IC Citizen Promotes the Appropriate Use of Technology
IC Citizen Certification is the first certification program in the world specifically designed to produce digitally literate and responsible citizens. This unique and universal certification program is dedicated to promoting an Acceptable Usage Policy (AUP) and establish rules for acceptable behavior, or netiquette, when operating digital devices and using the Internet.
"Netizen is an Internet user who possesses a sense
of civic responsibility for her/his virtual community
in much the same way citizens would feel responsible
for a physical community."
Michael Hauben
