When its response was sought to the Indian proposal, Internet Society
(ISOC), an international NGO, cautioned against the creation of new U.N.
bodies. "We believe such developments would be in default of the Tunis
Agenda, which calls for multi-stakeholder cooperation in the Internet
policy development process,” said Rajnesh D. Singh, Regional Director,
Asian Bureau, ISOC.

“Should there be any move towards a new U.N. instrument pertaining to
Internet policy, it must be done with the involvement of all stakeholders,
in an open, inclusive, and transparent fashion. The Internet works because
its governance is open, inclusive, collaborative, and transparent. It
allows for innovation without permission and encourages the free flow of
ideas and the exchange of information across borders; it facilitates
innovation and spurs economic growth and thus contributes to social and
economic development,” he said.
