Dear Alejandro,</p>
<p>Many of these 'misunderstandings' indicate that our policy makers, as also, those in many other countries are misled by anti-Internet lobby groups, in this case this misunderstanding is a reflection of what has been fed by "Advisors" who haven't worried about the blatant inaccuracy of the misinformation planted at the ministerial level. </p>
<p>The situation you have described about the Kenya IGF where the IBSA proposal caused discomfort, is another example of wrong advice and strong influences at junior level which sometimes causes people of higher administrative and/or ministerial responsibility to be criticized. In this Kenya and some other instances, it could have been a situation of a lobbyist with an NGO facade earning enough trust to prepare a whole draft in the name of the country. Such situations would indeed change with learned and responsible good people within the administration paying attention to the inner dynamics and paying attention to every word that gets published / spoken in the name of the country. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, what has so far surfaced in the name of India does not truly reflect the Indian mind, which is far more sensible and evolved.</p>
<p>I would strongly agree with an earlier comment on this thread that the Internet Community has not done enough to disseminate fundamental information on the workings of something as new as the Internet on which not many policy makers could be expected to be experts without a focussed program. While this need is left unfilled by the Internet Community, negative forces are busy with plenty of misinformation by proximity.</p>
