sure what you do with the notions of democracy and citizenship built up over the
last 1000 years or so, but maybe governance of the Internet is a special
case...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Yes indeed. Leave the below out of any suggestions.
Great for goals and cheerleading but very destructive to building
foundations. People must get the fact that caring for the
needy via the internet is not grassroots, it is empathy, not work
limiting accomodation. At best teh below approach will lead us to form
general policy based on isolated non-representative experience and at
norm lead us moribound into more worry about an individual or
inclusiveness than results. "Governance" is not the idea of
developing, it is the idea of working with what we have, or what comes
into it, not what will make us feel good.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In short - you do not form a governance model and then say "Now let
us go out and find folks to govern". Townhall meeting concepts are
for pr and politics.<BR><BR>--- On <B>Thu, 7/9/09, Ginger Paque
