced that consensus could have been reached on a
      document focused more on Internet policy-making principles and less on
      finer details related to contentious areas of substantive law.  As
      developed in the Communiqu, several of these principles are not
      compatible with CSISAC core values including respect for fundamental
      human rights and freedoms and, the rule of law, promotion of access to
      knowledge, promotion of open standards, Net Neutrality and balanced
      intellectual property policies and regimes."
