Right. IG is just hitting the mainstream fan in Germany and most of the
EU, especially the issues of divergent national laws on the content side
of this global communication infrastructure.

We need to have soundbytes ready that the layman as well as the yellow
press will understand.

End of cosy schmoozing with UN officials, begin of real-world politics.
Not sure I like it, but that's the challenge ahead. In the long-term
perspective, I think it's a good thing that IG is developing into its
own policy field after all.
