Dear Carlos, FWIW.

>From the WSIS preparation (2002) till now (2012) an enormous amount of
intellectual exchanges has occurred among stakeholders. Understanding
internet governance issues has progressed substantially. On the other hand
no concrete evolution has taken place. US positions are dead set against
any sharing of internet governance, and in the present context it is deemed
to become ever more rigid and conflictual.

The only forces able to bring about changes are governments initiatives to
organize national governance on their part of the internet. However there
does not appear much commonality in ways they are proceeding. To keep
dialog going on, the IGF should change its ritual theme driven structure.
Instead, governments should be invited to present their internet strategy
along with predictable risks and benefits.
