I think here I would ask you to trust your intuition. There are
serious limits to dialogue on this IGC platform, much improved
recently despite denunciations of its caustic nature, even though it
has improved much recently.<br>
<br>
As McTim kindly pointed out about the dominance of 'single rooters'
confirms minority status of certain groups. You pointed out the
difficulty of discussing net neutrality in this forum, etc. From
this one can glean these limits and <i>complementary</i> fora are
needed to deepen analysis. IGC relevance in this context may confirm
your irrelevance. <br>
<br>
Would be glad to discuss this offlist further with you and others of
like minded persuasion. This is not detract from recent changes. But
strategic engagement may be more fruitful.<br>

is fine if this is the interpretation of what IGC is, not much of
an advocacy group but a kind of an open platform or forum for
civil society groups. And I am increasingly inclined or maybe
resigned to this perspective. But that still begs an organised
constituency and group at the global level that can systematically
deal with Internet governance issues pertaining to social and
economic justice. This is the gap that I spoke about in my
previous email.
