[governance] Multistakeholder model

[michael gurstein]

Really glad to see this McTim.  I was getting a bit worried that we would
actually have a definition of the "MS model" to discuss but I'm glad you
have reassured us that it was all a false alarm and the MS model is still
the shape shifting wraith that so many folks here in CS have come to know
and love...

Only in part.

There are other standards bodies, other orgs that work on numbers, hundreds
of DNS orgs, and lots of folk in issue areas that have self-organised in
many hundreds of  CS bodies to tackle challenges they see.

Don't get distracted by something that was probably initially drafted by a
20 year old Congressional intern!
