But then, Milton, the key and endemic defect of this whole process 
throughout has been to turn political questions into legal-technical
ones, more specifically, as those of corporate law. (Which has been my
principal problem with it.) Attempting to define and fence in 'what
global public interest is' is simply a symptom of this deeper,
congenital, problem with the IANA transition process....

While at the subject, why when the group/ process jettisoned the known
and understood term of 'global public' (along with the political
thinking and values that go with it) in favour of the unclear and
unarticulated 'global multi-stakeholder community' does it now want to
reclaim 'public' ? What about 'global multistakeholder community
interest' or a shorter 'global multistakeholder interest'? Would that
not be more congruent to this new post-democratic political ideology?
While being politically inventive, why not go the whole hog. Let the
political parody be complete!
