[governance] Re: [discuss] Comcast undertakes 9 year IETF cosponsorship!?

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

Quite possibly, if we, for instance, take this caucus as a representative sample of civil society [though not a sufficiently random one, I fear]

And outreach outside the rather circumscribed circles we move in is essential.  For that - APRIGF will be collocated with a network operators conference, SANOG, in New Delhi in early august.  Those who are in the region or who can make it to New Delhi please do attend.

Coming back to the topic - But really, are there all that many civil society people who prefer only public funding and governmental oversight?
