Since you asked, let me be frank if blunt...<br>
<br>
Because there is a great amount of activity and discussion going on
about gaps in global governance of the Internet with regard to
public policy 'making' (the enhanced cooperation debate) and there
is much effort to posit the argument that 'the IGF is enough' ,
whereby no specific public policy 'making' mechanism is needed.<br>
<br>
And since you rightly point out, IGF is to 'discuss' and that should
normally not be enough, a somewhat desperate case is being made out
that such discussions have led to necessary actions (and thus IGF is
enough)<br>
<br>
I agree, it is unsettling. IGF and its duty holders should stay
neutral in this larger debate and not support any one side . They
should just to their job, which is to convene and inefficiently run
a global multistakeholder public policy dialogue<br>
