[governance] FW: [IP] ITU gone wild -- an invited (by me) note from Tony Rutkowski (comments welcomed :-) )

[Ian Peter]

Lee, is that Cowboys (as in those who hold power now) vs Indians (those 
lacking power in this particular circumstance but holding certain moral 
rights not respected by the cowboys?)

Certainly this looks like a battle between the Internet status quo, 
(represented by USG, ISOC, Google et al) and a few nation states and their 
organisation who feel disenfranchised by the growth of the Internet.

Well, let the games begin! I'm sure both parties feel they have God on their 
side..

PS I along with quite a few others here do not believe it is in civil 
society's interests to take sides in this decades old battle. By all means 
argue for ITU to open up its closed meetings, but I do not think an 
alignment of opposition to ITU per se is sensible strategically.

I recommend the more nuanced (?) recent Hollywood B movie -  'Cowboys and 
Aliens.'
In case you missed it, and sorry then for giving away the plot, Cowboys, of 
the black and white hat variety, and "Indians," all join together to battle 
the space invaders ; )

Hmmm... Cowboys and ``Indians``... I like a good shoot-em-up especially when
the good guys are all wearing white hats and the bad guys, black ones...
Makes figuring out who to root for so much easier :)

The attachment is perhaps of interest to some, re WCIT, from old pal, and
ex-FCC, ex-ITU, and ex-Verisigner Tony Rutkowski. ; )

Hi Dave,

Does this do it for you?
It should be popular. :-)

For noting, I ran the secretariat
for the last WCIT, and helped
the Secretary-General at the
time develop and negotiate
the provisions in his hometown
of Melbourne.  I also led the
ITU-T cybersecurity standards
group over the past four years.
The turf is all too familiar.

cheers,
tony
