+      The open, global internet is the most powerful communication and collaboration resource we have ever seen.
+      It embodies some of our deepest hopes for human progress.
+      It enables new opportunities for learning, building a sense of shared humanity, and solving the pressing problems
+      facing people everywhere.
+      
+      Over the last decade we have seen this promise fulfilled in many ways.
+      We have also seen the power of the internet used to magnify divisiveness,
+      incite violence, promote hatred, and intentionally manipulate fact and reality.
+      We have learned that we should more explicitly set out our aspirations for the human experience of the internet.
+      We do so now.
