[governance] NTIA announcement on JPA

[Milton L Mueller]

I am getting a little concerned about this apparent intimidation and
fear of the nationalist forces in the US when it comes to Internet
governance. It can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. 

So I take your bet: 50 bucks the next administration, if it is an Obama
Presidency, will change something related to the JPA in September 2009.

That means I will have to buy you a pizza and a beer in Geneva, if my
grasp of cost of living and currency exchange rates is accurate.
