[governance] IGF Review Question 6 start

[Eric Dierker]

Yes indeed.  Leave the below out of any suggestions.  Great for goals and cheerleading but very destructive to building foundations.  People must get the fact that caring for the needy via the internet is not grassroots, it is empathy, not work limiting accomodation. At best teh below approach will lead us to form general policy based on isolated non-representative experience and at norm lead us moribound into more worry about an individual or inclusiveness than results.  "Governance" is not the idea of developing, it is the idea of working with what we have, or what comes into it, not what will make us feel good.
 
In short - you do not form a governance model and then say "Now let us go out and find folks to govern".  Townhall meeting concepts are for pr and politics.

Sylvia and Erik, thanks for your comments.

Erik, did you have any specific requests, or just positive feedback for Jeremy's addition? If there was a change implied, I did not get it.


And here we include for example, Indigenous peoples worldwide, people with disabilities, rural people and particularly those who are the poorest of the poor and often landless or migrants, those concerned with promoting peer to peer and open access governance structures built on an electronic platform, those looking to alternative modes of Internet governance as ways of responding to specific localized opportunities and limitations, and those working as practitioners and activists in implementing the Internet as a primary resource in support of broad based economic and social development.
