[discuss] Governmental participation (Was: Problem definition 1, v5)

[Milton L Mueller]

> Governmental public policies take on two forms:
> 1. laws, directives, regulations
> 2. participation in internet technical coordination bodies.

Jeanette: Not sure what you mean by this. "Participation" in a body is not the same as making or setting public policy. In what sense is a decision, say, to send someone to an ARIN or RIPE meeting a form of "governmental public policy"?
