[governance] Key contributions - come from all sorts of places..

[George Sadowsky]

All,

I adopt the broad view of Internet governance, and for me a key issue 
is the extent to which Internet governance concerns are national in 
scope and the extent to which they are international.  Understanding 
the locus of any problem is key to understanding which mechanisms can 
be used to ameliorate or fix it.

So Bill's comment regarding national vs. global is quite pertinent.

Many of us believe that 99.9% of the Internet community just want the 
Internet to work.  They want the availability of affordable access, 
with a right to confidentiality of communication.

I believe that it is of critical importance to understand clearly the 
impediments to this goal, and for each such impediment, the venue in 
which they can be fixed and therefore should be addressed.  GIPI has 
made a start in this direction, other organizations have clearly 
contributed also.

I do not find a lot of discussion on this list responsive to this 
goal. Perhaps I'm just out of step with the list.

George
