So, is it the sense of this discussion that the items mentioned by Moonesamy below are the appropriate extent of application of the "multistakeholder model" for Global (Internet) Policy decision-making and that other strategies for organizing decision making processes are required in the other areas.

I am not sure about the meaning of "IETF type multistakeholder decision making processes".  I'll comment on some of the issues which were listed.

There was a research group (not in the IETF) working on spam.  The group spent many years on that problem and did not produce anything.  There is a government agency which tried to get a group in the IETF to work on solving spam-related problems.  There was
(informal) agreement to take that problem to the ITU as the communication model being proposed was better suited for that organization [1].  There is an ITU Study Group working on countering spam [2].

There were IETF working groups which worked on internationalization.  The working groups have been closed as they completed their work.

There is some ongoing work in an IETF working group which is related to exchanging information about security incidents.  That might be related to "cybercrime".

There are always technical choices.  If I participate in the IETF I would follow http://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc2026 Some of these technical choices can affect the security of the internet [3].  I suggest subscribing to the IETF discussion list [4] (if you are not already subscribed) if you are interested in technical choices or the security of the internet.

S. Moonesamy

1. This is from my memory.  I suggest treating it as unreliable information.
2. http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/about/groups/Pages/sg17.aspx
3. There are other venues in which technical choices relating to the security of the internet are discussed.
