Well, it's not just him, there are a number of ppl on this list that
labor under misunderstandings/misapprehensions regarding the 3 Cs
model of Communication, Collaboration and Cooperation as practiced by
ISOC/IETF/ICANN/RIRs, etc.
They don't grok the notion that these groups already represent a
multistakeholder model that has worked very well for a very long time.
Couple that with a penchant for seeing ICANN as the new North Korea,
and ISOC as a shill for corporate America, and you have a recipe for
the creation of a "Bad Idea Force" as seen in Issue 2 of this
hilarious and quite educational comic series:

This is like the old "Peter Packet" cartoon from Cisco, but for the IG arena.

Thank you for this first hand account.

Better yet, join ISOC (globally or local chapter) and get involved in
the fight against "Agent FUD"
