Internet grip by undemocratic giant private multinationals continually acquiring or killing emerging competition and innovations should also be told off. We have recent evidence of such corporations going into bed with governments to achieve their mutual interests. What necessitated the Brazil meeting in the first place. The internet is no longer what it used to be and are being made to believe it is. Users face terrible control threats by mega corporations. ------------------------------ On Tue, Mar 4, 2014 11:45 PM MSK Grace Githaiga wrote:

On an important Internet governance submission

If you are interested in how the Internet is run, you are probably aware that a critical meeting of the world's governments will be taking place in Brazil in April, called NetMundial.

Submissions to that meeting will be received until the end of this week and a key one will be from the so-called '/1net' initiative. Earlier today, /1net published its draft statement in the form of an online survey and encouraged everyone in the Internet community to provide their thoughts.

Sadly, the deadline is extremely short - you only have today to respond - but the two-page survey is simple and should take five minutes or less to fill in.

So if you want to add your voice to those that are calling for, among other things, limits on online surveillance, a globalization of the Internet's infrastructure and an assurance that future decisions about the Internet are made by everyone and not just governments, then you can fill in the survey online.

For more information on /1net, go to http://1net.org/. There is also a post about the statement and survey on its online forum.
