Norbert,<BR><BR>the reason I originally got involved with this internet
governance stuff was <BR>that nationalisation = balkanisation in the Internet
sphere.<BR><BR>International agreements would overcome this and lead to more
sensible <BR>stable addressing of critical issues. We are not going to get
nations out of <BR>the picture but we may be able to get them to act
collaboratively and set <BR>principles and protocols for addressing internet
issues.<BR><BR>That would not be full on "multistakeholder" governance, but it
would be a <BR>significant advance on the current unilateral action status
quo.<BR><BR>It's probably more feasible than what most people imaging
multistakeholder <BR>to be. We should be encouraging governments to act
collaboratively with each <BR>other, as well as with other
stakeholders.<BR><BR>Ian Peter<BR><BR>-----Original Message----- <BR>From:

<mueller@syr.edu>:<BR><BR>> I would have to reject the way you presume
that the society = the<BR>> state. That is the whole point of my argument -
they are not the<BR>> same, _especially_ in cyberspace. I also would have to
question your<BR>> assumption that "asymmetries" (not entirely clear what you
mean by<BR>> this, but I assume you mean inequalities) are overcome or
mitigated<BR>> via the existence of states. Wow, what an assumption. So
in the<BR>> world of states, there is no asymmetry between USA and Uruguay,
or<BR>> between China and Laos. Hmmmm.<BR>><BR>> But of course, such
problems are not easy to overcome. No one said<BR>> they
were.<BR>><BR>><BR>> From: Diego Rafael Canabarro
