[governance] Inputs for synthesis paper

[Jaco Aizenman]

Dear Tapani,

Agree with your position.

The next question may be, who has a right to *exist* at that place, at the
Internet...?.

One answer is that humans have that right.

This *Internet existence right,* is protected in the Costa Rican *virtual
personality* fundamental right (Internet Bill of Rights).

Best regards,

Jaco
