[governance] Slide on Indian proposal

[Lee W McKnight]

I am sorry to have missed it; but 'highly charged' is the temperature real, substantive, policy debates often reach. 

So sounds like just what we had hoped for, a serious discussion on real issues rather than...pretending those issues do not exist.

Well done IGC, to have got the discussion - charged up.  

Not that I am endorsing every aspect of the indian proposals, but certainly IGF is the place for these discussions to begin.

And Jeremy - thanks for the - brief report : ).

Lee

This is not a report from "Reflections on the Indian Proposal towards an IGF 2.0", but just a copy of the slide containing those proposals, which Bertrand has requested me to post to this list.

But since I'm posting anyway, I'll just mention that it was quite a highly charged session.  Luis Magalhaes of Portugal directly attacked the IBSA proposal, saying that it would kill the multistakeholder process.  Romulo Neves (Brazil) and Ravi Shanker (INdia) were both there to defend it.

On the IGF improvements, Parminder stated his view that nobody who claims to support the multi-stakeholder process could fail to support the Indian proposals, whereas Craig Reilly of the US government was completely opposed to the proposals, claiming that they would turn the IGF into an intergovernmental process.
