Trimmed for commercial community pads receivers and to stay as 
non-partisan as possible.

Suresh,

We confuse the usual consensus/compromise issue. We disagree on 
compromise: therefore the consensus can only be a multi-consensus. It 
means that we have consensually described and report our lack of 
consensus, which the sub-consensus are, and the way for the various 
identified sub-consensual communities interelate.

The question is: "do we trust Milton to present this multi-consensus, 
or do we fear he introduces his own vision of a compromise?"
The issue is: "what is to be enhanced cooperation within the Internet 
Governance?".

The IGF is the Internet Governance Forum, for Govs, Corps, 
International Orgs and CS to concert about the Internet and develop 
enhanced cooperations supported by dynamic coalitions. The task of 
understanding what is enhanced cooperation was to be worked on 
through the IGF.

This has been done:

- most of the CS (most people on this list) and Govs have worked 
along an intellectual/legal point approach of the Governance.

- for two years last week, those (including CS people like me) who 
have worked from a pragmatic evaluation of the Internet have
   - come to a paradigmatic/consensual understanding,
   - published it,
   - and acted upon it.

   - I questionned that understanding (IETF appeal) because it could 
be out of tune with the CS and Govs (WCIT) majority approaches.

   - However, while I was reaching the ultimate layer (ISOC appeal), 
the NTIA preempted their response in bridging their minority (WCIT) 
Government position both with the technical community consensus, and 
with the common thinking of the industry incumbents (which 
geographically fall under US legal jurisdiction).

The question becomes: "do we think Milton will think and speak along 
an obsolete or an up to date reality framework?".

Depending on the case Milton will either sound as:
- out of tune with all those who have accepted it (we are talking 
about their "huge bounty").
- or able to correct the probably suicidal money centric creep and 
lead it back to its people centered assignement.


For the time being "Enhanced cooperation" has therefore been:

- defined:  at the normative layer
   by the OpenStand (RFC 6852) Affirmation,

- approved: at the strategic layer
   by the Montevideo Statement,

- enacted: at the political layer
   by SaoPaulo's NetMundial

- now pursued: at global governance layer
   by its economical WEF planned mentors.

The eventual questions therefore are:

1. "do we trust Milton to present this multi-consensus, or do we fear 
he introduces his own vision of a compromise?"
2. "do we believe Milton will think and speak along an obsolete or an 
up to date reality framework?".
3. more seriously: "is the US/WEF scheme credible in the middle range?"

NB. WEF/Davos:

- Wikipedia: "The foundation is funded by its 1,000 member companies, 
typically global enterprises with more than five billion dollars in 
turnover (varying by industry and region). These enterprises rank 
among the top companies within their industry and/or country and play 
a leading role in shaping the future of their industry and/or region").

- In our internet world we know them as the US GAFAM+:  they are the 
leaders of RFC 6852 business "global communities" accumulating the 
RFC 6852 "huge bounty".
