[governance] U.S. Politics - Barack Obama's Pastor

[David Goldstein]

You can broaden internet governance to include just about anything and everything given the impact of the internet has on everyday life. However postings like this just clutter the list and make it difficult for a lot of people to cope with the dozens, or even hundreds, of emails that fill their in-boxes every day.

Just because something is available through the internet doesn't make it a candidate for internet governance.

Cheers
David

What does it have to do with IG ...

Well if you don't belive that Racism is Alive-and-Well on the Internet and its
global infrastructure, and that those whom are choosen to leed IG 'do-not' come
along with socio-economic-hyper-ethno-centric baggage, and that their
occupation of such positions are judically color-blind under their Robes. ...
If you truly belive that, then I guess your right. 

I don't, and as Icann go forward with its plans (be them as they materialise)
of auctioning TLDs et. al. their programs, you may see:
Dot.Baptist
Dot.Jewish
Dot.Christian
Dot.Catholic
Dot.Protistent
Dot.Hundu
Dot.Muslim
Dot.Budist
Dot.Detity
Dot.White
Dot.Black
Dot.hyper-ethno-centric-socio-poly-economic-coaltion(s)
etc...

Here's a few topic for the IGF workshops:
IGC workshop: A religious agenda for Internet.
IGC workshop: A racial agenda for Internet.
IGC workshop: A socio-poly-economic agenda for Internet.

Like it or not, IG will have to touch these issues in one form or another,
IG will effect these issues in one form or another.

It would be quite unfortunate for this list to be used solely for IG
discussions of Commerce and Technical issues. (That's called Icann's: ALAC)

The CPSR must have to courage to address these Worldly realities. In
particularly when they are guised under the auspice of the UN WSIS IGF.
