[governance] My note on CSTD IGF WG consultation Dec 17

[Fouad Bajwa]

One thing missing from all these series of events is media pressure
that does knock sense into governments is properly coordinated and
moved forward. The initial media reports on not so large networks was
a good start but it would have been more powerful if all the major
online news networks were targeted with news reports bring attention
to this issue globally. Its not too late either. The google blog entry
did find way into many information and media networks and a much more
coordinated effort between the various stakeholder groups can take
this further!
