The IGC Charter states:

"""
Appropriate messages to an IGC list contribute to the objectives and
tasks of the IGC, particularly:

* To inform civil society and other progressive groups or actors on
  significant developments impacting on Internet governance policies.
* To anticipate, identify and address emerging issues in the areas of
  Internet governance and help shape issues and perspectives in a
  manner that is informed by the stated vision of the IGC
* To develop common positions on issues relating to Internet governance
  policies, and make outreach efforts both for informing and for
  creating broad-based support among other CS groups and individuals
  for such positions.
"""

In my view, a report about the US being significantly *perceived* as a
great “threat to peace” informs on “significant developments impacting
on Internet governance policies”. Perceptions drive policies.

By the way, postings which criticize a specific previous posting for
allegedly having been off-topic will usually not “contribute to the
objectives and tasks of the IGC”. This tends to render the criticism
off-topic regardless of how one sees the original posting that is being
criticized.

Greetings,
Norbert
