AW: [governance] Re: [bestbits] Surveillance paragraph of netmundial document

["Kleinwächter, Wolfgang"]

Parminder: 
The EU Working party seeks: " An international agreement providing adequate protection against indiscriminate surveillance" and "development of a global instrument providing for enforceable, high level privacy and data protection principles as agreed upon by the International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners in their Madrid Declaration"That is what we should be talking about, not the vacuous statements of the public NetMundial outcome draft, which in fact are not innocent because they seek a multistakeholder public policy decision making model which will simply make such kinds of agreements impossible...

Wolfgang:
You are confusing things. The Multistakeholder Model does not exclude intergovernmental treaties. The problem today is that those (old and new) intergovernmental treaties are embedded into this new multistakeholder environment and governments have to take more into account than their own interests if they agree on legally binding mutual rights and duties. The world today is bigger and much more differentiated than "black vs. white". Simplification is very often misleading and triggers conflicts instead  enhanced commmunication, coordination and collaboration.
