<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>I am concerned that with the JPA significant dates edging ever closer, this type of anti American revisionist history will become more prevalant. Let us hope not. Let us begin by making it known that innaccuracies such as this will be challenged.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>America has never and most likely will never have any decrees. We do not run our rig that way. Doctrines are a statement of intention by executives in governance, they are not law or treaty. The Monroe Doctrine is a statement against a <EM>Holy Alliance</EM> that threatened to reinstate colonialism. It was a statement to our lawmakers how the executive planned on dealing with others.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>All nations are allowed to make moves to secure their borders. Internet governance must accept and enjoy the cultural integrity that goes along with this forever necessity. All nations should feel confident and indeed plan for future independence regarding telecommunications. If the United States can effectively maintain and control access to information for other countries, it would be incumbent upon those countries to change that reliance.</DIV>

Those of us on the periphery of empire can attest to that. <BR><BR>Seems I share some common reading material with Ms. Davidson.

I shall take the most benign explanation and insist she is blithely unaware of the deleterious impact of the Monroe Doctrine on Latin America and the Caribbean. Honduras is just the latest gasp in a sorry history of an execrable policy that delivered "repeated injuries and usurpations greviously committed" and unilateral extraterritorial interventions resulting in stunted democratic institutions, mayhem and murder. Other stakeholders, the local people for one, were never recognized as having
worthwhile much less sovereign interests. She clearly does not know the true history of the United Fruit Company in Central America and other implementing tools of this doctrine. I won't even mention Haiti. <BR><BR>Let us be clear. The views expressed by Madame Reding of the EC inre ICANN-related Internet governance issues are merely more, well.....shall we say nuanced...as befits a better understanding of the sweep of history and its impact on the future.<BR><BR>History is not bunk.

<DIV>Here is a good statement from Mary Ann Davidson, CSO from Oracle, where she proposes a "Monroe Doctrin" for Internet Governance. This is an extended version from a statement she made in a Congressional Hearing recently.<BR><BR>If somebody expected that we will soon the end of the IG debate, the contrary will be the case: The discussion has just started and the risk is, that all the new entrants in the discussion will probably not understand, what multistakeholderism is and why this has been an achievement for the diplomacy of the 1st decade of the 21st century. The 2nd decade could look rather different.<BR><BR>Wolfgang<BR><BR><A href="http://blogs.oracle.com/maryanndavidson/" target=_blank rel=nofollow>http://blogs.oracle.com/maryanndavidson/</A><BR>____________________________________________________________<BR>You received this message as a subscriber on the list:<BR> <A
