[governance] Re: IG questions that are not ICANN [was: Irony]

[Lee McKnight]

Hi,

In this world of glass houses/semi-transparent processes, I also believe
it would be a mistake not to take advantage as Bill and Suresh are
suggesting, of what the ITU can do/where it is contributing, even if
that is not the whole story.  

For example, if big chunks of industry think the ITU's next generation
networks standards will 'resolve' major parts of the cybersecurity
puzzle, I would advise civil society to be paying attention to ITU too.
As apparently a few individuals are doing.  And if Suresh is offering a
way into the labyrinth, some CSers should step through. After you ; )

Why ask for a seat at the table in ICANN for that matter?

This - again - sounds like sour grapes.
