  The article focuses on the relationship between the Internet Governance and democracy on the governance of the logical layer of the Internet.Due to the impactful role and the normative effects of standards, protocols and technical decisions for the Internet and Internet users, and the centrality of the Internet in almost every aspect of thesocial, financial and political life, it argues thatwe ought to examine the ideologies, narratives and assumptions that have informed and shaped key governance arrangements.It explores the influence of technological determinism as a technocratic governing mentality, applying the argument of Taylor Dotson in the context of Internet Governance, and more specifically on the governance of the logical layer, focusing on standard-setting and technical decision-making by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).It argues that technological determinism has been pervasive in Internet Governance discoursesince the early days of the Internet, while standard-setting and technical decision-making are technocratically organized and non-democratic procedures, considering also how the technical community takes decisions, as well as how itself frames its tasks and perceives standard-setting and technical decision-making.It concludes arguing that we need to review the way governance on the logical layer is organized, dispelling technological determinism, while introducing social considerations and democratic principles. Resumo:  O artigo aborda a relacao entre Governanca e democracia na camada logica da Internet. Devido ao impacto e aos efeitos normativos dos padroes, protocolos e decisoes tecnicas para a Internet e para os seus usuarios, e a centralidade da Internet em quase todos os aspectos da vida social, financeira e politica, argumenta-se que devemos examinar as ideologias, narrativas e suposicoes que informaram e moldaram os principais arranjos de governanca. Explora-se a influencia do determinismo tecnologico como uma mentalidade governante tecnocratica, aplicando a argumento de Taylor Dotson no contexto da Governanca da Internet e, mais especificamente, na governanca da camada logica, com foco na definicao de padroes e na tomada de decisoes tecnicas pela  Internet Engineering Task Force  (IETF). Argumenta-se que o determinismo tecnologico tem sido difundido nos discursos de Governanca da Internet desde os primeiros dias da Internet, enquanto padronizacoes e tomadas de decisao sao procedimentos tecnocraticamente organizados e nao democraticos, considerando como a comunidade tecnica toma decisoes, bem como como ela mesma define suas tarefas e percebe a definicao de padroes e a tomada de decisoes tecnicas. Conclui-se argumentando que precisamos revisar a forma como a governanca na camada logica e organizada, dissipando o determinismo tecnologico, e introduz-se consideracoes sociais e principios democraticos.
