[bestbits] CSCG - participation in selection of civil society representatives for NMI Coordination Council

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I agree about the high water mark, while noting that part of that was
based on an IGF outcome to make such such a recommendation.  As most
thing in ecosystems, things in one part need to affect other parts.

But I also argue that this recognition needs to be brought to all these
other places and made an integral part of their policies and
implementations otherwise they end up worthy but ineffective words.

.... -> IGF -> HRC -> [ICANN, IETF, ITU, NMI, ...] -> IGF -> ...
