[governance] IGF and Enhanced Cooperation

[Andrea Glorioso]

Dear all,

both during the WSIS week in Geneva and recently on this mailing list I had
the occasion to hear/read a number of persons claiming (rather forcefully)
that the conclusions of the WSIS "clearly" meant the IGF to be the or at
least an instrument to implement Enhanced Cooperation.

Leaving aside for a moment the subsequent UNGA resolution on the matter
(but noting that even though, strictly speaking, we are not talking about
binding international law, the principle of "lex posterior" could apply) I
would be curious to know your views on which passages of the WSIS texts
could lead to such conclusion.

PS: re-reading WSIS texts is always interesting. For example, I
(re-)discovered that the IGF is meant to be "multilateral,
multi-stakeholder, democratic and transparent". So, at least in 2005, some
people believed multilateralism and multistakeholderism could live under
the same roof.

Best,

Andrea
