World Summit On The Internet And IT

eegad writes "The Seattle PI reports on the upcoming first phase of the World Summit on the Information Society to be held in Geneva on December 10-12. 192 nations are involved in the effort to set some ground rules for the Internet (a little late, eh?) including ways to deal with spam, a possible "digital solidarity fund" to help developing nations, and discussion of UN regulation. The goal of this phase is to adopt a "Declaration of Principles" and "Plan of Action". Some countries plan on asking for a UN commission to study new ways of running the Internet aimed at the 2005 phase. The official website will provide coverage of the event. How come I wasn't invited?" The Washington Times also has a piece on it, as well. We had covered this a bit before.

  1. OT: What part of "militia" do you not understand? by jameshowison · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Your sig is pathetic:
    What part of "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." do you not understand?

    What part of "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state" do you not understand? (being the first part of the second amendment)

    Your selective quotation is just embarrassing. You have the right to bear arms, but only as part of a "well regulated militia".

    Come to think of it the Second Amendment isn't even grammatical.
