[discuss] CSTD report/survey on the hundreds of places Internet policy is being worked on

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

Very true. There is a lot of talk of orphans but those referred to most often - child protection, law enforcement, tax, etc - are those which are amongst the least 'orphan' issues that exist.

While there are some issues which are not being worked on, a good part of this problem is when the person/entity asking the question is unaware of the work being undertaken.  That is not a orphan issue as much as a disparity of knowledge on work being undertaken on issues and I'm afraid were using orphan as an umbrella term.  The CSTD work is exceedingly helpful in bridging the latter problem and identifying where the gap actually exists...

Global internet policy lives an interesting life between Los Angeles and Geneva. After 10 year of UN involvement in the Internet sphere, many orphans remain and happen to be very local indeed, as the many "GAPS" of the document  "appears to indicate", without even speaking of access pricing, last mile competition or lack thereof, monopolies, duopolies, bottlenecks and private or public network investment so necessary to prodie universal access.
