Hi Bill
 
The ALA’s response seems to have been picked up quite quickly and they were the first NGO mentioned in The Guardian’s piece on Tuesday: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jan/14/net-neutrality-internet-fcc-verizon-court
 
My organisation, the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), which counts ALA amongst its members, updated its position on IG in 2013 IFLA and addresses network neutrality in no 2: http://www.ifla.org/node/7515

Just one question on the latter:  "IFLA consequently endorses the principle and spirit of the multistakeholder approach under the UN aegis and supports the process of enhanced co-operation in relation to critical Internet resources” —I’d be really interested to hear more on the library community’s views on enhanced cooperation…

Best,

Bill

 
Cheers,
 
Stuart

Good for them, nice to see a professional association like the ALA take a stand.
