<DIV>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If I might politely remind, that you CAN fall off 
the floor. However poorly things have been run in the past up to now, they 
could be run worse if handed over to the UN, a very possible "solution" for 
Obama given his self-perception as bringing answers for the world over and 
above the USA. Like when quoted in Germany as saying, "Now is OUR time". With a 
number of nations clamoring for the UN to run the internet now, he might find 
it a&nbsp;trade-off for more loans to print more money against. Yes, I am 
pessimistic, but that does not make the scary ideas any less&nbsp;possible or 
probable.</DIV>

the PRO-IP law which, among<BR>&gt; other things, established the office of the 
IP Enforcement Coordinator. The<BR>&gt; Georgetown chapter of Students for Free 
Culture is trying to encourage<BR>&gt; President-Elect Obama to pick a 
candidate for this position that will<BR>&gt; embrace reasonable, comprehensive 
intellectual property policy and hopefully<BR>&gt; bring some sense to the 
debate in Washington about IP.<BR>&gt;<BR>&gt; We've started a Facebook Cause 
that has more than 200 members and other<BR>&gt; causes to support individuals 
who would be potential candidates for Obama's<BR>&gt; selection. The cause is
