Most CS folk in Geneva complained about the heavy hand of govts, I
heard no complaints about corporate control. In fact CS and PS had a
joint press thingy in which both complained about being shut out of
the decsion making process.
WSIS has been billed as a "multistakeholder"

U r right, not truly MS, it is a governments only deliberation with CS
and PS window dressing.
