[governance] please read: APC text on Forum function

[Lee McKnight]

Karen, Bill,

I appreciate your intent Karen and APC's intent but agree with Bill
that 'binding international agreements' on openness is a contradication
in terms that will never fly.

Language more along the lines that the forum's efforts should keep in
mind the need to preserve the Internet's essential features, such as,
'openness etc..' might have the opposite effect of making agreement
easier, since then the forum is signalling the techies that it will not
muck things up.

I am very strongly opposed to putting this in the forum, and believe
it
will provide the USA and business with a big opening to reject the
forum
outright.  I hope you will reconsider, it's dangerous.

Rest is consistent more or less with IGcaucus etc.
