<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. I'd substitute "governance" for
"internationalization" in the sentence "<FONT size=3><FONT
face="Times New Roman">One thing however is clear by now; the Internet is not
just a technical artifact, requiring technical governance with regard to keeping
it running smoothly, but a key socio-political phenomenon requiring

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=406323710-16042009>2. Explanation. My
current involvement with the Net is primarily with city TLDs, those long
banished entities, a DNS lacuna soon to be filled ( go .nyc!). Presuming these
entities, home to more than 50% of the world's population, succeed in work their
way into the DNS as public interest serving entities, their role in the
Net's governance structure must be considered. Thus if we're agreed that "<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3>One thing however is clear by now; the Internet is
not just a technical artifact, requiring technical governance with regard to
keeping it running smoothly, but a key socio-political phenomenon" then
governance is required, not internationalization. Perhaps that governance is
internationalized, but governance is the important
point.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><B><O:P></O:P><BR></B>As the Internet becomes a key
factor of reorganizing our social structures, and doing so at a global level
as never before, democratic global governance of the Internet is a pressing
imperative. Its present governance structures grew out of certain historical
contexts, as well as of some new socio-political realities around the
Internet. In the context of rapid changes that the Internet has wrought, the
key and emerging issues related to its governance, and the correspondingly
legitimate governance arrangements, could not have been anticipated by
anyone. One thing however is clear by now; the Internet is not just a
technical artifact, requiring technical governance with regard to keeping it
running smoothly, but a key socio-political phenomenon requiring
participative political governance by all people of the world, who are all
implicated.<SPAN> </SPAN>However, the direction we move in from here
depends on where we stand. It is important to analyze the needs of evolution
and internationalization of IG from these dual standpoints. <O:P></O:P></P>
