Not to me. To me, it seems like a snow job. Compare this: "so we must dedicate ourselves to keeping the network unrestricted, unfettered and unregulated. We must have the freedom to speak and the freedom to hear." with this: "Let us dedicate ourselves to the creation of a global legal framework in which laws work across national boundaries to reinforce the upward spiral of value that Internet is capable of creating." And please do not forget that it is ISOC, which means Vint Cerf as much as it means Don Heath, that is undoubtedly responsible, more than any other single organization, for the co-optation of the IFWP process by Mike Roberts and Joe Sims. Without the support of ISOC, that would not have occurred, just as CORE would likely have dissociated except for the coherence and strength that their alliance with ISOC has given them. I was not involved in all this when it began, so I can only evaluate people, organizations, and events by their relationship to what I consider the higher good: the administration of the Internet in benefit of the individual, independent users. Since that is not what is in train I blame all those who are abetting the present situation, and ISOC, by their support of ICANN, is at the center.
