insane over-regulation - what not to do

the whole thing as a piece.  it looks to be a, likely
well-meaning,
attempt by a gang of bureaucrats and a fancy consultant to
put the
universe in a glass jar and preserve it.  from end user, to
net
operations, to infrastructure, to administration, to law.

There is one thing in here which has great amusement appeal
to me:

	g. ensure compliance with accepted International technical
	   standards in the provision and development of electronic
	   communications and transactions;

The protocol police!

It sounds like they're going to create an Industry Forum
(GHANOG?),
which may produce a "voluntary industry code."

About like our housing code in the US.


That's going to be fun to watch.
