[governance] A Wave of the Watch List, and Speech Disappears

[Milton L Mueller]

Bret, 
I think a better way to ask that question is, how can we, via Internet
governance and global public policy making, better realize the potential
of the Internet to offer global services without ensnaring end
users/customers in the idiosyncracies of territorial jurisdictions? How
can we create a global -- and globally accountable -- "jurisdiction"
within which these services can be offered?
