Not to re-boot old running arguments on new lists, but do you *really*
think that a *purely* private sector approach to coordinating on GII
issues is likely to be either functionally up to snuff for dealing
with the range of issues, or politically acceptable abroad, much
less in the USA? If not, and given the problems associated with
ye ole ITU-GATT/WTO nexus, where do we go? The OECD has its own
limitations...
Is the Administration even thinking about this, or are we once
again going to just go off in our own direction and hope down the
road that everyone else follows on a path we've preconfigured?
Bill
