[Chapter-delegates] An old story about freedom of the Internet

[Christian de Larrinaga]

Olivier 

The agenda is a time travel capsule back to 1990. Vive Minitel! This is neither about networks nor even connectivity or capacity building but just assuming the application, service and policy agenda (short term) can dictate the development of inter-networks without breaking the very foundation upon which the discussion is being held. It is a substantially naive thesis. 

All is not entirely lost as ISOC can talk to Noele Kroes, Larry Lessig, Jimmy Wales, Eric Schmidt, Nigel Shadbolt and many others with some clue on the agenda to remind the conference that that connectivity based on open model is in itself the key benefit that makes Internet the platform that has attracted so many and enabled so much that has powered societal, investment and GDP growth. 

Perhaps Marcus Kummer has some advice to offer us? There is no reason why ISOC cannot work behind the scenes to help those on the agenda. I am happy to assist in anyway I can.
