[governance] News from this week's MAG call?

[Norbert Bollow]

Hmm... what are the “Global Multi-Stakeholder Cyber Ethics Principles”, and
why are they going to be discussed in the absence of civil society? Are
invitations to participate in that “High Level Leaders Meeting” available
as part of some kind of sponsorshop package?

Greetings,
Norbert
