Dear Yjro, Feels good to know that the rest of the world will not allow this threatening situation to prevail. :) On Sat, Dec 11, 2010 at 10:00 AM, Yrjö Länsipuro <yrjo_lansipuro@hotmail.com

All,
There are governments that like and defend the multistakeholder
approach
and those who rather would do without it. As far as I understand, the outcome of CSTD meeting resulted from a temporary majority of the latter.
Many of the representatives of the former were unfortunately absent, no doubt partly because the meeting had been arranged at a short notice. Yrjö
Dear Yrjo,
Is there a possibility that those who were absent would challenge (or by any process seek to reverse) this extraordinary decision?

Reposting what I posted in the Governance list here:
Is there a possibility that a few powerful Governments instructed
their
CSTD
representatives to cause this sudden shift in thinking across the CSTD and move away from mutli-stakeholder Governance model to an unilateral Governance model whereby Governments take the seats leaving Civil Society out there on the street to hold placards that are ignored? Such instructions could be part of the abrupt reactions on the wake of the Wiki-Leaks issue.
Perhaps the Governments want to take total and complete charge of the Internet, to be in a position to wield totalitarian control over what is and what is not on the Internet.

I have signed with this comment (not verbatim)
Internet evolved largely by community participation and it works because of its participative and user centric model. A multi-stakeholder approach suits Internet Governance for this reason. The idea of reversing this approach to an unilateral approach amounts to reversing progress.
