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>

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>

And it is not just these two governments. President Rousseff in her
famed UN speech has directly linked the privacy issue to
democracy... To quote<br>
<br>
"<font face="Arial, serif"><font size="3"><span lang="fr-FR">In
the absence of the right to privacy, there can be no true
freedom of
expression and opinion, and therefore no effective democracy.
</span></font></font>
" That to her was the biggest point of Snowden revelations which set
in motion a process that let to the Brazil meeting. <br>
<br>
But strangely, Brazilians seem to have handed over this meeting to
the staus quoists... and democracy is simply not a favoured word
with them..<br>
<br>
Welcome to the brave new post-democratic world... the NetMundial doc
as it stands is positioned to become a key milestone, even a trail
blazer, towards a post-democratic global governance, from where it
will trickle down to national levels. The neoliberal ideology is
making really big strides and rapid gains....<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
