[CPWG] Suggested reading: "Hegemonic practices in multistakeholder Internet governance: Participatory evangelism, quiet politics, and glorification of status quo at ICANN meetings"

[Denise de alcantara-hochbaum]

Hi Joanna,

Thank you for sharing these academic analyses and initiating a discussion.
While the points raised may be controversial in the actual work process,
these articles provide a valuable opportunity to broaden our understanding
of how ICANN/At-Large has operated during the past 20 years. As someone who
is new to this community, I find these articles to be an interesting
resource for gaining insight into the roles and actions of the
multistakeholder model
