[governance] Caucus Position on Oversight?

[Ian Peter]

Count me in on this agreement as well -

Sounds to me like we have a broad consensus on a non binding forum, given
Carlos's comments here.

Surprisingly, I find myself in significant agreement with the first two
steps of Carlos's concept of an ideal sequence.

An major changes in oversight require careful negotiation of principles
and also careful limitation of the powers of governments over the
Internet. This requires a negotiation and a process by which governments
and citizens can ratify (i.e., voluntarily accept) such an agreement.
