[governance] Ism or not Ism ?

[Izumi AIZU]

As a latecomer to this very interesting debate, I like to share my views.
First, I am not a big fan of "ism", but, as Bertrand tried, I am very much
in favor of the multistakeholder process or approach, far better than
UN model of governments making all decisions out of their inter-governmental
negotiations, most of which at WSIS were very un-constructive so to speak,
when, at least, it came to "internet governance" issues.

The beauty of  multistakeholder process or approach has been, in my view,
all stakeholders work together to reach agreement, on one way or other.
In that sense, it is not a silo model, but collaboration as the key.

Excluding any major voice/stakeholder will result in a very negative,
outcome and hence not accepted by all.

I do agree that it is not perfect (yet) and problematic, such as
democracy as it is the worst form of governance except for all those
others that have been tried."

It is not a proven model yet, but work in progress, and that is why it
is, in a way
attractive for us.
