<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>Well I can see why some here really want to know who they are dealing with on this list.</DIV>
<DIV>If you knew who I was, you would not make such a funny statement. Clearly as, Avri can attest, I would have to dress up in little red riding hoods clothing in order to change my identity. I have long been an advocate for dotcommoner rights within and without the ICANN structure. You can ask Joe, there is this little thing of the TLDA and my very .lowtech Interest in that arena. I have been accused of working for Countries other than the USA and staunchly advocating that they are wholly independent of ICANN and more importantly the USA. If you have ever heard of a genre of arguments that entail the Internet rights of Saigon ShoeShine boys you would no my free radicals.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As for America. I have travelled way too much to fall for that game. In Canada we citizens from the US are mostly referred to as Americans. As for Mexico it is Norte Americanos and in all Asia it is Americans. In Europe it is mostly derogatory or actually much more regional in conversation, like LA or NY or near the Grand Canyon or New Orleans. If I say I am from the US, people get that but -- Mexico is also an United States in America soo???</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I do not consider your post as a personal attack. I am not insulted but I would suggest that for others who have not been in the ICANN and cyber wars since the 90s you tone down your direct insults.<BR><BR>--- On <B>Mon, 8/17/09, Rui Correia <I><correia.rui@gmail.com></I></B> wrote:<BR></DIV>

<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 <I>Holy Alliance</I> 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. And while we read the same books, her worldview leads her to count all other actors in the space as merely collateral damage.<BR><BR>The Monroe Doctrine is an unfortunate metaphor applied to either cybersecurity or Internet governance. 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.
