Not Synced[John Curran] This is John Curran. I'm here.
-
Not Synced[Robert Atkinson] We've got the list going, so..
-
Not Syncedeverybody could chime in, although I guess the ISOC
-
Not Syncedpeople who are viewing through Isoc, we don't know them, or..
-
Not Synced[Dave Burstein] I think we have a distinguished guest,
-
Not SyncedI see Bob Hinden, who's the current chair of ISOC, is here,
-
Not Syncedso we should give him a recognition, and on that point
-
Not Synced[Eli Noam] OK [Dave Burstein].. mentionable.
-
Not Synced[Eli Noam] Alright, let's get started. Here it's 12 o clock.
-
Not SyncedWe want to do this in 2 hours or less.
-
Not SyncedSo, welcome, can you see me?
-
Not SyncedAlright. I'm Eli Noam. I'm the Drirector of the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information
-
Not Syncedand I also hear a lot of muting, of echoes.
-
Not SyncedUm, I'm a Professor at the Columbia Business School, um, and, a host,
-
Not Synceda kind of host. Dave, who is the organizer, sitting right next to me,
-
Not Syncedis the front end. We are bookended, perhaps by Milton Mueller,
-
Not Syncedwho's article on Montevideo got us started on thinking and discussing this
-
Not SyncedThank you very much, Milton, and thank you in particular Dave who put the program together.
-
Not SyncedDave tried very hard to have a balanced participation, so if you are missing
-
Not Syncedsomebody, an organization, a perspective - it's not from lack of trying.
-
Not SyncedWe wanted everyone here, within reason of course, but not everyone
-
Not Syncedwanted to go public.
-
Not SyncedSo, here we are, and we're going to talk about:
-
Not SyncedThere've been a lot of meetings - US, UN, Dubai, Bali, Baku - there's a
-
Not Syncedwhole Internet Governance industry out there.
-
Not SyncedAt Columbia we've had Hamadoun Toure 2 years in a row,
-
Not Syncedwe've had Larry Strickling.
-
Not SyncedYou know all the arguments. Some are reputable,
-
Not Syncedsome are conventional, some are anti-American with a tech-veneer.
-
Not SyncedI've heard Robert Mugabe extol Internet Freedom - Freedom from America.
-
Not SyncedAnd, on the other side, are those who think the status quo is just fine, thankyou.
-
Not SyncedSo we're determined here not to repeat those arguments, or at least to minimize them,
-
Not Syncedinstead we want to brainstorm to see what the new ideas are,
-
Not Syncedwhat the new options are, and we'll discuss them here today,
-
Not Syncedor at least, try to discuss them.
-
Not SyncedSo I'd like to pass on the microphone to DAve Burstein who put this together.
-
Not SyncedThank you very much, Dave.
-
Not Synced[Dave Burstein] Ya. Milton Mueller is the one that got this started,
-
Not SyncedBob Atkinson saw his note there and said we should do something about it,
-
Not Syncedand I agreed. Eli looked at me and said
-
Not Synced"Would you do it?", and I said
-
Not Syncedand I think we've got some interesting people here.
-
Not SyncedAre my slides up? Yes they are.
-
Not SyncedIs there a third way for the Internet, neither the US not the UN but independent?
