[governance] Internet humbles UN telecoms agency

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

For example in today's newspaper I read that minister sibal is taking the ITR issue before the cabinet and carrying out additional multistakeholder discussion before ratifying specific parts of the ITRs

Which indeed is the approach of most countries that have taken the issue back home for consultation rather than completely avoiding the itrs due to the poison pill wording of some innocuous appearing clauses that have already been discussed threadbare on this list and elsewhere. 

Possibly the best way to salvage anything at all from this situation.. Especially with the existing governance structures of icann and the RIRs still in existence and substantial technical change required across the board, or at least nationwide, if a government decides to exercise some of the options they have claimed for themselves on grounds of sovereignty rather than multistakeholder cooperation

Only in a twisted society lack of dialogue and understanding will be seen as
victory and only irresponsible people celebrate failure. 

The bright side was that bad proposals about Internet were avoided, at least
for now. The bad side is that good proposals from the ITRs seem to be lost,
and the meeting proves that the rift is widening between actors. The
consequence may be more attempts for national regulation in a myriad of
topics, from national firewalls to SOPA, PIPA or domain name seizures from
the US gov. But wait: aren't the US the ultimate freedom fighters according
to .nxt?
