On NN workshop RE: Re: [governance] Three IGC workshops ) NN FYI DIPLO

[Jean-Louis FULLSACK]

Dear members of the list

Network neutrality was very high on the agenda of the list some time ago and it would be interesting to have a retro-look on the rich exchanges that took place at that time.

More concretely,I fully agree Fouad's proposal for a better balance of perspectives. The US reference isn't universally valid for a lot of reasons and even lesser in DCs. Therefore inputs from emerging countries (Brazil, India? ...) are far more appropriate to the debate.
May be that some interesting ideas and general concepts are to be found in the work undertaken under the auspices of the Council of Europe.  Please see the attached document as one example for "dealing with NN".

Best regards
