[discuss] NetMundial Initiative

[Seth Johnson]

More that the IGF phase wasn't going to work.  IGF has always been in
a tough spot, not so much fumbling the ball -- as if that's anything
other than an endemic feature of any organization of a similar
institutional nature -- but not empowered and pining for standing.
But Netmundial wasn't executed well in that regard (they announced
sponsorship of IGF, but they also weren't quite able to make things
stick), so they need to patch he information society process up by a
more blunt move that steps past IGF rather than going through a
process of engaging folks in issues via IGF as per plan.  I think
they're figuring they'll be able to just brazen it out.
