We need to protect, improve and grow the open web. Magnifying the public benefit aspects of the Internet is an important goal, worthy of time, attention and commitment.protecting the web means making sure there are open options in user choiceThe effectiveness of the Internet as a public resource depends upon interoperability (protocols, data formats, content), innovation and decentralized participation worldwide.Free and open source software promotes the development of the Internet as a public resource.Individuals' security on the Internet is fundamental and cannot be treated as optional.growing the open web means creating applications of openness Commercial involvement in the development of the Internet brings many benefits; a balance between commercial goals and public benefit is critical.Improved through continued innovation and advancement.to benefit as many as possible
