Hi,

Ok, I understand that you think anyone who disagrees with Parminder is a neolib "CommIntern" member, with a big ego.

But what interests are you accusing them (or is it all of us who disagree) with having?

With a handful of other friends in the C&T Group, I was working on CS implication and recommendations in international cooperation. I submitted proposals in this theme which is closely related to development theme and issues. In this working group multilateralisme was one of our commonly agreed principles as it was finally expressed in our Declaration after C&T and Plenary consent.

When will we be forced to revise our Declaration for the sake of consistency and credibility ?  This leads us straight to a very disturbing situation where CS is losing its values just because of a dozen neolibs and some oversized egos.

I mean the OECD's Committee For Information, Computer and Communication Policy, which has a very active portfolio for helping develop Internet policies, esp those with trans-border ramification. Many CS members in the IGC have actively organized themselves to associate with the work of this OECD's institutional framework.

My proposal is for a global framework of similar kind (to OECD's) that will help develop globally applicable Internet related public policies, which is what the 'enhanced cooperation' process is about, that is much more multistakeholder than the existing OECD one
