["Annette Muehlberg" <Annette.Muehlberg@xxxxxx>]

I came across two texts in the context of the WSIS debate which might be of 
interest to you: 

1. the March 05 edition of the Internet Protocol journal -
an opinion article on ICANN, the ITU, WSIS and internet Governance by Geoff 
Huston.
The Internet Protocol Journal, Vol.8, No.1
