[governance] Organization Leaders and programming them out

[Eric Dierker]

New Organization and Leadership Paradigm

I will use Jefseys’ arguments and restate them in my way –
tsk tsk how rude and assumptuous*

What Jefsey is saying is that we do not need another
leader** That the new emerging order and what we should embrace in the MAG and
IGF and IGC…  Is a consensus and working
together and some sort of Utopian synergy. 
That we do not need leaders and that our rules and process and charts
should be only filled with facilitators and that scientific rather than
democratic rules should govern.  That is
beautiful and logical and pure socialism. 
It works wonderfully for getting things done,,, Well NO it does not.  See ICANN

As we see on this list, intellect and ideas are not missing.
Masses are not missing. Religion and Government is not missing.  Logic and rational thought are not missing. 

What is missing is passion and commitment.  Dedication and inspiration. Participation and
attraction. Popularity and any “sexiness”. 
There is not impetus.  It is so
respectful and sterile that it begs to be ignored.  We do not inspire here – We Conspire.

If we are to move in the direction of democratic self
governance and equality and human dignity in our twins the Net and Web, we must
begin to include and not do what we loath – dictate.  

Jefsey just wrote that within all walks and professions and
avocations are the good.  Basically that
we must focus on the positive and that deriding a profession or ilk for the
overbearance of a sect is not right.*** This is true.  Will Rogers did not say “I never met a man I
did not like” he said “I never met a man I could not find something to like
about” – a reflection not of mankind but of an attitude we should foster.

Leaders.  Yes Leaders
deserve no less.  How can we accept
bureaucrats, lawyers and techies and yet institutionally ban all leaders and
leadership as ICANN has done?  How can we
breed and create a social order with despise for leadership and yet accept all.
How can we organize and rally masses and the people without a call from a
leader?  Without clear evolutionary
leaders there is no one to go first, to brave the slings and arrows and attack
what is clearly a war against the individual and their rights.

Leadership must be protected in our continuing effort to
reorganize.  We do not need to appoint.
We do not need to set aside.  But we need
to create systems that allow for and do not block the individual with fire and
passion.  We must be mindful to keep open
the opportunity for folks to gather and elect and support and yes, passionately
endorse what one woman stands for and elevate her.  We must find some compromise between our
intellects and our compassion and let rise to an emotional pitch the protection
of our sacred and sacrosanct sanctity of Human dignity and Rights.  

Some would say it is not about personalities.  Well they would have their head in the sand.

For this we need leaders. 
Not Chairwomen who are titular at best.
