The government representatives were all on topic.  With a few exceptions, the nongovernmental representatives were typically off topic, long self indulgent speeches about their own activities, views on the state of the world, etc.  It's hard to see how that helped make the case for the superiority and necessity of a multistakeholder process.  Reminiscent of some similar WSIS episodes, and arguably underscores that Geneva is a better setting for us than NYC.

Hopefully the Brazil-India-South Africa text proposing a strictly intergovernmental group will be posted somewhere….

Best,
