The Fall of Internet Governance?

Speaking of the importance of open and transparent standards 
organization, I just got a tweet that announced this related blog by the 
CEO of the WWW Foundation:

Heeding Nnenna Nwakanma’s stirring call for “the Web we can trust … the 
Web that is open and inclusive,” participants managed to reach a rough 
consensus on a set of principles for future Internet governance and 
agreed that:

* The Internet must be managed “in the public interest” and with respect 
for human rights;

* Internet governance must be built on “democratic, multi-stakeholder 
processes” with the “full and balanced participation of all stakeholders 
from around the globe”;

* Decision-making must be transparent and well-documented, with 
“independent checks and balances as well as [mechanisms] for review and 
redress”.

It's especially interesting to look at the above points with a 
s/Internet/Web/g lens.
