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. -- Professor Andrew A Adams [log in to unmask] Professor at Graduate School of Business Administration, and Deputy Director of the Centre for Business Information Ethics Meiji University, Tokyo, Japan http://www.a-cubed.info/
