Recognize and Secure Standards for the Internet Platform:

Enforce a policy assuring that the term "Internet" be applied to
network offerings that follow the principles of practice generally
embodied in the Internet Protocol.

Innovation can continue in both standards and network offerings, while
providers who wish to offer a general purpose platform based on the
Internet Protocol, may continue to represent the advantages of that
design (such as for interoperability, flexibility and uniform
treatment of traffic flow), without consumer confusion when comparing
with other offerings that may not clearly distinguish their practices
from the standard.
