It brings even more questions about what is it really that is in the making. Probably because you are working currently at ICANN, that might explain why your insider vision is relatively different from what others are able to tell us. (BY the way, have you had time to think about you being seated at the NMI, but then under which hat: one more seat for ICANN, or one more seat for ICANN?<br><br>We all have in mind the idea that ICANN does not feel fully legitimate to address "INTERNET PUBLIC POLICY" issues, and therefore called for reinforcement of some sort. But could you explain how the WEF and its cohort of corps are even more legitimate to handle these kind of issues? I am wondering also what is the connection between privacy and Human Rights and the WEF, the ICANN and the CGIbr. What's the idea there? Has Pr. Klaus Schwab a new idea for himself to end his lasting career to go into human rights from economy? Tell us about that. The general manager of the WEF tells on the NMI website, that this is all about politics, and money. Somehow what Louis Pouzin said earlier today when mapping the IG.<br><br>Also, if according to your CEO at ICANN, Netmundial has been a moment for the "Internet community" -not sure what it is exactly - to agree upon a set of common principles, where does the Sao Paulo roadmap (unseen at this stage by many of us) tell us why the WEF is a critical asset to define new internet governance mechanisms, privacy norms and human rights corporate responsibility or process or whatever is on their mind?<br><br>If the WEF wishes to edit a report about new ideas regarding the Internet and its governance, we welcome all contributions, but for what superior reasons do we need to have this new "thing" when the most critical thing Civil Society should preferably care about is how to create a robust and sustainable funding for the IGF. Maybe the WEF and ICANN should provide some financing to IGF, and re-energize it, and call for greater efficiency, transparency and accountability of the IGF. Instead of paying for another business-show.<br><br>I think JNC has given a very clear and strong explanation about why CS should refrain from participating in such platform. As did ISOC.
