Dear Joseph,
I appreciate the way you evaluate WSIS consensus and world democracy :-)!

I understand that you just want me not to trust my democratically 
elected government, and the security, audit and governance experts I 
pay through my taxes. I fully understand that after Iraq, NSA, and 
the root lies you do not personally trust the US government and 
prefer to check and manage things by yourself, but I only suspect my 
own government of mischief not of duplicity. This seems to be the 
difference between you and me. We keep faith in the impact of our votes.

I do not say that the solution is an oversight of everyone 
potentially impacted; I say that everyone potentially impacted should 
be treated on an equal footing. In applying equal footing, I do not 
preselect the participants. This is the NTIA MSism vs. the IETF one.
