  Could you elaborate some on your point above?  I am sure that 
  there are countless one-sided meetings and conferences that 
  go on everyday (and very little that can be done to prevent 
  that without impact to the cherished principle of freedom of
  association)

  Isn't the defense against such influences to government and the
  Internet found in: 1) Having processes for Internet governance 
  that are open, transparent, and inclusive, and 2) Minimizing 
  the unilateral role of any one government in setting Internet 
  policy?
