[governance] Re: [bestbits] NetMundial Alliance

[Jean-Christophe Nothias]

Here is the transcript of what FC said when he closed the GAC/Board meeting with this statement (sorry about the caps lock):

FINALLY, I JUST WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE ALLIANCE. AS I SAID YESTERDAY, ICANN HAS BEEN DOING A BIT OF EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY IN THE SPACE OF INTERNET GOVERNANCE. OUR JOB IS TO COORDINATE NAMES AND NUMBERS. IT IS NOT TO SOLVE INTERNET GOVERNANCE FOR THE WORLD. HOWEVER, WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT WE LIVE IN AN ECOSYSTEM, AND IF THAT ECOSYSTEM CONTINUES AT EVERY TURN TO QUESTION MULTISTAKEHOLDERISM AND HOW WE WORK TOGETHER AND HOW WE MAKE DECISIONS, THAT'S NOT HEALTHY. AND, FRANKLY, SOME OF US HAD BECOME A LITTLE BIT TIRED OF BEING DEFENSIVE ABOUT THE GREAT MODEL THAT LED TO THIS INCREDIBLE THING WE CALL THE INTERNET. 
AND SO A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, WE ENGAGED IN A POSITIVE, CONSTRUCTIVE EFFORT TO SHOW THAT MULTISTAKEHOLDERISM ACTUALLY WORKS. WE CONTRIBUTED TO 1NET, TO NETMUNDIAL, TO THE ILVES PANEL. 
BUT IT IS ALSO TIME FOR ICANN TO STEP BACK IN LINE AND TO JOIN A BROADER GROUP. WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO BE LEADING THIS ALONE. SO WE ARE BRINGING ALONG OUR TECHNICAL COMMUNITY, OTHER GOOD INSTITUTIONS AND GOVERNMENTS THAT BELIEVE IN A MODEL OF GOVERNANCE THAT SUPPORTS AN OPEN INTERNET, SUPPORTS AN INTERNET ECONOMY THAT THRIVES, SUPPORTS ALL THE THINGS THAT MANY OF US BELIEVE IN.
