[governance] the continuing NN debate

[Avri Doria]

hi,

personally, i think so too.  i am afraid that governments would use  
the process of a Framework Convention to shut everyone else out.   
they still believe that they are the only actors with legitimacy.    
and since 'legitimacy' is self defined by governments, it stands to  
reason that they will not lightly give way.

this is not to say, that they would not give token observer status to  
some few from CS and the private sector - especially the private  
sector whose company they seem to prefer.  but neither the civil  
society nor the private sector participants would have any meaningful  
participation when it comes to deliberations or to making any of the  
decisions.

a.
