In particular, the interests of small states such as Switzerland can be defended globally only with "proactive" diplomacy and by putting forward positions in the global network in a good and coordinated manner. Performance targets and planning Structural problems of global networking are ideally addressed globally. Accordingly, Swiss interests relating to the private sector, society and authorities are to be put forward in a coordinated manner insofar as possible. Although the administration of core Internet resources is to continue according to liberal principles, it is to be less dominated by the interests of the few countries involved in the Internet industry. The common guidelines are to be jointly issued and imposed by governments. The stability and availability of the Internet should be ensured for all, and the freedom of citizens and companies on the Internet should not be restricted disproportionately. With regard to the creation of international best practices, policies and agreements in the area of safety and security standards, as well as in the security policy environment, it is essential when putting forward Switzerland's interests for a coordinated approach to be adopted, particularly by economic players and public authority units. Measures Measure 9 Switzerland (private sector, society, authorities) actively and in a coordinated manner advocates Internet governance that is compatible with the Swiss concept of freedom and (personal) responsibility, universal service, equal opportunities, human rights and the rule of law. Switzerland is also committed to reasonable internationalisation and democratisation of Internet management. Its experience in the democratic decision-making process enables it to bring added value to consensus building. (DETEC, FDFA, DDPS, FDF) Implementation DETEC represents Switzerland and its interests in the relevant processes and institutions in the area of Internet governance. It coordinates and defines Switzerland's interests and positions in the area of Internet governance with the relevant federal units. Moreover, DETEC runs a multi-stakeholder exchange platform ("Plateforme Tripartite") which is open to all interested members of Switzerland's administration, private sector, civil society and academia, and integrates their interests appropriately. In international bodies and events relating to security policy that have a direct or indirect influence on Internet governance, the relevant players are represented by the FDFA, FDF and DDPS. In collaboration with the departments involved, DETEC and the FDFA are compiling an overview of the priority events, initiatives and international bodies concerning Internet governance for the end of 2013. 37/42
