Very simply :-): in reading the statement of the European Commission of
15 March which you quoted (available at
<a href="http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_STATEMENT-14-70_en.htm">
http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_STATEMENT-14-70_en.htm</a>) which
clearly says the Commission will work "<b>together with the US</b>
(emphasis added)" and all global stakeholders. I'm at a loss to
understand how you would interpret that as a non-government-led
solution.<br><br>
This is not an objection, to the contrary, it is a support, provided the
Commission democratically represents us as it used to. We European voters
are like the Brazilian ones, we expect our Parliament, Government, our
Continental structures to protect us from the possible bad effects and to
help us benefit from the good effects that globalization might mean. So
we are found of this kind of things one calls the Human Rights, in
particular in this case the Article 21 and 28. I must say that I have
some difficulty to match them with the MSism along the retiring NTIA. In
particular I do not perceive easily how the ICANN/IANA globalization
entitles me "to a social and international order in which the rights
and freedoms set forth in this Declaration can be fully realized". I
see no nationally based democratic procedure within ICANN and IANA, I
observe that on this list my constitutional duties to protect the digital
environment are not protected (ex. discriminiation against free VGN
discussion, which are necessary to the "free and full development of
my personality", one whish to subject us to limitations that are not
determined by law (solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and
respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just
requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a
democratic society), because one wishes to curb my rights and freedoms in
a way contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations (in
establishing a new international digital order foreign to UN
governements).<br><br>
I am sure that you will help us to the maximum to clarify this complicate
situation and you Nelly will win our renewed support for a bold Euopean
action to protect our interest in a few weeks. We expect the EC to count
the European multitude among the global stakeholders (*) it intends to
work with.<br><br>
Best!<br>

(*) I have just a small problem. I use to use
<a href="http://register.consilium.europa.eu/doc/srv?l=EN&t=PDF&gc=true&sc=false&f=ST%206655%202008%20INIT" eudora="autourl">
http://register.consilium.europa.eu/doc/srv?l=EN&t=PDF&gc=true&sc=false&f=ST%206655%202008%20INIT</a>
for the consolidated version of the Lisabon Treaty. I made a search in
it for the word "stakeholder" and did not find that term. Would
you have a European legal reference defining what are what the Commission
is going to work with on behalf of the Member States and of their
Citizens. This would obviously help, as well as the legally accepted
HR.21 process which will organize them.</body>
