Hi,<br>
<br>
I must say, I am in complete agreement with the notion that a lie
repeated often enough neither becomes the truth nor represents that
which is the case. <br>
<br>
A main issue, however, is identifying whose statements constitute
lies, and I expect there are differences of opinion on who is
putting forward falsehoods. <br>
<br>
Beyond that, I did not know we had any US Senators on this list.
Living or dead.<br>

"The author is not familiar with most of the groups
constituting ISF. As always, a good rule for understanding
true intent is "follow the money". We'd find it illuminating
to know where they get their funding and whether any state
actors are involved (and a colleague more familiar with the
global IG scene advises that at least several are indeed
closely linked to their national governments, and are
unsurprisingly more favorable toward the government-led
multilateral approach on IG than the private sector oriented
MSM). So there is some question as to whether ISF is a
genuine grassroots Netizen movement — or a convergence of
government-dominated organizations pairing with "<a

<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Hi Wolfgang<br>
<br>
One is a civil society forum, the other a
multistakeholder one. One develops people's and
civil society's positions on the key issue of
the global Internet, the other is a place where
such positions can enter into dialogue with
holders of political and economic power - the
governments and the corporate actors.<br>
<br>
Unless now the whole idea and concept of civil
society - and along with those of people's
movements, grassroots, activism, and so on - has
been fully coopted in some people's mind with
that of multistakeholderism (whatever one
actually means by it, something that has
remained notoriously unclear), the connection or
link that you inquire about is extremely clear
to me.<br>
<br>
Internet is not the first thing for which there
has been felt a need for 'independently' forming
a people's conception and set of hopes,
expectations and demands - away from conclaves
of power. There have been scores of others, and
newer ones continue to arise. Accordingly if
people's and civil society forums etc have been
meaningful and needed in these areas, it is
incumbent upon *those* who think they are *not
needed* in the Internet space to explain why it
is so, then the other way around.<br>
<br>
To put is somewhat flippantly, ISF is also a
reaction of people who are fed up with an
ongoing IG charade where for instance Fadi
Chehade can with a straight face call the WEF's
Net Mundial Initiative as the 'mother of all
bottom -up processes' - even jokes require some
plausibility limits!<br>
<br>
To take the example of one of the latest
international global forums on a key global
governance issue, the Lima meeting on climate
change, you will perhaps know that parallel to
it a people's meeting was held. Internet and its
governance also needs such meetings, that is the
simple logic of the Internet Social Forum. If
you think that in the Internet's case, such
meetings and forums are not needed, I would of
course be curious to hear your case.<br>
<br>
I am happy to engage further with you on this
issue, and answer your questions.<br>
<br>
Lastly, let me invite you to join the ISF
process. We work under the World Social Forum
(WSF) process and principles - whereby its
meetings are open to all civil society
participants subject to very inimum conditions
that are listed on their website.<br>
<br>
Further, if the discussion is to now turn to the
WSF, its meaning, relevance, etc, I am as happy
to engage with you on that subject.<br>
