Re: [Internetgovtech] Cross community

Hi,

As I say I do not remember coordination, but maybe.  It is just an example.

And it is not really defined.  At the moment it works because we like
and trust each other all around.  But when speaking of
cross-institutional accountability, these are not things we can just
count on.

I am not saying we need big heavy duty cross-accountability mechanisms
that oppress us and keep us from doing the stuff we need to do.

I am saying we need to formally consider the multistakeholder
cross-accountability (or put another way the IANA aggregate function
accountability) issues together with the multistakeholder IST process.
