Well, if you have followed the news, it comes down to the fact that some of our old friends from WSIS/WGIG/IGF+ICANN/GAC "we're the government and we like the idea of being in charge" friends are at it again. In one corner, Brazil, China, South Africa, and Saudi Arabia; in the other, US, Austria, and so on. The current state of play is that the folk in the first corner would like an exclusive club, and a combination of parties including the folks in the second corner and a variety of civil society, industry, ad etc parties and rocked the boat back in the direction of multi-stakeholder discussions. My prediction: the boat will keep rocking, and the "givmint" folks will try again. And again.
