I have done a bit of thinking and writing about what the NTIA
decision tells us about Internet Governance and the
multi-stakeholder approach. <br>
<br>
In brief: Is the NTIA decision a good thing for
multistakeholderbased human rights-sensitive Internet Governance?<span

lang="EN-US"> <br>
<br>
It is, if it leads to more accountability in the next application
of ICANN, which is sure to follow.</span><span style="font-family:
Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; " lang="EN-US"><br>
It isn't, if it leads to more governmental oversight in defining
the global public interest vis-a-vis the web. <o:p></o:p></span><br

Might I suggest the following as a starting point?
+ Every person shall be free to use the Internet in any way
that is privately beneficial without being publicly
detrimental.
- The burden of demonstrating public detriment shall
be on those who wish to prevent the private use.
- Such a demonstration shall require clear and
convincing evidence of public detriment.
- The public detriment must be of such degree and extent
as to justify the suppression of the private activity.
