Yes, David, the "network model" is a purely rhetorical nonsolution to a real problem. Networks are basically about voluntary association with no clearly defined procedures. In fact, we (remnants of WSIS-CS) are already in a network form of organization. We are also very much in the "competitive marketplace" for influence, and anyone who thinks that a network gets you out of that is being quite unrealistic.
