That reminds me, In an earlier posting you lamented that Google did not 
have a vote with regard to deciding on the ITRs. So, it is that you want 
Google and ISOC to be able to vote along with governments while global 
regulation is being made. (This is not technical coordination, or 
standards development, this is actual regulation, law and public 
policy.) Accordingly, do you also want Google and other private 
companies to *vote* when Internet related regulation, laws and policies 
are being made in your country? Should they also sit inside regulatory 
bodies? And also, what about in other sectors, education, health, 
agriculture etc....

While we keep on asking for MSism, and more MSism ,it will greatly help 
in making our demand to lay down clearly what is meant by MSism, and 
what exactly do we seek. My attempts to obtain a clear answer to this 
question for many years now on this list has not been successful. Still 
hoping...
