Klaus

Your ironic "story" puts flesh on my call for clarity and for engagement.

> Nearly one fifth of the world's population lives in China. The chairwoman of the Internet Society of China, Mme Hu, brought best wished and congratulations to INET 2012. In her speach Mme Hu mentioned that the anniversary of the [editor's note: international] Internet Society should be used as an opportunity to strengthen and extent the long lasting good cooperation between both organizations. "It is essential" Mme Hu said "that we take extreme care and any effort to ensure that the Internet does not break apart and will continue to foster the exchange of information, contribute to the wealth of all people and helps to ensure peace on earth." She mentioned that the Internet society of China strongly supports the [editor's note: international] Internet Society's mission to make the Internet accessible for everyone. Mme Hu was a member of the UN research program “Science, Technology and Innovation”, and has been a member of WGIG (Working Group on Internet Governance) in 2004-2005. The Internet Society of China is in charge of providing important central services for the Chinese Internet as there are Domain Name Services and policy enforcement. Lynn St. Amour, President/CEO of the [editor's note: international] Internet Society thanked Mme Hu emphasizing Mme Hu's long lasting engagement for the Chinese Internet, which might not even exist without Mme Hu's continued commitment. Both organizations signed an agreement on closer cooperation while disregarding minor differences of opinion with regard to Internet regulation. Unfortunately the tense program of INET2012 gave only room for a few questions.
