Orientation of proposal

 Acknowledge and promote the creation of places of independent public discussion and action free from market and government constraints, since they are essential to democratic life and social cohesion.

 Acknowledge the central place occupied by community organisations in the creation of non-profit public arenas.

 Acknowledge the concrete and unique role of social utility played by community organisations regarding access, networking, training, developing content, and job creation linked to ICTs.

 By consequence, include the non-profit sector in legislation and programmes not only as a passive recipient but also as a fully-fledgeds actor, by taking substantial institutional and financial measures.
