I certainly didn't have Human Rights law especially in mind (even though 
earlier correspondents mentioned it), I'm interested here in a method to 
distinguish between those things which we need to think of as *Internet* 
governance, and those things which are perhaps Universal governance and 
the Internet is simply part of that universe.

Only then can we discuss the kind of detail you go into later (and which 
I have not previously commented on very much as far as I recall, so I'm 
not sure how you deduce my alleged position with such certainty).
