[governance] Does ICANN protect multistakeholderism?

[Deirdre Williams]

For me this has become the year when the issue of "veneered participation"
(see Richard Heeks' 1999 paper
http://www.sed.manchester.ac.uk/idpm/research/publications/wp/di/documents/di_wp04.pdf
)
has loomed particularly large. The offer of and insistence on
"participation" sounds more and more like the "bread and circuses" to keep
the masses happy. For this reason I belong to the cautious wait and see
group. Such a short time ago we learned that we have been comprehensively
betrayed. Isn't caution one of the lessons of betrayal?
Hoping that everyone within reach of the cyclone in India is safe.
