<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=us-ascii"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;">Dear all,<div><br></div><div>In case it is of interest, there's a CircleID post from me on why we need to have more clarity on what is, and is not, within the scope of "Internet Governance." I propose a way to resolve the vagueness that has bedeviled this term for 10 years built around the concept that the data that is carried by the Internet and the network that carries that data are separate things, and that data should not be a part of "Internet Governance" because it is dealt with in many other venues.</div><div><br></div><div>I hope it is of interest. It is on the front page at the moment but the direct link is <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20140328_internet_governance_what_does_it_mean_anyway/">http://www.circleid.com/posts/20140328_internet_governance_what_does_it_mean_anyway/</a>. <br><div>
