+1 - I agree that a process of continuous reflection is useful, but
for now I remain comfortable with our process and the women leading
it (thanks Carolina and Joana for your work). <br>

I am all for the most valuable use of our time. So what would that
be? Until we know who will devise the agenda or structure for the
Brazil summit, I find it hard to answer my own question. So I
lean towards engaging until I know it is a waste of time.<br>

<div>Briefly, I share both of these concerns. There is nothing
here so far to suggest that the references to the IGF,
multi-stakeholder processes and even enhanced cooperation are
not just the innocuous versions of those loose concepts, that
pose no threat to those with vested interests in the status
quo. The exclusion of governments from the dialogue also
confirms that the dialogue is likely to be an echo chamber in
which those who already have particular views about
governments and Internet governance, reinforce those views.
In that light is participation in the dialogue a wise
investment of our time, which is already so very stretched?</div>
