Though I'm pretty sure the United Nations has zero interest in an endorsement from downes.ca I think the set of open source principles listed here is a pretty good start. On this page you'll find a list of 16 organizations the UN actually does want to hear from, and if you scroll down, the list of eight principles (I've looked around for a more detailed description of each but it seems this is all there is). The principles are, basically: open by default, contribute back, secure by design, be inclusive, design for reusability, document, empower individuals, sustain and scale. Via Dave Lane.
