[governance] IGF and Enhanced Cooperation

[michael gurstein]

Lee, 

I think a lot of the MSM (mainstream media) do in fact seem to equate
"Internet oversight" with "Internet control" and even one or two of our
esteemed CS colleagues seem to make that unfortunate connection (Bill, I'm
still waiting for an answer to the question I asked some time ago--see
attachment.

Best,

Mike

...

PS: The worst headline we can anticipate is 'People threaten to provide
oversight to the Internet' or some such, so politically speaking I think we
can get away with this.

Any diary clash that prevents an important stakeholder group from attending
should be taken into consideration.

It's irrelevant whether or not the clashing event is part of the same
process. eg If there was a special intersessional ICANN GAC meeting that
Monday, which is certainly not part of the IGF, it would be rude to arrange
an event to clash with it.
