[governance] Comments on Rio - Suggestions for Delhi -

[Lee McKnight]

I beg to differ with Suresh. 'Soft as a whisper' oversight of ICANN by
IGF began in Athens. It was more explicit in Rio, and will continue in
New Delhi. 

It's not a matter for consensus on this list or elsewhere, it's just
what's happening.  More debatable is how it evolves from there.

* EC is very important - and there is extensive scope within the
existing
mechanism for this.

* Trying to gain even soft oversight functions over ICANN is a
nonstarter
and doesn't have much consensus here

They were, and rightly so. I find it amazing that CS groups that already
do
such a lot of this tend to play down its importance.
