| [Nettime-bold] Esther Dyson calls for GLOBAL PARTIES OF THE INTERNET |
Dear all, to let you know: we @ openDemocracy have just published a big interview with Esther Dyson. URL here: http://www.opendemocracy.net/forum/document_details.asp?CatID=12&DocID=482 Eastern European icon? Right-wing NWOer? Peripatetic meme of self-organising networks? Corporate stooge? She's been called many things. But what's really interesting is that she's now calling for global political parties for ICANN. She's all for the elected at-large membership but she thinks it needs to be more broad-based and accountable - and structured! Quite a change for this former chair of the EFF, who thought in '94 that the net would wither away political parties and replace them with loose, ad-hoc affiliations... is she right or wrong? Is ad-hoccery not scaleable into global democracy? lots of questions... Ask her questions onsite about the idea or anything else, and she'll respond. Speak to power! - or at least, to one of the root servers of the power network...
