In PENNI we combine Design Science together with Action Research in order to iteratively develop and refine the policy language(s), trust and transparency framework, and Internet communication protocols, that are necessary to a support policy, trust and transparency enabled decentralised Next Generation Internet. Concretely we will make the following contributions:

• Firstly, in terms of machine-readable policies we will devise a framework that demonstrates how machine-readable policies can be embedded into the fabric of the NGI;
• Secondly, when it comes to trust and transparency we will develop a NGI architecture where trust and transparency are first class citizens;
• Finally, from a Web protocols perspect we aim to enhance standard Web protocols with policy awareness.
