The assertion about this being "a survey that the organisers are
circulating" is not true. I have not in any way been consulted on the
contents of this survey, nor have I been given a link to this survey
before this posting was made, even though I'm the representative of the
Just Net Coalition (JNC) on the organizing group.

I don't believe that JNC would want to agree with or circulate a survey
which suggests "Multi-stakeholder governance" but which does not in any
way suggest Democracy.

Greetings,
Norbert
co.convenor, Just Net Coalition
