Hi Jorge,

The issue is not participation, engagement and cooperation which I consider vital for a healthy and continuously development of the Internet. The issue IMHO is the tag labeling of a group of individuals that perform on an executive role and how the labeling and some statements are perceived and interpreted particularly by mainstream media in a context where Internet Governance (widely misinterpreted by itself ) is on the forefront nowadays.

A lot of things that are said in "Internet Governance" discussions are neither entirely true nor are they entirely false. There is room for misinterpretation. Things did not get better over the years.

You may not see it because you are in the midst of it. My concern is with the "I* Leaders" label and how and where what you say can be easily taken out context and grossly misinterpreted without exercising some restraint and better choice of words.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_governance mentions "Governors". :-) It also mentions a statement signed by the heads of the Internet Engineering Task Force, the Internet Architecture Board, and some other organizations.

In my opinion the problem is that the Internet Engineering Task Force is undecided about what it wants to be. The current state of confusion (outside the IETF) encourages people to turn to people with labels.
