    <font face="Verdana">It is a pity that major civil society groups
      finally decided to go with the WEF's NMI, albeit repackaged to
      look somewhat better that the WEF itself. This could be a</font><font

      for the global governance of the Internet, of course in a bad way.
      <br>
      <br>
      The existing centres of Internet power, almost all US based ones,
      have achieved a significant objective. Really a </font><font
      face="Verdana">champagne-uncorking </font><font face="Verdana">day


      for them. They have managed to shift the </font><font
      face="Verdana">attention from the US centredness of the global
      Internet, which was </font><font face="Verdana">increasingly </font><font
      face="Verdana">becoming </font><font face="Verdana"> too
      uncomfortable and unsustainable, towards relatively greater
      globality of the Internet's power establishment. (In the short
      term, this will help them address WSIS plus 10 'problems', but can
      have significant long terms gains as well.) Being able to win
      global popular support was extremely unlikely with the kind of
      stuff that these Internet powers do, which is increasingly common
      knowledge. Such democratic seekings are passe, really
      old-fashioned. And so they went for the easier catch - the global
      elite. It is an elite which often already identifies with a
      certain US centric global cosmopolitan-ism (grudging accepting the
      the US centred-ness of this global cultural phenomenon and hoping
      to cosmopolitan-ise it). To the extent even if some of them do not
      so accept - like some kinds of political and economic elites
      outside the US - it is ready to make power-for-power big deals and
      adjustments. That is what the World Economic Forum is, and
      everyone know this fact. But this is something to which a big part
      of civil society involved in the IG space </font><font
      face="Verdana">today </font><font face="Verdana">professed a
      complete blindness.<br>
      <br>
      In reaching the World Economic Forum, and somewhat centring itself
      on it, the global IG establishment has provided clearer contours
      to what in any case has been one of the most significant elements
      of the global politics around the Internet. This is the uneasy
      political relationship between the globally mobile (now even more
      mobile, virtually) or at least aspirational upper classes and the
      more locally rooted, and yes, well, rather constrained,
      rest-of-the-world, even if often domiciled in the same territory
      and polity. Much of global Internet politics, captured in the
      phenomenon of multistakeholderism, represents a combination of
      political, economic and social elites of the world, and across the
      world (with its continuous demeaning of the nation state while
      taking all the benefit of its institutions). This political
      combination now has a clear home at the WEF, and in it, a clear
      symbol as well. It is spine-chilling to think what kind of deals
      and compromises will be worked out among the most powerful, now
      with the more acceptable tag of a certain globalness attached to
      them.<br>
      <br>
      This globalness achieved by bringing together the elite of the
      world may be worse than the status quo, which fact worries me the
      most. In the status quo there was at least the stark legitimacy
      hole, and certain possibilities of joining of forces among those
      outside the global Internet power configuration, the rich and the
      poor alike, to put it somewhat simplistically. The WEF brings to
      the global IG establishment not only a new legitimacy of a certain
      globalness, but also divides those who would otherwise be together
      in their opposition to the US hegemony. Now the top businesses of
      developing countries can feel more equal with those from the US at
      WEF panels and working groups, and the leaders of the more
      powerful developing countries can be variously flattered and
      offered selective sops. That celebrated meeting of fat cats in the
      snow at Davos. A perfect photo op. Just the poor, the disposed and
      the marginalised are missing. They are missing from the forums
      which would now entrech, as well as develop new, means for ever
      greater digital control over them. The structures of controls will
      see minor shifts and adjustments on the top, with concessions
      thrown around within the narrow elite circles, and those left out
      will all be worse for these adjustment and changes. This is how
      the new global paradigm is a great regression from even the status
      quo.<br>
      <br>
      The first country to welcome the WEF's NMI was the US, and also
      the first to offer itself for a seat in the NMI Council. The
      second one seeking a seat is Russia. So, you get the picture!
      (Lets not talk about the Brazilians. They really do not seem to
      know what they are doing, God forgive them.) The powerful have
      decided what they plan to do, or not do, about the global
      governance of the Internet. Now the powerless and the exploited
      need to figure what </font><font face="Verdana">they </font><font
      face="Verdana">should  do; what is their response to this new
      global Internet power configuration. But for that they first need
      an organised civil society to direct and lead them, because most
      of the existing one in the IG space has betrayed them. It is a
      difficult situation. <br>

                out that the status quo in Internet governance does not
                represent the fulfilment of this model. The NETmundial
                Initiative should not be used to legitimise existing
                inequalities and deficiencies of the present system and

                of Internet governance principles; indeed the Statement
                itself acknowledges that it is only a work in progress.
                So we do not see the NETmundial roadmap as an immutable
