ACTION STEPS: Get Informed Links for more research. Get Involved The power of interactivity.

The squeaky wheel gets greased. If enough of us get informed and get involved, if enough of us send short and polite messages to the key players in the global DNS game, regardless of our positions, if enough of us practice personal democracy, our participation defacto makes democracy stronger. Speak and be heard.
