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, and 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.
