[governance] Speakers for IGF - ideas?

[Dan Krimm]

Oh dear, I was afraid of that.  All of Kieren's work (and ours at KTCN)
gone for naught.

How disappointing.

If the links don't fit together inside ICANN's formal internal processes,
how can this public input be anything more than a charade?

(Please note: this is not a criticism of Kieren, as he has nothing
personally to do with these processes, unless he had some responsibility to
digest the comments for the Council and that didn't happen.  Again, it is
institutional in nature.)

Dan

PS -- BTW, how did the vote come out?  Did it just get the rubber stamp to
go to the Board in Los Angeles as-is?  We have more work to do at KTCN...
