[governance] multistakeholderism

[Michael Gurstein]

I was referring to WSIS but my experience from Hyderabad was that it wasn't
all that much different (at least among those who were "moving and shaking"
the event...(and dare I say this discussion/the IGC.

Maybe a few more women, a few more folks from the Global South but not too
many and certainly not much more broadly representative or with any clearer
lines of transparency, accountability...

And I'm still waiting for a substantive answer to my question.

while this describe some of you.
i don't think it represents most.

perhaps you haven't been looking closely enough lately.

need to outreach more.
but this yet another old tired chestnut.
that is less and less true.
as the days go by.

in fact, in my experience,  lately the "highly educated, self-selected,

have been whinging because nobody ever picks them to do anything anymore.
