PEACE - NEGOTIATION - CONSENSUS

[Bob Allisat <tor@wtv.net>]

In all of the tens of thousands of articles,
 impassioned exchanges and often violent
 emotions there is a general interest in finding
 a comprehensive, inclusive and generally
 acceptable resolution to Internet Governance.
 A medium that started with a handful of
 people utilizing it has unexpectedly grown
 into what may become the only global mode
 of communication simultaneously accessible
 to all citizens, organizations, corporations
 and governments. This was never intended
 at the start but must be the primary motive
 behind all of our present efforts and actions.

 Internic, Alternic, CORE, National registries,
 concerned governments, NGOs, other groups and
 individuals must unite to find a common, decent
 ground to work together from. As it now stands
 the ground we are all standing on is crumbling
 under the enormous pressure of hundreds of thousands
 of new "Netizens" who flood onto this medium
 every month. As it now stands the ground we
 are inhabiting is dissolving due to this
 persistant and destructive conflict we are
 all witnessing and, to some degree or other,
 helping to prolong.

 It is time, if it wasn't time before this, to
 lay aside all agendas for domination or market
 share or power. It is time to put away the
 intellectual and digital weaponry. It is time
 to gather together as a community and to peace
 with each other. Now let us all make declarations
 of peace, commence negotiations to forge consensus
 with all the world watching and our collective
 future foremost in our thoughts.
