We need to distinguish between the worldwide web which, in my mind, has a basic structure that is holding up and the platforms which are using it, in respect of which there is a governance gap. Tim Berners-Lee and the Web Foundation have a very good insight into how that is happening. Our key question is where is the governance and how do we secure collaboration on it. Mr. Lovett has said he is travelling to Berlin at the end of November with the Internet Governance Forum. To use an expression he might know, he and whose army? How can national jurisdictions and the European Union, as several others have said, make sure it is collaborative across jurisdictions? Where are the teeth? How will that collaboration be brought about?
