<pre wrap="">Parminder,
Is there a link to the actual proposal given to the GA or just text of a speech?

McTim, the whole proposal is contained in the text of the speech and
its annex as enclosed in my earlier email. There is no other proposal
document. Will respond to other parts of your email separately,

Going by the speech alone, it sure looks like a "takeover" to me, to wit:
ii. Coordinate and oversee the bodies responsible for technical and

<pre wrap="">vi. Undertake arbitration and dispute resolution, where necessary; and,
vii. Crisis management in relation to the Internet.
I've just chosen the top 3, but all of these functions are done by
other bodies, are done quite well and have been done for a long time.
quoting ISOC:
"The Internet model of decentralized architecture and distributed
responsibility for development, operation, and management has been the
catalyst for boundless innovation and creativity. "
I'm one of those people who does not consider that "gaps" in 'social'
public policies re; Internet are sufficient to merit such a draconian
"multilateral" body.
In other words, the remedy is far worse than the illness.
