So, as I understand things, we want to convince the governments of the
world to enter into a new treaty where there does not seem to be a huge
amount of current interest. But not a regular treaty, but one in which
governments sign onto it, but cede much of their power to civil society,
academics, the technical community and business. Oh yes, and End Users, a
rather undefined term in their context.<br><br>
I'm really good at putting large efforts into difficult projects, because
there is merit in their success, but this one sounds just a bit (ok, a
lot) too "iffy" for my comfort.<br><br>

I got from Thomas's email that he proposes that we go outside of current
norms and create a multistakeholder treaty model that incorporates all
our stakeholder groups. Of course it doesn't exist now but we are in a
transition phase so perhaps its timely.<br><br>
