It is not surprise at all since Brazil's policy has been for a long time
and very consistent, to achieve (as clearly shown in the last WCIT) a very
high degree of inference into Internet Governance whatever it may mean,
with a big push to institute a model where governments have a dominant
control and decision power.

All the NSA related mambo jambo, what it has been said at UN, etc, etc, is
a big pile of yada yada, that is mostly driven by other forces not really
very interested in privacy or human rights. Focusing on the actions of one
governments and pretending that self or others don't do the same or worse
is a total hypocrisy.

Many media outlets and reporters are taking this "Summit" as a reaction of
Brazilian Government due the NSA

>From http://rt.com/news/brazil-internet-summit-fight-nsa-006/:
"Brazilian leaders have announced they plan to host an international
conference on internet governance next year, a declaration that comes after
the nation has lobbied without success to change NSA policies used by the
US to monitor Brazil."

This particular issue is a bilateral problem between the Brazilian and
United States governments, and have nothing to do with Internet Governance,
ICANN or any other organization.

If the NSA or whatever spook agency is out there doing similar stuff, keeps
getting the mandate and funds to operate, they will figure the way to keep
sniffing into your communications, no matter what, you can move the
servers, you can write from scratch an email system, or whatever, it only
takes a corrupt government official or a badly paid technician to
circumvent any "reactive" actions, and I know very well that particularly
in South America (and many other parts of the world) those type of people
abound. This is not an Internet engineering problem or operating problem.

Now if you disassociate the motivations and goals for this "Summit" from
the NSA/USG and want to drive an open and honest not biased conversation
about IG we are talking about something different, but what is then the
value of IGF ?

Perhaps it could make sense to move the UN HQ and Assembly Building to Rio
de Janeiro ...

Fadi is an executive officer hired by the organization, like a CEO in any
other corporation without consent from the BoD he can't start processes
that are way beyond his role and responsibilities. If that is the game he
wants to play as an individual he should resign as CEO of ICANN.

None of the individuals that participated at the famous Montevideo meeting
are representative of the Internet as whole.

Interesting times!

Indeed.
