Rick, here is the doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MyDayX3H0uatwW76PeXjT-YMBPHkWqQexTL8N0QY0_0/edit

Agree, fragmentation is bad.

Agree, fragmentation is bad.

I am in agreement that fragmentation is bad

Fragmentation=bad

I like when we can give an example that people can grasp that rather than an existential argument.

We can also think about taking Steve’s example up a few k feet, is there a data aggregation issue?

splinternet

That’s why we’ll slate this before cocktails ;)

Successful digital sovereignty is the end of multistakeholder governance and that is a big scary threat.

This cries out for us to use Scenarios, demonstrating a fragmented world in 5 years and 10 years

Trump blocked TikTok for political purposes to show he was tough on China.

It really wasnt to protect Americans

MY view is that TikTok is harmful to the Americans

And then those scenarios give us a chance to discuss th”should” that Steve mentioned - how we address this without/before fragmentation.

+1 lets articulate a goal as informing ‘regulators’ on current threats to fragmentation that the US can help mitigate

Something like that?

In the “pessimistic” scenario would be about many forms of fragmentation, incl those with motives that are cultural, economic, national security, child protection, etc.

They’re all lumped into a plausible scenario, that paints a frightening picture. It’s “America First” on steroids and in every country

I have to drop for another call. This has been a good discussion. Look forward to the next meeting.

Lots to consider. To me it's a mater of balance and security. Appreciate being a part. Humbling. Thanks everyone.
