[bestbits] [governance] Fw: [IP] ISOC Board Statement on the Net Mundial Initiative

[William Drake]

Hi

Kathy was very skeptical at the 28 August meeting held at WEF, so it’s no surprise.  At the time her concerns seemed to focus mostly on procedural aspects, the way the whole thing was being teed up, explained and constituted, which was bugging a lot of people.   I think the organizers tried to accommodate some of the push back they received, e.g. by inviting the CSCG to review CS proposals and bless five, but ambiguities remain as we’ve discussed.  

What the ISOC statement does not do is assess whether the idea of such a platform could be substantively useful.  The case there alas has not been made clearly enough yet either.  I have to admit I don’t quite get ISOC’s statement that "no single, global platform that can serve to coordinate, organize or govern all the Internet issues,” since that clearly is not what’s being proposed.

In any event, if more networks decide not to participate in providing names the organizers will indeed be free to compose the CC however they like.

Best

Bill
