Right!
The whole world is atwitter with the peer production phenomenon, (here's
one of the best and most recent entries: http://isbn.nu/978-1594201530 )
and we know that it bloody well works! 

The UN needs to let go enough to allow the repressed energy of the IGF
community to take up the slack. It simply needs to establish a neutral
framework for channeling that energy into performance of various
secretariat functions. The IGF will become much more successful if it
does so, and the UN will end up looking better. 

IGP hinted at this with the "Distributed Secretariat" paper years ago
