Thought provoking article Alice. Thanks for sharing.
It seems to me that everywhere we look the Multi-stakeholder process of Internet governance is under attack. The article seems to suggest ( I hope not true) that the GAC has now morphed into a sort of Command &Control Mechanism within the ICANN ecosystem. Is this true?
Some in the GAC would like this to be the case. Even some of the local GAC folks.
How can the different players in the Internet Ecosystem ensure that we continue to have an even playing field between governments and non government players?
The African Network Information Centre has a Governmental Working Group, but it has zero policy making authority. Instead, government folks participate in policy making with all having an equal voice...it's "multi-equal stakeholderism" That is one concrete example. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek.
