Crucial Vote on Internet's Future

I speak and use English.

This might be a good thing for me. I dont care to accidentally access other character sets any way.

If a website is not in English, I cant and wont read it anyway.

This might have some unintended consequences. I could foresee this as isolating parts of the web. As it is now, we are all united in a single character set. Going with different characters may very well effectively partition the web off into separate enclaves.

Next Thursday it all happens, that voting.

There have been some interesting proposals, some quite unworkable.

I'm not quite sure why Paris is the location for the meeting, after all, the French did not develop the Arpanet, or the Internet.

Kind Regards....

It will isolate people using different alphabets from each other, make communication more difficult and confusing and make it easier for governments to regulate what is said. When people in other countries cannot get Roman character keyboards they will have a difficult time trying to communicate.

However since I only speak English, if they want to communicate in their own alphabets, with each other that's fine with me, I won't read them.
