Re: [ga] politicisation of the internet

[RBHauptman@xxxxxxx]

Because right now it is only ONE government that is running the whole show,  
the USA.  It seems rather facile that other governments don't like  that. And 
want to change that.   Not quite sure why you and  others don't understand 
that.  Why should they want to keep the status quo  when it leaves them out.  
Makes perfect and logical sense.  Darn  rationale too.

It is also imperative to build safeguards to ensure there is no politicisation 
 of technical decision-making, slowing of innovation or scope for government  
control. Any alternative that compromises on the free-wheeling nature of the  
internet must be eschewed. With apologies to Paul McCartney, weâd urge the  
meeting in Tunis to âlet it be, let it be..â

There already is politicisation of the decisions being made. How will adding 
more  government involvement make it less  so?
