The Dialogue Forum on Internet Rights 2 (DFIR2) is meant as a follow-up to the first edition of this initiative, which took place in Rome in 2007. Its aim is to keep up the international discussion process - officially launched by Italy, together with other actors, during the Athens IGF - to define a shared set of principles able to steer the democratic and inclusive development of the Internet (the so-called Internet Bill of Rights or Internet Rights Code).

The first edition of the Forum, organized together with the United Nations, featured participants from 70 countries and 53 governmental delegations. During the last IGF in Rio de Janeiro, it obtained an acknowledgment from the United Nations and registered the interest of many Countries, in particular Brazil, with whom Italy signed a Joint Declaration.
