I hope I am wrong here but, given what I know (as an economist) about
how the Davos Economic Form views the world, there are multiple reasons
for being concerned here.
Their view of multistakeholderism is quite different than the one held
by the civil and not-for-profit constituencies in ICANN. It tends toward
a model where policy is made from on high bo select stakeholders, and
other stakeholders are engaged and encouraged to "play their roles" in
the implementation of policy.
For an example, one can look at the way in which the Millennium
Development Goals were translated into implementation, or
non-implementation, and the roles played, or not played, by various
stakeholder constituencies (including the intended beneficiaries).
As for ICANN involvement here qua ICANN, that may be based as much on
the downside risks to ICANN of not being there as on the upside benefits
of being part of these "consultations with Founding Partners and
potential Transitional Steering Committee Members" [quote from link
below]....*to do what, with whom and how*?
Transparency and accountability are two words that quickly come to mind
with regard to this process.
