[bestbits] Is IGF becoming traditional diplomatic meeting?

[Adam Peake]

Hi Joana,

It was a good session, enjoyed your comments <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf-2013-transcripts/1439-taking-stock-emerging-issues--internet-surveillance> A surprise so little participation from civil society.  We make noise, but not when it counts.

I am sitting in a panel about cybersecurity with a US gov representative and Google and no Civil society on the panel (just governments and industry). There is almost no civil society organizations present in room. Is this out of our radar? For our friends in the list who are CS from the US: wouldn't that be a good opportunity to confront your government publicly?
