[governance] For you as an Internet user, what is a "Critical Internet resource"?

[Robert Guerra]

Kieren:

I'm quite surprised by you response.

First - define people... An selected elite who actually know about IG  
issues, speak english and have access to the internet - or the "whole  
world" ?

Pro-active engagement, consultation and - dialogue - with those  
voices missing from the discussion is much needed.  While this space  
can provide a valuable venue for discussion  - it can not be seen as  
the sole authoritative space in IG. Different cultures have different  
modes of expression. While some may feel quite comfortable posting on  
a public list   - it is likely not the case for the majority.

What spaces do exist for dialogue, discussion and debate. hmm.. IGF  
perhaps?

regards

Robert
