[NCSG-Discuss] Please suggest proposed topics for discussion at Beijing ICANN meeting in April

[Andrew A. Adams]

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.
