Hi, +--- Start of included message from: Havard.Eidnes@runit.sintef.no ----- | | Hi, | | I recently reviewed my notes from the last RIPE meeting (Berlin), and | one of the items on the plenary agenda was "EU and regulation". | Apparently someone from the EU commission had taken an initiative | where it was said | | "... investigate all the problems of the european Internet | with the possibility for regulation ... " | | Needless to say, that didn't get much support at the RIPE meeting, and | as far as I remember someone (including the RIPE chairman(?)) would Yes | get in touch with the relevant people from the commission and arrange | an informal meeting with the intention to exchange information (both | ways) concerning this. | | Has there been any progress on this item, and if so, what was the | outcome? Yes, sort of: I have almost a date fixed (took 3 phone calls only :-)) The Commission really feels the need to get into contact with true European Internet players, since they are regularly being approached by US organisations like Microsoft who offered to introduce them to the Internet. | | Does this at all have something to do with the message Lubos Elias | sent to the RIPE mailing list on May 27th? Don't know, will find out. | | Regards, | | - H=E5vard | +--- End of included message from: Havard.Eidnes@runit.sintef.no ----- Greetings, Rob
