So far, fortunately, the Internet Governance Forum and its associated
talking shops add up to a no-op. The danger is always there that they
will persuade government reps in the ITU or other UN bodies to take
action that will damage the Internet.

I believe it is relevant here since IETF is currently being discussed
in depth on the Internet Governance Caucus mailing list (one of the
biggest forums of the "civil society" about Internet governance).
The thread is long and, for those who are not subscribed, can be found
here on the Web:
http://lists.igcaucus.org/arc/governance/2012-05/msg00380.html
There are two things being discussed about the IETF:
1) Does it do a good job of creating and promoting technical
standards?
2) If yes, can it be used as a "model" for Internet governance of
other, more political, functions?
