[governance] Negotiating Values in a Global Infrastructure

[Mawaki Chango]

Dear Salanieta,

Thanks for this highlight. I just wanted to acknowledge the typos that
you and everyone else have certainly noticed.

* without necessarily the possibility to classify in a compelling manner...

In hindsight, I must say it is an immense and intimidating question
even to its author... But discussion is always possible, of course. In
fact, it has occurred in various forms on this list at least since
WGIG proceedings. I'm not sure whether there has ever been a stable
outcome or consensus on this.

Best,

Mawaki
