Question number 8 -"What are the most appropriate mechanisms to fully 
implement enhanced cooperation as recognized in the Tunis Agenda, 
*including* on international public policy issues pertaining to the 
Internet and*public policy issues associated with coordination and 
management of critical Internet resources*? *(emphasis added)"

*The question clearly seeks response as to what changes/ evolution the 
respondent wants to see in global IG mechanism, including in that part 
dealing with coordination and management of critical Internet resources.

Why did ARIN and others not say in their response that they would like 
to see "truly substantial" evolution/ change in these mechanisms as they 
exist today, as the Montevideo statement seem to indicate.

For convenience of others here, I quote as below the response that ARIN 
gave to the above question in their response to WGEC. (Similar responses 
were given by other signatories of the Montevideo statement)

    "Since their inception, many of the organizations associated with
    the coordination and management of critical Internet number
    resources have employed various media such as open mailing lists,
    websites and open face-to-face meetings, to reach those with an
    interest in these topics. Additionally, the IGFs on all levels,
    national, regional and global, have been instrumental in encouraging
    interaction between the stakeholders. The increase in communications
    and outreach has resulted in a better understanding of the issues
    for all involved stakeholders."


Does it sound like ARIN seeks "truly substantive" evolution/ change 
anywhere at all? Not to me.
