>        In looking at questions of Internet governance, it is very
>important to review the history of where the Internet has come from.=20
>This talk will look at one of the earliest mailing lists, MsgGroup,=20
>and describe the evolution of this mailing list. Important problems=20
>concerning the future growth of the Net faced the ARPANET networking
>community in the early 1980's. The discussion on the MsgGroup mailing=20
>list during this period helped to identify the problems so they could=20
>be solved.
>        The talk will then discuss how a similar structure is
>needed today to provide for the open discussion and debate of
>the problems of Internet growth and development. This is a crucial
>component of what is needed for an internationally shared means=20
>of Internet governance. When trying to understand how the=20
>Internet should be governed, it is very important that the=20
>history and evolution of the Internet be studied so that future=20
>developments will build on the lessons of the past
