[governance] NN Workshop Thread

[Ian Peter]

I just heard that today is the 40th anniversary of the original John
Lennon/Yoko Ono love-in. Obviously the good vibes have spread to our
discussions here!

Yes, yes, yes. I like that formulation. Would love to be on such a panel.
This must be "agree with Parminder Day."

In fact so interesting, that I think we should have a workshop on this issue
alone. 'NN - What is the GLOBAL angle on it'. In any case it is always
better to have more focussed issues for workshops.

I do often wonder that if US, or US plus EU, decide that such-and-such NN
regulation is necessary to be observed by the concerned actors, would that
not set the default global regime for NN. Do developing countries - even a
relatively larger and more powerful one  like India - have any serious
options but to accept the default regime. 

What NN issues extend across the global Internet, or are likely to so
extend? What accordingly are NN issues that are best dealt by a globally
democratic system - and if there isnt one at present, the problems that such
a situation presents. 

Discussing NN in terms of global Internet policy will be in accordance of
the central mandate of the IGF as a policy dialogue forum for global
Internet policy issues. parminder
