Sivasubramanian Muthusamy writes in CircleID as an independent person from India, although he serves as the President of ISOC India Chennai and as the IDN's liaison of the ICANN At Large Advisory Committee. He has been taking part in ISOC programs and ICANN meetings as a person who immensely values the fundamental values of the Internet. He believes in a well balanced system of Governance in its minimal form, he has been actively participating in the key discussions on Internet Governance in various forums including the Internet Governance Caucus.
His interest in the growth and evolution of the Internet stems from an innate desire to contribute very significantly to the world at large on a macro level. In 1991 he was one of the four delegates from India to the one of its kind International Model United Nations organized by the Junior Chambers International and held at the UN General Assembly Hall in New York where he introduced a spiritedly debated draft resolution to strengthen the United Nations.
To gain a depth of knowledge on Internet issues so as to take part in the Internet Governance process with the right understanding, he has gone through the Diplo Foundation course on Internet Governance Forum and is taking part in the Advanced program with specialization in Privacy
He has taken part in the Internet Governance Forum at Hyderabad, at the OECD Ministerial Meeting on the Future of Internet Economy at Seoul, Korea, and took part at the APNIC 24 and SANOG events in New Delhi, has attended the ICANN At-Large summit in Mexico and will take part in the ICANN meeting in Sydney.
He is CEO, of Turiya since Dec 2006, which is his enterprise, a Start Up in its pre-funding stage to make Desktop, MobilePCs and Mobile Internet Devices around an UNIX operating system. Prior to this he was the Director of Whitefield Cottons Pvt. Ltd.

China as a nation with a population of 1.3 billion people, represents over a fifth of the whole world and for this reason, if not for any other, we need to sit up and listen to anything that China says, though a lot of what China says may be disagreeable. China unambiguously stated its position during the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) Open Consultations at Geneva on May 13. On this instance, I consider the views expressed by China largely respectable, but needs to be bridged in some areas. more»
Where does this idea that the employees of all non-profit organizations alike shall lead a public-transportation lifestyle come from? ICANN's monetary resources do not come from war widows and pensioners, for ICANN to feel guilty about every penny that it spends on administration. Nor does its resources, wherever they come from, are any that are earmarked to be spent on famine relief or on basic health care for the most unfortunate. more»
I kept wondering if all that I had said about Dr Toure was fair -- I hadn't met him before and had written so much to comment on the transcript of his speech at ICANN, Cairo . My discomfort was short-lived and even before a month elapsed I met him at the Internet Governance Forum, Hyderabad.

ITU is 143 years old and it has done a lot of good work. But it is so huge and powerful that it has been monopolizing (or mono-unionizing) Telecommunications for the last 143 years.

ITU and the Internet organizations did not quite get along for this and several other reasons Especially the ITU has had its share of differences with the ICANN. Dr. Hamadoun Toure, Secretary General of the ITU addressed the ICANN Annual Meeting at Cairo on 6 November 2008. Here are some excerpts from the Secretary General's speech with my comments. more»
The World is not inventing Internet Governance. Internet is already being governed. There is governance, but without a formal structure -- the structure is undefined like a round table... The opponents of the concept of Internet Governance perhaps believe that the essential character of the Internet is preserved best by challenging the very concept of Governance. The words "Governance", "Control", "Regulation" or even "Coordination" are mistaken to be invasive to the essential character of a free, open and user-centric internet. more»
