AW: [governance] Flash: World Economic Forum Issues 2015 Global Agenda

["Kleinwächter, Wolfgang"]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the WEF Report. If we describe ICANN as  the "microcosm" and WSIS/IGF/NetMundial as the "macrocosm" than this WEF report covers the "universe". The chapter on the Future of the Internet has some points (but also a number of omissions). I see a statement on p.89  which is interesting and which I can subscribe. The author supports a multistakeholder model with "no single point of failure or domination by a single group of set of interests". And furthermore: "We need a clearer understanding of the limits of goverment and corporate intervention online". Yes, this limits are needed. And civil society can and has to play here an important  watchdog role against any type of domination.

Wolfgang

The World Economic Forum (WEF) as part of its annual "Global Agenda"
activities (including concerning Internet Governance), has surveyed/Delphied
the global elite on global problems and their possible solutions.

The answer appears to be "more power to the global elite" (presumably
through the new multistakeholder structures which they are so effusively
advocating in this and other contexts).

(No this is not something from "the Onion" or "Netbiscuit".)
