everything is transparent. Just think RFC, for example;-)<br>
If I were editing it, I would have put one "the" in front of
"transparent" - that would have changed the meaning of the
sentence. I am sure others may disagree with me, but as I said - I
am not comfortable with text, which to the non-native English

But the declaration as it is, I am not comfortable with it enough to sign it
personally.
Declaration
We stand for a free and open Internet.
We support transparent and participatory processes for making Internet
policy and the establishment of five basic principles:
Expression: Don't censor the Internet.
Access: Promote universal access to fast and affordable networks.
Openness: Keep the Internet an open network where everyone is free
to
connect, communicate, write, read, watch, speak, listen, learn, create
and
innovate.
Innovation: Protect the freedom to innovate and create without
permission. Don’t block new technologies, and don’t punish innovators
for
their users' actions.
Privacy: Protect privacy and defend everyone’s ability to control
how
their data and devices are used.
