The UN General Assembly mandated Working Group on Enhanced
Cooperation (on international Internet related public policies)
which was tasked to develop institutional means for appropriate
governance of the global Internet folded up yesterday after 4 years
of work ( 2 years each of two versions) without making any
recommendation. I wrote the following email to the group that lays
out how I see the group's work, especially its failure to come up
with any recommendation...<br>

been possible for us to have made some progress. But then,
unfortunately, they did not. In the end, my summative
assessment is as follows. It would have been nice to have
had a report, but it is more truthful that there isnt one.
That is the true reflection of the state of affairs. And
while we have responsibilities to ourselves and to the group
of nice-ness and collegiality, there is a much higher
responsibility of telling the undiluted truth to the global
public. </font></font> </p>

governance of the global Internet and the digital phenomenon
should be undertaken in the UN, we today are even more apart
then we were even at the WSIS. A good proof of it comes from
examining what was the central piece of the excitement of
the last hours yesterday (an excitement, I admit, I shared
in the room at that time.). At Tunis, the global community
could agree that (1) the current mechanisms of global public
governance of the Internet were inadequate ( <span
