[governance] After Tunis

[Vittorio Bertola]

All,

I'm not very happy for the fact that proposals and even names for the 
after-Tunis period have already started to circulate. I think we should 
stop that discussion until the caucus meeting, and perhaps plan for an 
open process to address it in full.

In any case, I think that if this caucus wants to turn into anything 
serious, then it should first of all become serious in its structure and 
procedures, that should be well defined, open, transparent, and 
democratic. We can't complain about the failures and captures of ICANN 
or of the UN, and then operate through ways that are ill defined, 
intransparent, undemocratic, and, in practice, determined by a small 
circle of a few individuals who are friends each of the other and have 
been working together for years.

This is not anyone's fault, but let's not think that a mailing list in 
which 90% of the messages come from ten people (and in which everyone 
else often gets ignored) can claim to be representative for global civil 
society in future IG processes, ok? If we want to make that claim, then 
we must do plenty of homeworks.

Thanks,
