Of course you know what net neutrality is - it is there in the
Marco Civil; it is not here in this document...<br>
<br>
And even the half cock term 'neutrality' has been specifically
removed, by those opposed to net neutrality, and you are trying to
convince us that net neutrality is still there...<br>
<br>
Not only net neutrality has been removed, 'free flow of
information' which figured twice in the earlier (leaked) draft has
been removed from both places..<br>
<br>
Plus the mention of 'necessary and proportionate' principle (s)
has been removed..<br>
<br>
Plus need for agreements on restraining cyber weapons have been
removed...<br>
<br>
The part on access for disabled has been weakened...</font><font
face="Verdana"><br>
<br>
The recognition in the previous document of need for mechanisms to
address emerging issues and those which do not have a existing
home has been greatly diluted...<br>
<br>
So, the big business has done a thorough vetting of the doc to
make sure that not a wisp of anything that could even potentially
interfere with their free reign on the global Internet could pass
through...<br>
<br>
And what happened to other suggestions form HLC members who are to
big business or the US gov...<br>
<br>
Argentinian government and Indian government (and in a way also
the European Commission) had asked for the insertion of the term
'democratic' in different places where the characteristics of
Internet governance were listed.... But, no, that demand was not
accepted...<br>
<br>
There is no place for democracy and democratic in the land of
multistakeholderism, fronting or big business interests, as the
changes in the document clearly show. <br>
<br>
BTW, India in its comments on the document (as per the leaked
documents) seem to have also asked for a recognition of the
Internet as a global commons... but of course no... what are you
talking about!<br>
<br>
What are you asking the people of the world to do with this
document... To endorse it and celebrate it just becuase in about
500 places it says multi-stakeholder....<br>

Put on one of your fabulous outfits, and then remind them, that
working inclusively and respectfully with all stakeholder groups,
particularly those that lack power and influence - i.e. civil society
- is very different from putting on a colourful West African outfit
:) It takes hard work, change in behaviour, change in structures and
procedures, consultation, respect, trust, debate, and struggle,
because do not always agree. It also requires a common framework of
principles that defines what the public interest is in internet
governance that can be used to promote and protect this public
interest across the internet governance ecosystem and it is this
framework that we trust the NetMundial can get us closer to.
You could also mention surveillance, with particularly - but not only
- mass surveillance demonstrating how easy it is to destroy trust,
and to deny accountability. And, is there any tougher test for
multi-stakeholder internet governance? I think it would be good to
get the message accross that the IANA transition is not the only
issue that NetMundial should be discussing, but at the same time, it
is a key opportunity to come up with solutions and approaches that
are not simply cosmetic.

major issues
Dear all,
I got a message this morning from NetMundial Chair, Virgilo,
inviting me
to speak at the Opening Ceremony of Netmundial (meaning I have to pack
one of those African dresses) for some 8 minutes.
I have replied to say "I will be speaking from the Civil Society
perspective, which is my Stakeholder Group".
There is a Web Foundation media team that will help me put my ideas
into
place, but I cannot not request input from here, so that no major
issues
will be overlooked.
I travel Thursday evening thru Friday, so the earliest I can share a
draft/keypoints will be Monday.
Hope we can pull this off well.
All for now
Nnenna
