[governance] ITU: Travel All The Way To Dubai... And Then We'll Decide If You Can Attend Our Meeting On Internet Governance

[Dominique Lacroix]

Well, thanks Fahd.

How hell could we improve the quality of informations provided by 
Techdirt and a poor lonesome Republican FCC commissioner?
The post is based upon quotes from a Mr. Robert Mcdowell's article.

Eg. /Reading even a partial list of proposals that could be codified 
into international law next December at a conference in Dubai is chilling:/

  * /Subject cyber security and data privacy to international control;/
  * /Allow foreign phone companies to charge fees for "international"
    Internet traffic, perhaps even on a "per-click" basis for certain
    Web destinations, with the goal of generating revenue for
    state-owned phone companies and government treasuries;/
  * /Impose unprecedented economic regulations such as mandates for
    rates, terms and conditions for currently unregulated
    traffic-swapping agreements known as "peering." /
  * /Establish for the first time ITU dominion over important functions
    of multi-stakeholder Internet governance entities such as the
    Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the nonprofit
    entity that coordinates the .com and .org Web addresses of the world;/

Mr. Robert Mcdowell : http://www.fcc.gov/leadership -

NB. He's a lawyer from Virginia, whose famous Court gets Grand Juries 
who spread generously indictments all around the world:
Megaupload; Assange coming soon.
It's a pity that suspense and surprise become unlikely with jurors drawn 
among employees of DOD, CIA, National Counterterrorism Center etc.
