<div dir="ltr">Considering the topic of this discussion should we examine our own process as well? Is this how we think "multistakeholder process" should work - a largish voluntary participation in discussion of an issue and then break into a (closed) committee? Can you arrive at true consensus from a committee process? <div>
These questions all came up in discussion at the LACIGF in Argentina 2013 when there was a very interesting breakout session on this issue. It does seem as if the technology that has "created" this problem by making global inclusion a real possibility should also be able to solve it. Jeremy - will liquidfeedback do that? can it accommodate people who think and express themselves in languages other than English for example? (The language issue was very evident in Argentina) And how technically able do you need to be to use it, because the constituency of people who are affected (see earlier definitions of stakeholder that have been suggested) is much greater than those with technical ability.</div>
<div>A problem with NETmundial was the perception that, in the end, important parts of the decision-making were done in a closed session.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 1 August 2014 00:52, Ian Peter <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ian.peter@ianpeter.com" target="_blank">ian.peter@ianpeter.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
