[governance] Managing the Internet in the Public Interest

[Seth Johnson]

Hi Michael: it's true that moving finally back to that side of our
telecom policy reopens an orientation that acknowledges (and is based
in) public aspects of policy, an orientation that has long been
assiduously barred from the policy discourse (before roughly the last
year and a half).  What isn't clear is whether he's just using it as a
source of authority that connects the domestic policy context to an
international context that overrides the way the law has been applied,
or whether he will covertly begin to apply it on its actual grounds to
do things right again (or whether, hopefully, this will happen somehow
by force of the new type of logic that's now implied and operative,
once we go to that side of the law).
