>In fact the Commission Beaussant released a proposed "Charter" on
>self-regulation, and the final version (March 5) is more fluid and less
>dangerous for civil liberties.
>
>The Commission added some new protections at the last minute. For example :
>there is  distinction between "professional" actors and basic users (who
>talk and exchange idées) : users won't have to follow the Charter, because
>it would be a threat for freedo of expression, which could be regulated
>only by Parliament and the Justice. So this so-called Conseil de l'Internet
>(the propsed name for self-regulating body) may be only a tool for

>small-and medium sized ISPs) are against this kind of self-r principles,
>they want a govt-based body.

>Hope it helped. You can resend it to other people.
