You have done a good job, and, with some hesitation, I vote yes.

I would like to suggest, however, as others have done, that "Internet" 
be consistently capitalized (I hope inconsistency there wasn't
intended as a compromise...). People might wish to take a look at
"internet vs. Internet" in http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2828.html
on this point.

My second major caveat is procedural, echoing McTim:
doing a major rewrite and then immediate consensus call is not good.
In the present case, however, I think this is better than doing
no statement at all and time doesn't allow much further debate.
So, yes it is.
