As part of the the Internet Governance Forum 2014 in Istanbul, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) organises a session themed “Crowdsourcing a Magna Carta for ‘The Web We Want'”. Could we, as international citizens of the Internet, create a set of general principles, a “Magna Carta” for the Internet? Can we design a platform that enables us to crowdsource from across the world a vision for the “Web We Want”?

Panelists from across the world will discuss and compare their experiences in large-scale constitutional crowd-sourcing, and will suggest best practices in order to extend these efforts in designing participatory platforms to engage users in political discussion and action.

The Ninth Annual Internet Governance Forum Meeting will be held in Istanbul, Turkey on 2-5 September 2014.
