True. For this I unreservedly apologise. <br>
<br>
FYI and going forward when I state <b>explicit/implicit</b> in the
view it means how I read it from my perspective. That is, what is
the political effect of your position.<br>

<br>
As above. And again, apologies for not being careful in dealing with
the politics that flow from your analysis in my worldview as
distinct from what you specifically said.<br>

<br>
No I don't. I presume to speak for myself but from within the well
developed post-colonial analytic of Third Worldism (different from
McTim's fyi). Arguing for universality of Human Rights is making
common cause with billions of people who have rights to privacy. <br>

<br>
'We are all Afghans now' much like 'we are all blacks' is a positive
thing: to be oppressed gives one rights to claims for justice. . .
but I can see how this can be easily misunderstood... so apologies.<br>

<br>
That was not the intent, but on balance I agree that overall that is
a valid reading. Unreserved apologies. <br>
<br>
To be clear on my point:- an American solution (Congressional or
other US oversight) to this in relation to Internet Governance will
be insufficient for a Global resource like the Internet. <br>

Au contraire. The tone and above points may have been out of order,
but it was addressing substantive issues - asking for a broader
world view. A view rigorously denied appropriate space on this list
until recently. Even though you sometimes make common cause with
people who seek to push Third Worldists around, you have decorum and
I cannot apologise enough to you about the tenor of my response (not
excluding the apologies above). <br>

<br>
Apologies, I should be more on guard. But so you are clear... the
politics that flow from your positions are fair game for analysis,
critique and deconstruction. <br>
