The European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, plans to host Berners-Lee and other web aficionados on Tuesday. Some trace the actual start of the web to 1990, when he released the first web browser. Now, the hope of his World Wide Web Foundation is to enlist governments, companies, and citizens to take a greater role in shaping the web for good under principles laid out in its "Contract for the Web." To Berners-Lee, the web is a "mirror of humanity" where "you will see good and bad." Ultimately, his "Contract" proposal is not about "quick fixes," but a process for shifting people's relationship with the online world, he said.
