[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

#2 is as McTim says, the current status quo but across a variety of international organizations including intergovernmental ones. 

The only question is whether the itu feels it should have what is more or less a controlling interest in this process.

I'm only trying to have it one way.   I feel gov'ts have far too much
control over what we say and do online.  I don't want an intergovernmental
body setting global Internet policy.

Accepting #2 which as I have said before is the current status quo does not
mean that one accepts the need for further global Internet Governance
mechanisms.

I do not find #3 acceptable.

I've been singing the same song for years, what is it that you don't
understand about my position?
