[governance] Networkworld: ICANN Sets Up A Coalition to address new Internet governance challenges

[michael gurstein]

I’m thinking that if ICANN is so concerned to ensure a broad base of interested parties to address Internet Governance issues perhaps it could use some of it’s “tax revenue” as the gate keeper to the Internet to establish a fund to provide a solid and independent base of funding support to help build and support Civil Society in this area rather than, as appears currently to be the case, attempting through (selectively) widening the base of ICANN’s activity (and perk/travel funding) to absorb/incorporate/coopt leading elements of those in Civil Society with an interest in/knowledge about Internet Governance issues.
