from the non-isolationism dept.

In 2012 Petter Reinholdtsen came across a document in the mail journal for the Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communications on OEP that piqued his interest. It appears that someone capable of inviting selected NATO nations to a meeting in the Pentagon organized a meeting where someone representing the Norwegian defence attaché in Washington attended, and the account from this meeting is interpreted by the Ministry of Transport and Communications to expose Norway's negotiating position, negotiating strategies and similar regarding the ITU negotiations on Internet Governance. According to Reinholdtsen, the rejections do not seem to make sense and cause him to ask, is the Pentagon deciding the Norwegian negotiating position on Internet governance?

The title of the document was "Internet Governance and how it affects national security". The document date was 2012-05-22, and it was said to be sent from the "Permanent Mission of Norway to the United Nations". He asked for a copy, but his request was rejected. Three years later, he requested again and the ministry upheld its rejection quoting the same law reference as before, while the permanent mission rejected it quoting a different clause.
