In fact, we hosted a session at the UN IGF in Kyoto, specifically about this topic, how to engage more broadly but also more deeply. Because it used to be a trade off. You can have a focus group of a few people or you run a Delphi process or whatever, which allows a lot of nuance. But it’s very difficult to do it with millions of people. Or you have polling or things like that, or online voting or whatever, but it doesn’t really give any nuance when you compress into executive summary. All nuance is lost to such broad listening. So in the UNIGF, which I joined as chair of the National Institute of Cyber Security, because this is non-departmental, so I had no problem getting a UN badge. So this is some political practicality.
