You’ve started implementation so a policy with virtually no public input on the 
day after making your proposal public.

I’m pretty sure that’s not how the Internet works.

Perhaps not.  My goal is to minimize Internet disconnection.  Maybe that’s not 
your goal.  I was trying to give what you wrote the most generous possible 
interpretation.

You, on the other hand, seem to be referring to — correct me if I’m wrong — 
sovereign countries pulling the plug on their Internet access.

Perhaps you’re misunderstanding, it’s difficult to tell.  The current problem 
is “sovereign countries” disconnecting (or attempting to disconnect) other 
countries.  That’s a lot of disconnection.  That’s bad for people, and bad for 
business.  I’m against that.  It’s relatively simple.

The proposal you signed doesn’t address that, that I can see.

Perhaps read it again, then, since that’s the only thing it talks about.  
Reducing the amount of disconnection from whole countries to as near zero as 
can be achieved in the presence of “sovereign countries."

Slow your roll. This is nowhere near ready for “operationalization”, as the 
several comments here objecting to the thing testifies.

Putting aside matters of fact...

Because a couple of people objecting to a document they haven’t actually read 
means that the rest of the industry has to put up with national-level 
disconnection?

I’m pretty sure that’s not how the Internet works.  But, you seem pretty 
certain you understand how things work better than I do.  Perhaps you can 
explain it to us.
