How to Save the Net: Keep It Open by VINTON G. CERF

For all of its history, the Internet has enjoyed the fruits of an openness principle: the idea that anyone can reach any site online and that information and data should be freely exchangeable. Applications such as YouTube and Skype have been introduced without the need to seek permission of any Internet service provider or government. Nearly 3 billion users enjoy myriad mobile apps and other Internet-based services thanks to the open standards, common interfaces, and rich connectivity that permissionless innovation has delivered.

Sailing Backwards: WSIS 10+ Avoids Entering Unchartered Territory by Wolfgang Kleinw?chter

Early August 2014 the UN General Assembly agreed on the procedures how to review the results of the UN WSIS from 2005. According to the draft resolution, the WSIS 10+ event will be a high level intergovernmental meeting in New York in December 2015. This meeting will adopt an "intergovernmental agreed outcome document"... The outcome document will be negotiated by governments in an "intergovernmental negotiation process". Non-governmental stakeholders from the private sector, civil society and technical community will be invited for "informal interactive consultation" in a parallel process. Wait a minute? What are "informal interactive consultations" in a parallel process?

In addition to filling the top two spots on our latest weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart, those domains took up lofty positions on our Year to Date County Code Top 100 Sales Chart (the 2nd chart on the page this link leads to).
