[bestbits] [governance] Rousseff & Chehade: Brazil will host world event on Internet governance in 2014

[parminder]

I am great votary of both (1) civil society jumping headlong into all 
*important* *global* IG processes, whether *UN or not*, and (2) fluid 
agendas ...

However cant but note a point. I had earlier repeatedly called for us to 
look into OCED's CICCP related *global* Internet policy development 
processes and its outcomes, and the process and outcomes of the Seoul 
cyber conference (or the London and Budapest series).... In fact I kept 
insisting  that we do so .... But with a very lukewarm response if any.....

How do we square such cascading support for taking charge of the 
Brazil's new proposed (hardly born yet) process with this earlier 
attitude....

Why is that all processes where developing countries have important, or 
even significant, role require urgent examination and intervention, but 
those led by developed countries perhaps considered, what is it, 
friendly, safe ..... ??

Now, before anyone gets offended.... let me say, no personal offence 
intended, mine is (and is always) a political statement in  a political 
space.... And I cant but do what I consider is my job as political civil 
society, with strong leanings towards Southern and other marginalised 
interests.

Thanks for understanding, parminder
