[At-Large] Fwd: [IP] WEF says it plans to build multilateral architecture to govern internet

[Sivasubramanian M]

Dear Olivier,

World Economic Forum can not possibly go with any plans to exclude Business
from Internet Governance; If it does not exclude Business, it would have a
hard time explaining why it includes Business and not Civil Society nor the
Technical Community.

As of now, the World Economic Forum is half way into the Multi-Stakeholder
process by talking about a "Public - Private partnership".  For Internet
Governance it would at least call for a public private partnership, and
with some efforts, the Forum's outlook could get more evolved into a
multi-stakeholder thinking.

What needs to be done at this stage is to make sure that the 2500
participants include a good number of stakeholders other than Government
and Business.
