[governance] What IGF is for? ONI Asia event rattled by UN

[Shahzad Ahmad]

Dear Colleagues,

Did discuss this with quite a few friends here and most of them agree for a joint action. How and what I don't know but probably civil society representatives speaking on the plenary can mention this appalling event and register the concern. Just a suggestion and then I will really suggest MAG members to take this up with IGF.

But I would really urged on the caucus members attending IGF to take this up strongly otherwise, such things will keep happening more and more in future too. 

best wishes
Shahzad

  I do not think a boycott is the answer. It removes the people who most object to the action... I think an effort should be made to bring this up as an issue. Can the IGC coordinate on this?

      Shahzad, 

      Truly outrageous, your group should really complain to Markus and get 
      your books back immediately, with an apology. 

      I think this shows how misguided it is to have gov'ts play an 
      increasingly large role in IG. 


    +1 

    Am I overreacting, or should those who do not have workshop commitments organise a boycott of the IGF tomorrow, and let the Secretariat know why? 

    In any case, I hope as many people will tweet and blog about this appalling action.
