[governance] URGENT: Last call for feedback on CS participation in NETmundial Initiative

[Louis Pouzin (well)]

Hi all,

Quite obviously if WEF is interested in CS joining in NMI it's because it
helps WEF interests, which are well known to side with power and money. The
idea of influencing WEF for CS interests sounds like fairy tale. CS would
be trapped in accepting to appear supporting WEF interests, and would lose
credibility.

Therefore I think CS should not participate in the NMI.

Louis.
