Dear Andrea,<br>
<br>
As you, and others, were denigrating a model I think works and is an exemplar, I considered it necessary make common cause with those who defend the model from those who denigrate it. There are few enough workable instances of multistakeholder participatory democracy (MPD). While these MPDs are imperfect and must continue to evolve and improve, I do not think any of us who are part of these organizations and who support these organizations can allow them to be rendered irrelevant by those who appear to support a multilateral government oversight (MGO) approach. <br>
</blockquote></div><br>Frankly, if you think that my comments on the IETF amounted to denigrating the organisation (DTO), we have a serious communication problem (SCP). As a matter of fact, I conceded for the sake of discussion (SOD) that the IETF is free from capture by large industry players (LIP); and that the decision-making model (DMM) used by the IETF is producing good results within the specific remit of the organisation (GRWTSROTO).<br>
<br>I did, however, question in a very socratic sense (VSS), being myself at the ignorant side of the relationship, whether and how the IETF model could be applied to public policy making (PPM); as well as which kind of objective metrics one could use to analyse all of the above (AOTA), rather than relying on the say-so of anyone.<br>
<br>For the time being, I concluded there is hope, since some civil servants and some IETF participants do seem to have something in common, namely the (forced?) passion for acronyms - I am currently writing an NtF for a pre-JF with the CAB in which the LTT for the SC of next week will be discussed. I kid you not, these are all real acronyms in an eurocrat daily life and I welcome you to try and guess what they mean. :)<br>
