[governance] Initiating discussion on "Internet

[Ronda Hauben]

It is good to hear you are starting a newsgroup on IG4D.

But I hope it will discuss a broad range of IG4D issues, not limiting
itself to what you refer to as Internet Authoritarianism.

I hope it will discuss the significance of the new forms of democracy
made possible for the developing or developed
societies utilizing the Internet .

In South Korea last summer netizens online recognized the problem that
lowering the quality of beef imports into
their country because of pressure from the US and a change of how beef
is categorized under the World Animal
Health Organization (OIE), and there were over 100 days of candlelight
demonstrations to protest this imposition of neoliberal pressure on
the people of South Korea.

I have an article describing the important role of netizens in these
developments that I just did for OhmyNews International.
