    Yes, I agree. But also, we should not be placated by any kind of
    superficial justification thrown our way ... We are supposed to
    representing 'the outsider' majority in these spaces, and need to
    stand up for our convictions... As is already evident, too many take
    IG civil society for granted, which is the reason this thing
    happened in the first place..<br>
    <br>
    I really hope that sooner or later we will hear from our Brazilian
    Liaisons, among others. <br>

                              <div>FWIW my view remains that if the
                                networks involved refuse to work through
                                the 1net mechanism to channel
                                nominations to the Brazilians, they
                                should not have taken positions on the
                                1net coordination committee, which to
                                date has one identifiable function—
                                channeling nominations to the
                                Brazilians.   If the view is that
                                because its launch and initial expiation
                                were not handled well 1net therefore has
                                no legitimacy as a channel, then the
                                networks shouldn’t lend it legitimacy
                                and should resign from its coordination
                                committee.  I don’t share that view of
                                1net, but if someone else does they
                                should behave according to their
                                principles rather than trying to have it
                                both ways. </div>
