Cyber-Federalist No. 5 -- The ICANN Member Nomination Process |
| Michel Menou
City University, London United Kingdon The analysis provided in Cyber Federalist number 5 of the members nomination
is perhaps too objective. I am struck in first place by the severe gender
imbalance among nominees. Beyond the access problems which members at large
experienced in many countries, it is quite obvious that the present
constituencies reflect more the campaign skills and mobilization
of particular groups in particular countries than any kind of snpashot
of the Internet users community at large. Even though the present scenario
might have some interesting or refreshing aspects, it remains that
by and large it is a parody of democratic election. If this is a demonstration
of what partnerships can be in the governance of the Internet, our
common future is indeed an announced ethical and practical disaster.
