No, because the error I commented on was in the original article. The World Wide Web is not the Internet. Agreed but the question still remains as to whether there should be concerns about reputed proposals for the ITU to be more involved with the Internet. The Devil is in the details. There's nothing wrong with the ITU being involved with developing standards, but it should certainly not be involved in enforcing local political prejudices. The censorship proposals would be equally bad if they came from, e.g., ICANN, IETF, W3C. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz, SysProg and JOAT Atid/2http://patriot.net/~shmuel We don't care.

Vinton Cerf is one of the fathers of the Internet, not the web according to Google hits. The ITU is like many other bodies in this world, almost unknown to the general public I can't speak for the general public, but C.C.I.T.T. was well known to those dealing with communications.
