I agree.  Have stated that time and time again.  The WSIS process as a
representative process is mainly bogus.  People have spent a great deal of
time and money on talk which ultimately will look good to show consensus
was attempted but in the end result no one inpower is going to give them
much attention.

Exactly.  The level of education and understanding of the DNS and internet
protocol in general is to a great extent non existent across all
participants including government representatives.

I likewise found the Brazilian opinion on root servers very refreshing.
It show me the Brazilians did some research - alot more then anyone has.
