I follow Robin in supporting this draft from Milton.<br>
<br>
I think the following section is crucial to get over some inherited
problems:<br>
<br>
<blockquote><span
style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"
id="docs-internal-guid-7cbc8729-7691-9051-ca15-c04cfb56e5d6">In
global Internet governance, the quest for ‘sovereignty’ is
futile. Governments can and do regulate some aspects of Internet
policy in their own jurisdictions, but effective and beneficial
policies often need to be global or transnational, especially
policies pertaining to the coordination of critical Internet
resources.</span><br>

In addition, of course, to state the role of civil society, which
is not only "on the local community" level.<br>
<br>
- <br>
<br>
A personal note: I am at present traveling, so I have Internet
access (which I do not have some 10 km from here where I live.
Next to the restaurant where I sit there are 5 telecom towers in a
population center - all fighting each other to get more customers.
If they would cooperate in sharing some of their antenna towers,
they could move one close to where I live...).<br>
<br>
I remember the years when the "digital divide" was high on many
agendas. Now these discuss "net neutrality" and "privacy" and all
kind of other important issues. But I feel we, who do not have
have Internent access (not even wireless where we live) should not
be forgotten.<br>
<br>
I got an offer from one ISP to connect me: US$8,000 for a fiber
cable - completely out of my and others' financial possibilities.
That is just stating how important it is still to overcome the
digital divide between those who have access, high speed broadband
etc.etc., and those who do not have access.<br>
