Dear Eduardo,

i was very happy to read a answer from Peru. We need here in Latin 
America the open discussion about the structure of the Internet, what we 
need and what we want. Then we can part of the big international discussion.

IGF, NM (NMI is different), ISF are answers to a real situation. The 
most people in our world don't like this centralisation and monopolizing 
of the technical bases. And, of course, all this institutions, was we 
have to manage the "Internet" are a result of this technical 
definitions. And they reproduce and defend this structures.

For me, in the IGF, NM, ISF, ISOC and many other we can find a process 
of self-organizing. But alway we have to be clear about, what we need, 
before we can go to a new destination.

Wolfgang Kleinwaechter initiate this handbook as a summary for all the 
different positions and perspectives in this different groups. i like 
this idea very much. And i hope, that this text collection can really 
bring out the essential elements of the various groups expressed.

The unity in diversity. This is our process. the unity with respect to a 
free global communication system for all people of our planet. The 
diversity in the ideas and suggestions for practical implementation.

The technology is always the base to realize the transportsystem for 
digital data. And if this technology is a instrument for centralized and 
monopolized groups, then we are always slaves. Then never we can say, "a 
InterNet is possible".

In the IETF we have the RFC's (request for comment". This is a very 
important instrument for us to distribute and discuss our technical 
principles, based on our philosophical principles. But this comes from 
Jonathan Postel and we know, how strong he was attacked and blocked in 
his work.

"Occupy the Internet". Yes, with all its consequences. Never we can say: 
"Papa, i need the technical components" like "Mama, i am hungry". No, we 
have to end our passivity, our wait on the activity of others. We have 
to do it yourself.

I will translate this answer to spanish and then send to my friends in 
Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador and to you.

many greetings, willi
La Paz, Bolivia
