Real-World Global Networks at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsYxcaER4ww Victoria, For the past 23 years I have been studying global communities.  I took over TheInternetFoundation (net org com) from Network Solutions in July 1998 after the original Internet Foundation was cancelled for US political reasons.
