[governance] Ethical principles on which the Internet is based

[Andrea Glorioso]

Dear Norbert,

Thanks for sharing this. I admit I'm puzzled by one statement in
Konstantinos' blog post (I put him in copy as I don't know if he's on this
list), i.e.:

I'm not entirely clear how one goes from the end-to-end principle (at least
as described in J.H. Saltzer, D.P. Reed and D.D. Clark, "End-to-end
arguments in system design",
http://web.mit.edu/saltzer/www/publications/endtoend/endtoend.pdf, to the
statement that "there should not be any discrimination in relation to the
services available to users".

Perhaps Konstantinos or others would care to comment / elaborate?

Ciao,

Andrea
