[governance] FINAL VERSION OF THE Netmundial DOCUMENT

Let us say that "useful idiot" is a very apt description of a class of civil society whose goals you say we're not met by this outcome document are those who were not willing to find consensus and instead concentrated on conflict, political maneuvring and any other generally unproductive behavior.   

Nor did they apparently invest too much time in finding out what the consensus is.  Which entirely fails to surprise me about how the outcome language didn't match their ideologically loaded cant.

The fundamental winner seems to be Google. Civil Society looks being a superficial non-loser, i.e. a useful idiot. Deafening are  the Russian and Chinese silences.
