[governance] COE on IG

[William Drake]

Hi

The Council of Europe just held a ministerial conference in Iceland at  
which inter alia a secretariat paper was presented on IG.  Inter alia,  
it concludes

"In order to fulfil their responsibility to ensure the public service  
value of the Internet, and to protect the right to freedom of  
expression and information on the Internet, states may need to enter  
into interstate arrangements comparable to those that apply to certain  
natural resources or risks."

So some sort of intergovernmentalism, with the emphasis on some sort--- 
they're as unclear on the options as anyone else.
