AW: [governance] A false consensus is broken

[parminder]

Wolfgang,

We can carry on this discussion,  but please do give me some legitimate 
quarters...

I say that Eli's assertion is completely wrong on this part of the quote 
"/*...*//*need to consult with its capital (code in UN-speak for "not 
signing")"*/ as is obviously from what I write subsequently

I have no issues with Sweden's stand, and I know they are supporting the 
US on this.

/*Specific point, and please do respond*/ - do you, or dont know, agree 
that a making a generalised assertion that 'to say we want to consult 
the capital /*is code UN-speak for "not-signing"*/ is a false and 
misleading statement to make. (It doesnt matter what Sweden meant by 
saying this.)

And on basis of the wrong assertion, the writer of the article says that 
54 countries are backing the US position... Is it not a wrong or 
misleading statement to make...

So, Eli assertion is completely wrong."

"To consult with capital" in the case of Sweden means we will not sign it. The German government said "to consult with stakeholders".  You can look at the German civil society (www.netzpolitik.org) what they think about ITR.
