The cognitive dissonance it conveys is not helpful for those of us who are in the day-by-day trenches preaching for more modern approaches to intellectual property management.

A first analysis by ISOC could probably be done in a couple weeks and we'd love to have a discussion in the chapters list once the proposal is ready. Make it all drafts and permanent-beta, the Internet way.

>>> There are some basic characteristics about the Internet that really matter:
>>> 
>>> The first is the Internet’s global reach and integrity . As an Internet user, I have to feel confident that all of the endpoints are connected--that when I type in www.rabobank.com , that’s actually the site I go to, and not somewhere else. It’s a little like the seal on a bottle of Tylenol, which reassures me that there has been no tampering with what’s inside. This integrity is partly a result of a technical specification called DNSSEC, which has been in the news a bit lately because of the impact that the SOPA legislation would have had on DNSSEC. I'll come back to SOPA in a few minutes.
>>> 
>>> The second core Internet principle is something we at the Internet Society call permission-less innovation . Said another way, this is the ability of anyone to create a new service on the Internet without having to get approval from a governing body. Without thinking about this too long, any of us could come up with a long list of online services that might not exist if scientists and entrepreneurs needed to vet their ideas with, say, their local phone company, their national government or the United Nations.
>>> 
>>> If Tim Berners-Lee had to ask for permission, would the World-Wide Web exist? Would the idea of a Web “spider” have been rejected, cutting off the development of Internet search services such as Google? Would Facebook have 850 million users and be headed for an IPO that could value it at $100 billion? How about Wikipedia and Twitter and Web mapping software and downloadable music and hundreds of other things we take for granted in our daily lives?
>>> 
>>> A third thing we must preserve is the accessibility of the Internet . This goes farther than people’s being able to consume whatever legal content they want; it extends to their ability to contribute content, add a server, or attach a new network, as long as they follow the Internet's technical standards.
>>> 
>>> And the fourth thing to safeguard is the Internet’s spirit of collaboration . In addressing Internet security issues, we must find a way to get all stakeholders involved, from users, to those of you in the Internet research community, to commercial companies, to policymakers. Solutions developed in isolation either don’t solve the problem or cause more harm than good. In some cases they can create significant problems that undermine the stability of the Internet.
