IGF Dynamic Coalition on Open Standards

Introduction

The Dynamic Coalition on Open Standards (DCOS) was created at the Athens Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in November 2006. Our mission is to provide government policy makers and other stakeholders with useful tools to make informed decisions to preserve the current open architecture of the Internet and the World Wide Web, which together provide a knowledge ecosystems that has profoundly shaped the multiplier effect of global public goods and improved economic and social welfare.

 

Participation

Membership in the IGF DCOS is open to anyone who supports our Mission and our Principles.

Our work is based upon the core principles of the Internet itself and best practices established by the Internet’s leading standards organizations, the IETF and W3C: openness, rough consensus, and when appropriate, “running code,” meaning existing best practices.
