[governance] European Parliament

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

Ian, Elisabeth and all,

  Our EU INEGroup members are largely in agreement with the
two groups to which you mention.  As such the modalities of
EU governments seems to have recently been superseded
in respect to the "Three Strikes" rule which it is clear that France
was the ultimate culprit in such.  Ergo, it appear that EU governments
much like my own, are not willing to recognize the will of the governed
in terms of IT governance, amongst a host of other areas of public
interest.  As such it also now appears that the EU as a political and
policy determining body, has a process problems that needs addressing.
