um) at the moment with a fight about how the internet itself is managed.
The article below gives a good overview of the situation.

The worrying thing is the size and power of some of the countries who want =
to do things differently than our present multi-stakeholder approach.

their way, it could be close to the truth.
There are numerous people from our community going to be attending the even=
