The Treaty Model which Parminder argues for requires signature from UN Member States. http://www.un.org/en/member-states/
Where is Civil Society? Where are End Users? Where are the Technical & Academic Communities? Where is the Private Sector?
The UN is based on a treaty. Yet the IGF has civil society, has end users, has technical & academic communities and private sector. Please do not confuse the instrument and the actual body created/recognized by the instrument. -- Pranesh Prakash Policy Director, Centre for Internet and Society http://cis-india.org | tel:+91 80 40926283 sip:pranesh@ostel.co | xmpp:pranesh@cis-india.org https://twitter.com/pranesh
