  Reminder: GCTIP Forums for Network Neutrality / Open Internet Discussions

                http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/000615.html


Greetings.  With the significant FCC activities 
( http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/000614.html ) today relating to
critical Network Neutrality and Open Internet issues, I've already
received a pile of queries from folks asking for suggestions regarding
where they could best openly discuss these issues and related topics
in detail.

Given the large readership size of the moderated NNSquad (Network
Neutrality Squad) mailing list ( http://www.nnsquad.org), it is
generally not appropriate for sustained discussions of the sort that
are really more suited for threaded discussion environments.

But the GCTIP Forums site ( http://forums.gctip.org) from GCTIP
(Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance) --
http://www.gctip.org -- founded early this year, exists specifically to
encourage these sorts of intense threaded dialogues, discussions,
queries, information sharing, etc.

Topics appropriate for the Forums include all areas broadly
surrounding Network Neutrality and Open Internet concerns, including
ISP issues and Terms of Service, Internet privacy, communications
reliability and integrity, network performance and measurement,
transparent access to Internet sites and services, application
blocking, quality of service issues, and so on.

Anyone can read Forums discussions.  You must be registered to post
messages, but registered users can also create new discussion threads,
and existing open, non-administrative topic categories are not
pre-moderated (though all postings must abide by the 
usage guidelines of course - http://forums.gctip.org/thread-1.html ).

Please consider GCTIP Forums ( http://forums.gctip.org ) as a resource
for wide-ranging discussions, queries, comparing of notes/data, and
for a wide variety of other interactions associated with all sides of
Network Neutrality, Open Internet, and related issues.  Regardless
of where you stand personally regarding any of these controversial
topics, your participation would be very welcome.

Thanks.
