AW: [governance] ICANN - regulator or the regulated

Tue Jul 1 11:43:52 EDT 2014

Yes, let's hope Julia will attend more ICANN meetings, but let's wait to see her reaction. I find it a bit amusing that you are so sure about her changing her mind. Ne prenons nos désirs pour des réalités, Wolfgang.

Chartering new territories is, and has always been, a very challenging task. With a compass and few other instruments, travelers were able to sail for the high seas, at last. Today, what's our compass? I only see democracy as a solid and trustful compass. So let's see how, departing from the democratic multistakeholder model defined in Sao Paulo, we can improve Internet governance. Let's see, if permitted, where it would lead us to explore Internet governance with democratic perspective and principles as our common compass for the common goods. Then we would set accountable entities (with check and balance duly performed), protecting us against monopolies and abuse of power... ICANN legitimacy is more than ever at stake, and not only on Internet Governance issue (I agree with Fadi last comments in London, that this is not ICANN business per say anyway) but also with the DNS management and all of its functions and features. Let' snot be afraid of innovation in Internet Governance, if we have a true compass. That will bring trust within l'équipage and help every one to journey safely to establish new frontiers. Civil society is there to hold that democratic ideal, even in Internet governance, where everything is not just happening for the sake of public interest. (Hi guys from the business!)

> I hope that Julia will participate in more ICANN Meetings. She could join NCUC, a good place also for critical academics. I am sure, as soon as she gets more knowledge from inside the processes she will write another article. But it is good to broaden the discussion. Read the comments and what "Domainincite" has said. Sailing backwards is not the answer to meet the challenges of the 21st century when you have to charter new territory.
