[governance] Contribution to NetMundial

[Louis Pouzin (well)]

Hi all,

Here attached is the contribution I made to the Brazil meeting as an
individual. All opinions are welcome.

Caveat: inter-paragraph space in the NetMundial site is rather
unpredictable.

*Internet Governance; what next ?*
Abstract.

Internet Governance has been the topic of endless discussion since the WSIS
preparation was launched in 2001. Most States insist on having equal say in
decisions bearing not only on technical matters, but also on public policy,
and economic and societal matters, at both national and international
level. However, the United States Government (USG) remains fully determined
to retain unilateral control over the internet. While discussions may go on
for any number of years, countries and citizens around the world cannot
afford to remain sitting ducks unable to control their future. This paper
explores possible actions they may take, without the USG approval, to
protect their human rights and sovereignty, and to acquire some bargaining
power in the internet realpolitik.
