<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">You might remember that on a couple of occasions Fadi mentioned he has commissioned a panel headed by Beth Noveck to help him think through new ways of engaging people and making multi-stakeholder governance more inclusive and transparent. The panel is based in GovLab, a unit at the Wagner School for Public Policy in NYU. Other panel members are Alison Gillwald, Joi Ito, Karim Lakhani, Guo Liang, Geof Mulgan and Bitange Ndemo.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I think it is one of the more serious attempts to think through what multi-stakeholder governance might look like given the technology platforms we have.
