We further recognize the need for enhanced cooperation in the future, to enable governments, on an equal footing, to carry out their roles and responsibilities, in international public policy issues pertaining to the Internet, but not in the day-to-day technical and operational matters, that do not impact on international public policy issues.

Therefore RIR, IETF, ICANN and such of the I* group remain 'safe' and excluded from enhanced cooperation discussions and any ' institutional solutions' that may emerge out of them. 

So those years of debate about enhanced cooperation => “oversight” of CIR organizations were just a dream?

Wasn’t the CIRP supposed to be all about operationalizing enhanced cooperation?   Didn’t the proposal say, "The CIRP shall be mandated to undertake the following tasks...Develop and establish international public policies with a view to ensuring coordination and coherence in cross-cutting Internet-related global issues; Coordinate and oversee the bodies responsible for technical and operational functioning of the Internet, including global standards setting…”

Evolution is good, revisionism is not.

Best,

Bill
