[governance] Re: [bestbits] Nnenna to Keynote at Netmundial - Civil Society major issues

[Anriette Esterhuysen]

Congrats Nnenna!

Put on one of your fabulous outfits, and then remind them, that working
inclusively and respectfully with all stakeholder groups, particularly
those that lack power and influence - i.e. civil society - is very
different from putting on a colourful West African outfit :) It takes
hard work, change in behaviour, change in structures and procedures,
consultation, respect, trust, debate, and struggle, because do not
always agree. It also requires a common framework of principles that
defines what the public interest is in internet governance that can be
used to promote and protect this public interest across the internet
governance ecosystem and it is this framework that we trust the
NetMundial can get us closer to.

You could also mention surveillance, with particularly - but not only -
mass surveillance demonstrating how easy it is to destroy trust, and to
deny accountability. And, is there any tougher test for
multi-stakeholder internet governance? I think it would be good to get
the message accross that the IANA transition is not the only issue that
NetMundial should be discussing, but at the same time, it is a key
opportunity to come up with solutions and approaches that are not simply
cosmetic.
