not at all going in good directions if you ask me :)<br>

(At a recent conf i was given this T shirt - dont think what the Internet can
do you you - think what you can do to the Internet -- this kind of expressions
almost scare me, and make me feel belittled as a human being in front of a 'system'...
Well if we are insistent on going down that path then lets give noble prize to
the 'system' instead, the all powerful one)<br>

We have to be pragmatic, the Nobel Prize to the net could be useful to <br>
recognize it as a commons, the wider public space in the human history, not <br>
a new infrastructure after telegraph, telephon, radio, television and PC.
This is why we need an extension of the rights in <br>
a new way: multilevel and multistakeholder. I know what I say under <br>
Berlusconi's Government the freedom of expression on the net is in peril.
<br>
With Stefano Rodotà and many other we gathered 400.000 signatures under an <br>
appeal against an awful proposal of law and this time we won. Ready to the next
one :)<br>

I of course agree with Jean, although perhaps I would not phrase it as bluntly

I think this is a real rubbish idea and I am very much against sending <br>
any message to that effect.<br>

I suggest that one of CS representative strongly raise the support <br>
for the Nobel Prize for the Internet either in the closing session or <br>
in regular interventions in the plenary. It will be good if IGF sends <br>
a strong message out on this.<br>
<br>
