Agreed.

In my experience 'intellectual property' (another 'IP') is one of a loaded
terms that often risks alienating/polarizing a discussion even before it
starts.  That really wasn't my intention in Malaysia, rather to focus
forward to issues surrounding KYC/identity service/management provision and
all that that might entail. Although I ran out of time, I wanted to stress
that online identity may take many forms/persona(s) and may not always need
to correspond 1:1 with meatspace.

Noted with thanks and respect.

Long story short, as I've said here in HK.

1)  'You don't build a knowledge economy by keeping knowledge scarce'
2) 'Programmers and Bloggers gotta eat'

Again, sorry I won't be able to meet many of you on March 23-25 as I need
to attend to some 'Internet Goverance' (another 'red flag' word?) -related
discussions at the ICANN Singapore meeting.

I find the openness (and clue) of this group v. inspiring and invigorating.
I hope to re-engage in early April 2014 and look forward learn more about
the deep discussions and outcomes from the Paris meeting.  :)

Till then ...
