<pre wrap="">Hi All
A new communication from UN DESA asked for inputs to also specifically focus
on the following two questions.
What international public policy issues pertaining to the Internet are not
being adequately addressed by current mechanisms?
What specific processes should be pursued to enhance international
cooperation in these areas?
IT for Change made an additional input addressing these questions, which is
enclosed.

I find it highly ironic that your organisation wants both FOE as
indicated in an earlier mail by Guru AND and a new, powerful, dynamic
GIC which would (IMHO) stop folk like wikileaks.
I submit that you can't have both.

Did you also find it highly ironic that someone who comes across as
taking the constant position of govt = evil is able to defend
infomation being censored though political pressures that are extra
constitutional / beyond processes of law? But both ironies are beside
the point.<br>
<br>
Global public policy mechanisms are required precisely to address this
unilateral use of power - if the wikileaks info petained to France or
Japan, let alone any developing county, would Amazon have pulled them
down? <br>
Or are you saying that the unilateral power of USG/US is better than an
international structure/process<br>
