* Minimize legislation governing content, maximize effective access to information and remove criminal penalties for defamation and the expression of opinion.
* Push for wider Internet access at lower cost and without government interference with users. Encourage a regional ombudsman for the service and protection of Arab bloggers.
* Support educational enterprises for media and journalism; identify, encourage and celebrate "champion" new media endeavors. 2008 Forum participant Monroe Price has continued to work with the Jordan Media Institute on training and professional development programs.
