<br>
"Decision making IGF' ???. Whoever asked for it? In fact I have been on
this list for a few years and I have never heard one person in any seriousness
asking for a decision making IGF. Jeremy's views are relatively most developed
in this area, an he doesn't ask for a decision making IGF. An IGP paper did
flirt with the possibility of IGF in some way taking up soft oversight of the
ICANN to help it to transit away from US control, but a lot of detail was
offered that it does *not* involve any hard decision making.<br>
<br>
And since the above is said in relation to present proposals for an IGC
statement, I wonder why a simple statement seeking 'strengthening of the IGF'
which I am sure has been reflected in earlier IGC statements should deteriorate
unilaterally, over two emails, into being interpreted as a call for a
'decision making IGF' which should now be dropped since it is unlikely to get
the group's consensus.<br>
<br>
Extreme and facile labeling of positions does not help the discussions. I can
very well say calling IGF as a 'Davos of the Internet' serves the purpose of
legitimizing control of global Internet policies related decision making by big
industry.<br>
<br>
To tell the truth, I wonder how an arm of global civil society can be so
insensitive to the fact that a very large part of progressive global civil
society sees Davos as symbolising (and legitimising) powerful economic
players take up the leadership of the world, in absence of the needed political
vacuum. We are here looking for legitimate global public policy processes, not
imposition on new neo-liberal models on Internet governance. The situation is
bad enough without our help. <br>
