[discuss] Internet governance recommended reading

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I have always written it that way.  Think I even used that 
capitalization in some of the early IGF (i wish it was IgF) documents 
when I was on the secretariat, though I am not sure whether they got 
'corrected' by the powers that be who did the final edits for UNDESA.

I think it is an important signifier as it indicates that the governance 
is subordinate to the Internet and its realities.  Just like Internet 
protocols or Internet architecture.
