[governance] US Support for Multistakeholder Governance is Conditional on US Remaining in Control

[Sivasubramanian M]

Pranesh,


As Padmini says her question was in two parts, could the response have been
for the first question and not for the questions together?  I have observed
that in panel discussions, in q&a sometimes the questions are either not so
well communicated, or not clearly heard and understood.

A No to the first part of the question is possible. It is well known that
US Government would not easily agree to a change in Jurisdiction.

But on the second part of the question, I would be very very surprised if
US would say that its support for the multistakeholder process is
conditional.  It can not possibly be. Any national government that supports
the multistakeholder process would so at a fundamental level,
unconditionally.

Hope that there is some clarification received from Larry Strickling on
this.
