So at the bottom line innovation may overcome the need for net
neutrality? (May be for a limited period of time only?) This is the
last sentence in the interview. Anyone really surprised about the

Eric, what do you mean by this: [speaking as a chapter member, not a
Trustee]??? Do you have a different view as a (chapter) member than as
a Trustee? What is your position as a Trustee? I mean, you should have
one. Probably I'm not the only one who's curious.

Fred (you asked for comments):
http://www.internetsociety.org/net-neutrality (rather not helpful.
Does not explain what the critical issues are)

http://www.isoc.org/isoc/chapters/guidelines/docs/netneutrality_toolkit.pdf
(Much better.) Also very good:
www.isoc.org/isoc/conferences/opennetwork/docs/ford-wentworth.pdf
and there is a whole lot of stuff out there on the net that is even
more concrete.
