[governance] [bestbits] Remarks at UNESCO Closing Ceremony of "Connecting the Dots Conference"

[Benedek, Wolfgang (wolfgang.benedek@uni-graz.at)]

As a participant and speaker in the UNESCO conference Connecting the dots: Options for future action  in Paris I think it is important to put the record straight: the main purpose of the conference was to give feedback to the UNESCO draft Internet study and advise on the future priorities in this field. This was done in several plenary and 16 breakout sessions in a MSH-approach quite successfully.
The fact that two concepts important to some did not make it into the outcome document should not be overestimated as this is all work in progress. Also other concepts dear to others were not or only partly included. I also do not remember that these concepts were elaborated on during the sessions or panels in any significant way in order to deepen their understanding.

Wolfgang Benedek

This Connecting the Dots conference was more of a Dotting the I's, to make sure the message was clear

The outcome document was endorsed by applause, à la Net Mundial, without signatories.

By diktat, "democracy" is now incompatible with multi-stakeholder.

This confirms that "multi-stakeholder" is window-dressing, since it clearly means multi-stakeholdup of UN by the USG.
  .
Cheers. Louis.
