Well answered Parmnder ! <br><br>Yet Milton only reflects the official discourse of the WSIS since its very beginning. And this is far more serious and dangerous. Will the WSIS Forum 2012 change its neoconservative tune ? Let's try for it to happen in being active and proposing "another way" during the coming preparative meetings. especially as far as developing countries policies are concerned. <br>friendly regards <br><br>Jean-Louis Fullsack<br>CSDPTT<br> <br> <br> <br><br><blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; border-left: 2px solid #ff0000">> Message du 12/07/11 12:56<br>> De : "parminder" <br>> A : governance@lists.cpsr.org, "Milton L Mueller" <br>> Copie à : <br>> Objet : Re: [governance] FW: TP: city government exercising policy on Google Applications / consumer rights / Consumer Protection Act / trial period<br>> <br>> <meta http="http" equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <br>> <br>> On Monday 11 July 2011 11:43 PM, Milton L Mueller wrote: <blockquote> <meta http="http" equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <meta content="Microsoft Word 14 (filtered medium)"> <style><!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} @font-face {font-family:Tahoma; panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4;} @font-face {font-family:Consolas; panose-1:2 11 6 9 2 2 4 3 2 4;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; color:#333333;} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {mso-style-priority:99; color:blue; text-decoration:underline;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {mso-style-priority:99; color:purple; text-decoration:underline;} pre {mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-link:"HTML Preformatted Char"; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Courier New"; color:#333333;} span.HTMLPreformattedChar {mso-style-name:"HTML Preformatted Char"; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-link:"HTML Preformatted"; font-family:Consolas;} span.EmailStyle19 {mso-style-type:personal; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D;} span.EmailStyle20 {mso-style-type:personal-reply; font-family:"Courier New"; color:#1F497D;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; font-size:10.0pt;} @page WordSection1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;} div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} --></style><!--[if gte mso 9]><noxml> <o:shapedefaults v:ext="edit" spidmax="1026" /> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><noxml> <o:shapelayout v:ext="edit"> <o:idmap v:ext="edit" data="1" /> </o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]--> <br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt">Local governments have a lot to do with local things.
