Well - I was at the IGF, which had similar issues though it was far less of a circus sideshow - the usual proponents of various isms were in full cry there as well. And I give capacity building speeches too. So do other really good people I know. Difference is, I (and about 10% of the people attending the IGF) are known to actually roll up their sleeves and genuinely do capacity building rather than simply deliver powerpoints on the issue Lots of others who do capacity building speeches, make obligatory protesting noises when someone speaks, and then disappear to chow down on spoonfuls of salmon topped with caviar. http://www.mccullagh.org/photo/1ds-12/igf-reception Those canapes were delicious, by the way. srs
