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

[Lee McKnight]

Here's a suggestion:

Let's apply the same logic to all the other sessions, and say,  let's
talk about what the title of the session means to Internet users.
Actually not a bad idea to keep us grounded.

I understand as the first time on the IGF agenda 'Critical Internet
Resources' will take some defining, just seems off if those on the panel
because they have something to do with critical internet resources now 
essentially say their selection was a mistake because the topic is
really  Internet user needs.

In which case we need more sociologists, anthropologists, and market
researchers and should substitute them for the people who represent
things formerly known as critical Internet resources ; ) Just a
suggestion.

Hi,

I agree that arguing over the discussion will waste time in Rio.   
But  not everyone accepts the same definition as you do and perhaps  
they would find that discussing cIr as defined by you would waste  
their time on future problems as opposed to the problems they face  
today.

hmm, the only reason for disagreement?  do you really believe all the 

people on this list are trying to divert attention.  i don't exclude  
the possibility that this may motivate some, but i do not think that  
can be said of everyone who disagrees with you.

a.
