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

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

The second seems much more sustainable long term. Or at least ICANN gets to choose which civil society organizations it decides to fund. Funding an organization that is entirely at cross purposes policy wise with them, and/or seems to feel IG is best served by attacking ICANN at every opportunity doesn't appear to make as much sense as it should.
