A new ISOC Blog, ISOC@WSIS: Commentary from ISOC delegates at WSIS PrepCom-3.

ISOC has an interesting policy paper on the WSIS process, which is worth reading if you can read Word documents. I especially liked this statement: "[T]he existing mechanisms work. They may not be perfect, as many will argue, but they work, and they have been demonstrably resilient and adaptable."

Sebastian Ricciardi, writing in the ISOC@WSIS Blog on the WSIS consultations now underway: "To achieve transparency, openness and a real multistakeholder approach - that has characterized the development of the Internet until these days - the different stakeholders should be able to participate at all levels of the process, and not only observe and submit comments from time to time." Amen.

Sebastian, one of my At Large colleagues from Argentina, was kind enough to let me record our Skype conversation yesterday on the Geneva Prepcom proceedings. Very enlightening, for me. I only wish the quality of the audio had come through better. I'm trying to clean it up for today's podcast. Stay tuned.
