<DIV>I did my best to follow the transcript of yesterdays Open Consultation and
was rather frustrated by the content. Meanwhile Kieren McCarthy has provided a
much more thorough analysis than I can here, which is well worth reading.</DIV>

<DIV>Let me add to these criticisms by pointing out the the growing volumes of
materials to do with Internet theology. Internet theology includes the thorough
analysis of text, placements of commas, and meanings which may be attributed to
words in various languages in all of the various WSIS and post WSIS documents
(hereinafter referred to as the Scriptures) . It also includes the decade of
debates on the true meaning of multistakeholderism, and also on the true meaning
of enhanced cooperation. </DIV>

<DIV>I fear we have all become very inwardly focussed. This constant navel
gazing may lead to total irrelevance of IGF.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good luck to the MAG in moving us onwards from here. I think we have become
rather stuck (but please don’t make the theme Science and Technology and
Development, that also is an inwardly focussed attempt to shore up relationships
with a sponsoring UN agency).</DIV>
