Hello all,   I wish that we keep this list "on topic" as it already has enough postings to follow, we don't need to add OFF TOPIC posts on top of that ! --- Kais Al-Essa, Operations & Technical Services Manager SAHARA NETWORK, Dammam, Saudi Arabia - http://www.sahara.net.sa/  http://www.sahara.com/ - Tel: +(9663) 832 2299 - Fax: 834 5652   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ISOC Network Operations Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2003 6:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] OT: China, India and others seek to have UN control the Internet Lol, yup that’s about how I see it working. Especially the piss up a tree part. Then they would pass a resolution that they would never enforce.   John   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff - MIS Sciences Corporation Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2003 10:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] OT: China, India and others seek to have UN control the Internet   The UN? What a joke, it would like giving K-Mart control over retail business in the USA. The UN can not even run their own organization (putting Libya on the Human Rights Council). But since the UN is an organization  "in name only" let them have it. The major players (US, Japan, etc) would tell them to piss up a tree and then the UN would have a committee meeting and nothing would happen   Jeff     ----- Original Message ----- From: David Payer To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2003 06:19 Subject: [Modus] OT: China, India and others seek to have UN control the Internet   http://washtimes.com/world/20031117-113002-7678r.htm   Yes, China helping to run the Internet.... hmmmm yes, that makes a lot of sense. Then we could INSTITUTIONALIZE spam and tax it.   Interesting story.   David Payer
