UN Agency's Leaked Playbook: Panic, Chaos over Anti-Internet Treaty
http://j.mp/V2bspb (Forbes)
"The International Telecommunications Union, the UN agency at the
center of a firestorm over new efforts to regulate the Internet, is
preparing a social media campaign to target what it expects will be
fierce opposition to a revised telephone treaty being decided next
month at a secret conference in Dubai. That's according to a key ITU
internal planning document that appeared Saturday on the website
WCITLeaks, which has been posting a steady stream of documents leading
up to the conference. Even as ITU officials accelerate increasingly
clumsy efforts to deflect the wrath of Internet users over next
month's World Conference on International Telecommunications, more
documents leaking out ahead of the meeting continue to expose the
agency's misstatements."

By pushing this the way they are, the ITU and even the UN more broadly
are likely digging their own graves even deeper than they've been
trending up to now. The Internet community at large will not cede
technical nor economic control over the Net to national governments
who will destroy this great work. Good luck getting those root
passwords, ITU.
