Meet the Man Who Will Save the Internet 369
UltimaGuy writes to tell us The Register is running an interesting piece about Masood Khan, chairman of the sub-committee that is takling many of the difficult questions about internet governance. Mr. Khan has been able to draw enormous respect for many of the participatory nations and seems to have a very direct style of management. From the article: "I would encourage you all not to focus on general themes of internet governance but instead go to the heart of the matter," were Khan's opening words. And then he listed them. "The question of a future mechanism, the question of oversight, and the paradigm of co-operation amongst all stakeholders."

the planet, but either one works.

Yeah, apparently the Communists choosing Pepsi was the decisive factor. The weapons race, economic problems, the war in Afghanistan -- in the end, none of these really mattered. In reality (and what a bizarre reality it was), it was the wrath of Coca Cola Company that, when unleashed against the Pepsi-drinking Commies, caused the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Correct. The US Federal Government is the nascent World State - Washington (and New York) are the places the whole world pays attention to. The UN is only a distraction and talking shop as you put it. The irony is all the "small government" conservatives that keep blindly voting to create Bush's New World Order. This isn't much different from Clinton's NWO, either - there is one agenda here folks. Unocal, Carlyle Group, Bush, Saudi oil, bombing Serbia, it's all one nasty deal.

Anyway, the UN can have the Internet when they pry it from my cold dead fingers.
