<DIV>Disagree with Ginger (that doesnt happen often!)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>no regulation of the internet period means to me</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>* large corporations control what happens via market power</DIV>
<DIV>* paypal can suspend all payments to wikileaks or whoever offends their
sensibilities with no ramifications or checks and balances and political
judgements of corporations can determine access</DIV>
<DIV>* paedophilia, hate mail etc are completely unchecked</DIV>
<DIV>* cybercrime is OK</DIV>
<DIV>* all governments can act unilaterally to block sites according to whatever
power they can exert on either corporations or their local ISP industry.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Frankly, to me this is a horror scenario.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But where I do agree with Ginger is aiming for a tolerable version of
#2.</DIV>

do some thought experiments around what option #2 would look like as<BR>for
example, to deal with the issues of global/natonal security on the<BR>Internet
but at the end of the day my guess is that it would look rather<BR>like a UN
agency except one that had been updated from 19th century modes
of<BR>operation (and assumptions about appropriate structures of governance)
to<BR>ones more reflective of 21st century modes/assumptions and
technology.<BR><BR><BR><BR>How we get from here to there is of course, a
challenge but if the major<BR>players are in fact operating in good faith with
an overarching concern for<BR>the health and well being of the Internet
infrastructure as a global public<BR>good rather than pursuing narrow national
or commercial interests then<BR>developing a suitable set of mechanisms
shouldn't be impossible.<BR><BR><BR><BR>And you are right about
"incumbents"--I was of course referring to dominant<BR>Internet players rather
than telco
incumbents.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Best,<BR><BR><BR><BR>Mike<BR><BR><BR><BR>From:

1. no regulation of the Internet
period<BR><BR>

discussion have come<BR>from those whose broad position is #1 but in a feat of
legerdemaine they<BR>have managed to stampede many of those whose ultimate
position would be #2<BR>(based on a reasoned assessment of the broad needs of
the global community)<BR>to support them by arguing that there were in fact
only two options #1 and<BR>#3.<BR><BR><BR><BR>That option #1 (i.e. the default
