wary of those who claim that the system is broken or who
advocate replacing it with a more centralized arrangement –
where governments would have a monopoly on the
decision-making. That’s dangerous. Now, I don’t know what
you think, but I am confident that if we were to ask any
large group of internet users anywhere in the world what
their preferences are, the option “leave everything to the
government” would be at the absolute bottom of the list.
Because of the dynamic nature of this technology, new issues
are constantly on the horizon – but the multi-stakeholder
approach remains the fairest and the best, most effective
way to be able to resolve those challenges."</font></blockquote>
