Perhaps you would like to challenge
the accuracy of the NY Times next:
=====
http://www.nytimes.com/library/cyber/week/080197domain.html
Jerry Berman, the executive director of the Center for Democracy and
Technology, said the Internet is facing a series of governance issues on
domain names, copyright protection, control and privacy.
"We're trying to find ways to bring the Internet community together to
discuss and dialogue and find solutions that reach a consensus with the
Internet community and try to minimize the regulatory intrusion of any
particular government," he said.
Is it going to work?
"Either we work it out ... or some government or some agency is going to
take it to an unfriendly forum," Berman said. "That's what happened with
the Communications Decency Act."

I'd say we've ended up in
"unfriendly" territory ;-)
Jay.
