Bertrand -  

  Apologies for a very belated reply, but I've been thinking about the above text and 
  wondering if there is a fundamental difference between "dealing in a distributed 
  manner with the governance OF the Internet" and "a venue for issues related to the 
  governance ON the Internet", and if, as a result, we in the community are making a
  significant mistake in referring to both on occasions as "Internet Governance"...

Thoughts?

Disclaimers:  My views alone.  The term "Internet" in the above refers to the unique
                    global communications capability based upon the "Internet Protocol."
