<div><span style="font-size:12pt">Multistakeholderism is, to at least some parties, a wonderful mask to aid
industry dominance with no governmental involvement whatsoever. And here
the dominant industry players often find willing supporters in the technical
community. I think civil society needs to be clear that, if it supports
multistakeholderism, it is not giving support to no governmental involvement at
all or to unregulated industry dominance. I think this is a real debate we have
to have.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>And I think we need to be honest about the fact that not all stakeholders
have equal power in this – civil society arguments do not carry the weight of
the large internet corporations, and to pretend that ms-ism somehow changes this
imbalance is either naive or deliberately misleading.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I mention this here because, by the looks of Brazil and the way the agenda
is shaping up, we are going to talk about principles for governance, and this
word multistakeholderism is going to be front and centre. I think we need to
unwrap it a little and state clearly that the real issues going on are between
governmental and industry control, neither of which of itself is of itself a
satisfactory model.</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Brilliantly put Ian. Agree that this will be a key differentiator between what civil society puts forward for the meeting and what (if anything) 1net may put forward.</div>
