<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Subsequent to an offline
exchange, I must make it clear that the term doublespeak is used not
for Avri, since the point where it appears is far removed from what
could in any way be construed as a direct response to her email.. It
has to do with the attitude of many in the civil society who treat
internationalization as not that important an issue, and we all know it
is a fact that many don't, and often actively resist any moves in this
direction. parminder </font><br>

Maybe. But on another important count, we, as the South based civil
society groups, loathe to work through a system where the interests and
rights of one country are highly privileged over others (the
sub-committee keeps speaking of US citizens, and expectedly so). We are
not willing to be the 'rest of them' as we figure in this system... It
is therefore of great and urgent importance that internationalization
of supervision of ICANN is seen as *the* non-negotiable and urgent step
in the IG arena. The reluctance and double-speak of many in what is
seen as the global civil society in this arena is most disturbing to
me, and as I am prone to say, completely unacceptable.
