<div>including Brazil, India, and South Africa, which also
opposed UN sanctions on Iran's "peaceful nuclear program" when
the government there was busy hunting down and executing
protesters. But want a new UN body to develop global Internet
policies and "integrate and oversee the bodies responsible for
technical and operational functioning of the Internet,
including global standards setting." Then we can have
intergovernmental horse trading over all aspects of global IG
with Russia, China, et al linking voting deals on issues like
their proposed code of conduct for acceptable Internet speech,
TLDs, address assignments, standards, etc. to deals on
sanctions and other geopolitical items. That should help
ensure a stable and open Internet…</div>
