[governance] FINAL? DRAFT statement on enhanced cooperation

[Paul Lehto]

In my view, this is the context or close to the preamble that sets the
stage for understanding all the rest, and something very close to it
should be at or near the beginning:

"The question of governance regarding the Internet is not if there
will be governance, and the question is not whether there will be
governance regarding the Internet.  Instead, the question is whether
there will be democratic laws of Internet goverance, or whether by
default the laws of Internet governance will be laws set via private
contracts that are defined entirely by business entities presently
active on the web, and then enforced by public courts around the
world, at public expense.  The question of internet governance at the
cutting edge, then, is whether the Internet will develop more in the
direction of international democracy or whether international
democracy is rendered increasingly irrelevant by the forces of private
law via contract and by market forces, and by its own abdication
and/or failure to apply universal laws and principles with very wide
consensus support to a relatively new field of human development
called the Internet."

Paul Lehto, J.D.
