RES: [governance] India's communications minister - root server misunderstanding (still...)

[Vanda UOL]

Dear, since I had lots of opportunities to deal with " authorities"  with
really low knowledge of Internet ( remember Brazil´s positions at GAC some
years ago?)  I can tell you that the only way is to promote  large
knowledge/ capacitation programs  for the levels below the Minister in the
"technical" Ministries. 
 These persons are the ones to tell what to say to their Ministers, so once
these levels has enough knowledge we will stop to see  " strange"
explanations from those "leaders". 
 Best,

I will admit I find the level of knowledge demonstrated in the responses
from a "minister of state for communications and information technology" in
that interview quite distressing.  For those more attuned to political
realities than I, how should the 'technical community' go about improving
the level of understanding of the basic systems used by the Internet?
