    I am reading up on this again, but would defer to the likes of
    Auerbach, and note the concerns of others on the viability of ITU
    approach (noting that the <u>rumours</u> in Geneva at the time of
    the new SG were that if he pursued the CIR thing they would make his
    term look like a bad one), as well as issues for reform of GAC and
    IANA (as raised by Parminder). <br>
    <br>
    I am of the predisposition, to use a Rumsfeld term, for full
    spectrum engagement, of course not an any means necessary one as
    resources are limited. <br>
    <br>
    So varied proposals need to be supported that implicitly or
    explicitly support issues that increase legitimacy. Partnerships
    with the likes of progressives in these fora need to be built, but I
    would advise caution as some reformists are merely minimal
    accomodationists instead of pursuing something transformatory.<br>
    <br>
    Further, I would love to hear what China is planning nationally
    (have cash and capability - perhaps not everything, but emulation is
    a possibility) as well as on Enhanced Cooperation.<br>
    <br>
    It would be great to see a paper on how the CIR and root and
    relationships have evolved (as a response to or inspite of)
    legitimacy concerns as this would give a spread of the issues.<br>
    <br>
    What proposals are you working on "on the inside" and what do you
    think are useful avenues?<br>

          adjectivation and talks about the technology.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Do you believe that the OSI network model, the ETNO
          proposal to the ITU for WCIT, or some version of what never
          gets finally defined as NGN can better accomodate Third World
          concerns than the presently evolving architecture of the
          Internet?</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Nobody is taking away from you the exploration of
          legitimacy or any other aspect of the Internet. The discussion
          reaches a cul de sac when it arrives at a point where it is
          purely political: "remove the US's asymmetric role in the
          control of updates to the root zone of the DNS." Many wish so,
          in different degrees and forms, though this list has explored
          virtually all and any of the imaginable alternatives and
          failed to find one that's so obvioulsy better than today's
          evolving situation. </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>So maybe indeed the model cannnot accomodate that kind of
          change. Do other models open the door, how, at what balance of
          cost, benefit, and risk?</div>

              I will avoid the issue of how your views are
              characterised. That said... <br>
              <br>
              I do not think Parminder represents the entire Third
              World. Nor has be made claims to that effect - but it is a
              particular concern coming from some third world people and
              states.<br>
              <br>
              What is the problem with the references Parminder has
              provided?<br>
              <br>
              More important for me, is democracy or consensus the only
              route to a legitimate viewpoint? <br>
              <br>
              If we reason by way of popularity alone, then it is clear
              why we were led into the "predictable" financial crisis
              this that led to the financial crisis where reason and
              thought was a popularity contest (very lucrative if one is
              a neoliberal apparently) and everyone else was a Dr Doom.
              Robust engagement is cool, but not if reason is hostage...
