Dear Maureen, yes, of course one could always re-design the World from scratch. But that's something that might take a lifetime. In the meantime, even the "Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace" is losing its lustre... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Declaration_of_the_Independence_of_Cyberspac...

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.

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?
