CS consensual statement on MSism WAS Re: [governance] Vint Verf tells us the conclusion of the complex IANA transition process

[Jovan Kurbalija]

Norbert, I can confirm your point on inclusion and participation with a foreign passport, from my own personal experience,.

The Swiss political system provides quite a few useful approaches for IG. A well-developed subsidiarity system is one of them. The Geneva Internet Conference (18-19 November 2014) will include sessions with Swiss experts on subsidiarity, and other approaches that may inspire discussion on the future IG architecture. Here is the current info about the Conference:  http://gip.diplomacy.edu/events/geneva-internet-conference-internet-governance-crossroads .

To the list members: Please drop me an e-mail if you want to be updated about the preparations for the Conference, and the briefing that we plan to organize during the IGF in Istanbul.

Best regards, Jovan

Note: If you have been waiting for a reply from me, this might explain my tardiness. Thank you for your patience!
