[At-Large] Fwd: Re: ICANN Accountability Mechanisms

Now people are talking past each other. It's not the abstract concept of multistakeholder governance which is a problem. It is its application -- how people or groups become enfranchised to participate, possibly via representation, rather than just appear in long lists of "stakeholders". Without broad and meaningful enfranchisement any incarnation of multistakeholder governance lacks legitimacy. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs@TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
