Dr McTim - this is the information - indeed in the form of a qusetion - that I received from the organizers and we are looking fwd to questions like your very good one to fire the discussions! BTW WITSA is very much for a private-sector led Internet (see [1]www.witsa.org).

Isn't this sort of a (mis)leading question, given that the privatisation of Internet is what has led to it's unparalleled success? What proposed policies are we talking about? IDNs? new gTLDs? Both promise tremendous economic growth (will they deliver is another question), but they certainly won't "dampen" any recovery. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek.
