Next, LDMF present comment: re who is or should be 'on board':
:
The above is very useful across many contexts.

And,  reserving comment on  concepts such as "multi-stakeholder," "net
neutrality," and other current interesting concepts regarding who is or
should be 'at the table,' whether for local discussions or wide
CyberInclusiveness,  kindly accept here the following post from a different
list.

"Excellent forum discussion, and/but let us please bear in mind that "net
neutrality" cannot really exist unless add: individuals in] specific
populations are not excluded, such as those with different processing
options - very notably persons with disabilities impacting access,
origination, and equality, and perhaps the more-young and more-older, for
whom hard and soft e-bridges may prove a boon.

Perhaps this is but "preaching to the choir here" as i*nclusion* principles
are axiomatic for  many,  but there can be slippage in any domain - hence
this sidebar.

Thanking All and extending very best wishes, LDMF.
Dr. Linda D. Misek-Falkoff.
