KOFI.COM .......
While over at Roger Simon's place I picked up this tidbit of cheery news. Seems that Kofi Annan wants the U.N. to start taking a more active role in controlling the Internet by forming a heady little International body known as the World Summit on the Information Society.
Kofi has appointed a 40 member panel selected from countries with a history of free thought like Cuba, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Zimbabwe and Tunisia. At a meeting of the WSIS last month the members outlined their goals to include "Internet governance". If the thought of the U.N. having any form of governance over the Internet doesn't scare you then probably you also believe that the "Iraqi oil for food" program was an outstanding work of benevolence. My personal thought is that before the U.N. jumps right into actually governing the Internet perhaps they just ought to get their feet wet with a Blog and see how they like it.

And if you haven't read Roger Simons work often you should. An interesting panoply of thought on a variety of topics and Roger is a nice and proactive Blog owner. I received a nice email from him last week concerning several comments I've left on his website.
