[discuss] surveillance governance, was Re: [governance] NTIA statement

It seems difficult for that not to end up in a gatekeeper capacity. 

Perhaps it would be easier to agree that there needs to be a shared portal with information on who does what in matters internet: where are standards developed, how, how to get involved in the various institutions, what do they do, etc. This could then have a policy side to it where again, a comprehensive, factual and neutral recitation of what discussions with an Internet dimension are taking place where, why and how to participate.

That would, I think, have a major value-add if it were trusted, impartial, and complete.

In fact, the pieces of it that exist had to be circumvented in order to get the Internet to expand. The top-down authorization echoes the delusion of One World Government and is the major flaw of the MIPOG idea.

Many public policy related Internet issues have a natural home. There are about 50 governmental and non-governmental global organisations dealing with various Internet related issues: From UN bodies like the Human Rights Concil to the I*Organisations. To find out what the missing link is and where we have a gap (or a malfunction) we need first of all  something like a Multistakeholder Internet Governance Clearing House (I have called this MIPOG / Multistakeholder Internet Policy Group). If a stakeholder, including a national government, has a problem, it could go to MIPOG with a request and MIPOG would recommend how to move forward by delegating the request to an existing  mechanism or by launching a (multistakeholder) process in a bottom up, inclusive, open and transparent way to develop policies (as an RFC) which could, if needed, also include the launch of new multistakeholder mechanisms.
