So, as I understand things, we want to convince the governments of the world to enter into a new treaty where there does not seem to be a huge amount of current interest. But not a regular treaty, but one in which governments sign onto it, but cede much
of their power to civil society, academics, the technical community and business. Oh yes, and End Users, a rather undefined term in their context.
I'm really good at putting large efforts into difficult projects, because there is merit in their success, but this one sounds just a bit (ok, a lot) too "iffy" for my comfort.

Olivier,
I got from Thomas's email that he proposes that we go outside of current norms and create a multistakeholder treaty model that incorporates all our stakeholder groups. Of course it doesn't exist now but we are in a transition phase so perhaps its timely.

- Where is Civil Society?
- Where are End Users?
- Where are the Technical & Academic Communities?
- Where is the Private Sector?
