[governance] Google's Fight the ITU/WCIT website

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

Yes.  And my point has been to decry the use of propaganda methods in civil society discourse  about internet governance, by attacking the motives of other stakeholders rather than addressing the points that they have raised so far.

I haven't yet seen you pointing that out to Parminder, though doubtless you've done so "offlist".

You have made your point.  I have made mine.  Now, let us end this thread.
