Re: [council] FW: SO-AC-SG HIGH INTEREST TOPIC SESSION @ ICANN 51 in Los Angeles - A Reminder

[Klaus Stoll <kdrstoll@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Jonathan


How about Legitimacy in Internet governance

The Internet today resembles a country where 1% of the population 
governs 99% of the population, and most don't even know that the 1% 
exists! Legitimate democratic governance depends on the awareness and 
participation of the populous. Legitimacy in Internet governance 
requires greater awareness and participation of stakeholders. Civil 
society is the most disenfranchised part of the whole processes, and it 
has the most to loose.
Just a thought

Klaus
