[governance] Text on oversight

[Jacqueline Morris]

Hi everyone
I'm concerned about 2 things mainly:
    * national governments, including intergovernmental organizations;
- do we usually lump them in together - like ITU and Iran?
    * the private sector, including the technical community;- Similarly
    * civil society, including the community of individual Internet
users, non-profit organizations and the academic community.

How about saying something like
"ICANN must ensure full and balanced multi-stakeholder participation,
in appropriate ways throughout its policy development structures, of
[the three stakeholder groups] ALL STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING:
*national governments,
 *intergovernmental organizations;
 * the private sector,
*the technical community;
 * civil society, including the community of individual Internet
users, non-profit organizations
  *and the academic community

Or not expanding it out and leaving it as the main WSIS agreed
stakeholders. Actually I prefer the longer list, not limiting it to
the agreed 3 groups.


Also:
"the current dominance of the ICANN Board and decision-making
processes by Western business representatives"
even if this is true, which I'm not sure it is, it seems to me to be
playing into the hands of those who want to place ICANN as a productof
the North that totally leaves out developign countries. So maybe we
could temper or preferably leave out totally?


Oherwise - seems great to me so far.
