[governance] Re: [IGP-ANNOUNCE] IGP Alert: Reforming ICANN Oversight: A Historic Opportunity

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

There isn't any "IGF" as such - only some extraordinarily vocal sections of
civ soc, some sections of government (which may be a bit different, in some
cases, from the GAC regulars), some industry etc.  Yes there'd be a
substantial cross section of these that are active in ICANN, but ..

 

1.       There's no meaningful consensus likely to be achieved, especially
with politically charged proposals

2.       DoC isn't going to give up oversight, no matter what kind of pipe
dream proposals emanate from IGF, IGP etc

Oversight: A Historic Opportunity

 

So which is this IGF that wont like an ICANN accountable to it.... and why
?????

This is a set of probing questions. And if Jeremy's observation be true,
would it not signify a captured institution. I am not jumping to any
conclusions (as yet) but drawing implications from some elements of this
discussion, which probably will provoke more debate in this important area.
