representatives of either the technical community, civil society<br>
or business community as presenters. I think one of the main<br>
concerns in Internet Governance is the attempts to turn the<br>
multistakeholder processes that have created the Internet as<br>
we know it into government/UN/ITU-controlled structures, and<br>
this event (judging by the presenters and agenda) seems to<br>
be part of the attempt to present governments/UN/ITU as<br>
the solution rather as part of the problem.<br>
