[governance] U.N. takeover of the Internet must be stopped, U.S. warns

[Marilia Maciel]

Regardless of the clear problems that underlay ITU process, it is always
amazing how this issue always comes down to good govs X bad govs, with the
US government playing the benevolent hero and the protector of liberties.
Their own regulatory initiatives, ACTA, SOPA, PIPA say otherwise...
 Moreover, if dialogue is to be established, it is important to recognize
the obvious: a) there is no way to justify US privilege position with
ICANN. That needs to be changed; b) there are global issues being discussed
by small groups of actors. That needs to be changed.

By admitting that we would be clearing the ground for a possible dialogue.
How can we improve governance without disturbing the functioning of the
Internet and how we can include actors that need to be included,
governments and other stakeholders?
