Governance Debate</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><BR>Hi all,<BR><BR>Please note that a number of new WGIG
papers have been posted. Please see<BR><A
href="http://www.wgig.org">http://www.wgig.org</A> and follow the links, plus
an explanation, or go<BR>directly to <A
href="http://www.wgig.org/meeting-april.html">http://www.wgig.org/meeting-april.html</A><BR><BR>These
documents outline the positions and various recommendations coming<BR>from the
WGIG and give an idea of what their feedback to the UN Secretary<BR>General
and final input to WSIS in Tunis will be.<BR><BR>A scary point to note
regarding IP address administration are comments such<BR>as:<BR><BR>" Although
it can be said that the current management system and<BR>distribution of
responsibilities for number allocation has worked so far,<BR>the rapid
increase of demand and utilization of the internet requires a<BR>review of the
current numbering management approach to ensure
equitable<BR>distribution of resources and access for all. "<BR><BR>Please
take some time to go through the site, read the various papers and<BR>make
comments via the online forms - we need to protect the internet and<BR>keep it
from being over-politicised and at worst "governmentalised"<BR><BR>Brian<BR>--
