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....<br>
<br>
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!<br>
