Robin,
Perhaps not focussed enough, but for the ICANN Public Forum, I think a broad
discussion of the multi-stateholder model and threats to its dominance as the
primary means of Internet Governance (e.g. the GAC expecting the ICANN Board
to override bottom-up policy development and follow its "advice" instead; the
ITU's attempted land-grab for authority over the Internet; Staff tendency to
try to make policy on-the-hoof instead of following PDPs) would seem to be an
important topic to raise, not just the policy v implementation specific
debate.
