[discuss] Continuation of problem no. 1 specification, and what could be next steps

Sun Jan 26 19:55:55 UTC 2014

Hi,

While it may not be an issue at the International level of Internet 
governance, something I still don't fully accept, it may relevant at the 
regional or national levels of Ig.  In so far as there are specific 
issues with regards to the Internet  and how it, within the marketplace, 
is regulated in a country, why isn't it a national Ig issue.

I don't see why correcting the "domestic market (mis)regulation"  for 
some defintion of mis [free market excess, central state control, 
negligence, ...] isn't the epitome of a Internet governance issue at the 
national and perhaps trade treaty level.
