The Internet Society's motto, for many years, has been "The Internet is for Everyone." As the Internet continues to penetrate into every corner of human society and of the economy, members of the Internet Society (ISOC) have a responsibility to demonstrate the standards of behaviour that are appropriate to continued growth and beneficial use of the Internet. People designing, building and operating Internet services, or simply using the Internet as a major tool in everyday life and work, need to adopt standards of behaviour like those of any profession. We build bridges and buildings to stand for at least 100 years, resisting natural and man-made disasters as far as possible, and to be useful for applications beyond their original design. Despite its rate of change, the Internet should be the same. |

This principle has not only enabled the Internet to grow rapidly and to serve millions of users, it has also prevented any one entity or government from "owning" or "controlling" the Internet. |
