Well, the subject has been brought up in support for a nomination by the GA, 
and I don't see how the continuation of the debate could be ruled out of 
order.

Also, there have been some interesting developments, like the question from 
WXW to you about cryptography below:

I just assume that you mean that encripted transmission is currently illegal 
in VietNam, but I am curious to hear your authoritative answer, and I am 
sure that the issue about different local laws influencing the Internet is 
of interest to most of the people in the GA.

Best regards
