[governance] IGF Cancelled

[Nick Ashton-Hart]

If the time and energy that was spent on black helicopter thinking was spent on helping to fix the problem of sustainable funding for the IGF then we'd be a lot farther along than we are. Whether or not your POV is accurate, Parminder, wouldn't it be more useful to focus on fixing the funding problem so that it no longer matters whether you are right or not?

As a friend in Geneva said recently, there is making a point, and there is making a difference. Given the situation we are in, could we please aim for the latter and not the former?

Sooner the democratic and pulbic interest minded civil socity actors in the IG space understand the game and distance themselves from it, the better. In fact to do so is crucial if democracy is to be saved.
