Re: NETmundial Initiative

"My favorite part was when one news reporter... asked the speakers if they could tell him, in comprehensible and reportable language, what exactly had just happened [at the NETmundial Initiative at the World Economic Forum]. I think this is what happened:
"ICANN, which is under pressure from governments to solve big problems that it didn't create, went to the World Economic Forum to enlist the aid of the world's most powerful international corporations, entities more influential than the usual Internet governance crowd, and to explain to them that they too have a stake in the Internet governance discussion and in preserving multistakeholderism."--Thomas O'Toole in DNS Policy Notes for September 2, 2014 | Bloomberg BNA
