[governance] Civil Society (was Re: caucus contribution, consultation and MAG meeting)

[michael gurstein]

To be a wee bit philosophical here... We should probably be talking about those who are "in" CS (as for example, as a descriptive category for those not in government, business etc.etc.) in contrast with those who are "of" CS (i.e. those who have ascribed themselves or could be ascribed to sharing/advocating in support of some set of normative principles/values associated with CS...

In this determination, "stalkers" could be seen as "in" CS without necessarily be "of" CS (unless there was a grouping supporting "stalker rights" as part of a large CS rights and principles initiative :)

I am not sure if I understand you when you say stalkers are civil society. So they kind of present their claim and right to be stalkers....
