It comes across as deeply cynical to name the proposal "Net Mundial Initiative" whilst setting it up to diverge so decisively from the key principles on multi stakeholder engagement that the Net Mundial meeting only this year strongly endorsed. ISOC which has a unique perspective and value on these issues has done the other potential partners all a great service in making this clear.

Quite so, Christian! I had the same reaction – that Net Mundial was a good activity and had a good outcome. And now it feels like the name is being co-opted to provide cover for something that looks and feels quite different – as you said that seems to diverge so much from the key principles.
