[governance] Inquiry for a new vision into the future of IGC

[Deirdre Williams]

I agree with Mawaki's suggestion to share ideas about this issue online.
Apart from other considerations the list provides a much more inclusive
space for discussion. Many IGC members haven't even considered the
possibility of going to Istanbul for all sorts of reasons - family
obligations, funding, travel restrictions, work ... I am lucky enough to be
able to consider going, but I'm still looking for funds.

My take on the IGC? I still feel that, in spite of all the difficulties
there have been, the IGC still provides a space to aggregate many of the
differing views that "civil society" holds about Internet governance.
Please note that I said "many" not "all". I believe that this aggregation
is important and useful, and worth investing some energy to ensure that it
continues.

To create an umbrella organisation like ICCBasis - I agree with what
Michael Gurstein said later in this thread, thank him for reminding us of
the part played by trust (lack of) in this whole consideration, and would
like to comment directly on some of the points he raises.

I hope very much that this will be a fruitful and productive discussion.
Deirdre
