[governance] Study on ICT self- and co-regulation

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

Hakikur and all,

  Institutions are often times out of touch with users.  Self regulation
or Co-regutlation if in order to be reflective, effective, and useful
must have at it's base, the approval of individual users.  Therefore
individual users, must have a direct input and determination of the
process for developing such regimes or whatever regulation policies
are to be set, or otherwise imposed.  The will of the governed must
prevail.
