@CLW80803 I have a good family tree of Annie and Mosha Ansel's family that I can share with you. If you are interested let me know your email addess.

[Harris Gleckman @hgleckman]

@CLW80803 Yes, we are related. Ada Sigelski, your 2nd great grandfather's wife, and Annie Sigelski Gleckman, my great grandmother, were sisters. If my calculations are correct, we are third cousins, once removed.

Exposed: #COVAX is built as a multistakeholder group operationally run by two other multistakeholder groups to marginalise @WHO and avoid public accountability in global governance. It is simply not the just #Covid19 global vaccine distribution solution it claims to be.

[Friends of the Earth International @FoEint]

Exposed: #COVAX is designed like an international trade association interested in establishing a #COVID19 vaccine market, based on a system where people have to pay for health care and one without national medical approval and without manufacturer liability.

[Friends of the Earth International @FoEint]

Exposed: #COVAX was not created primarily to combat #Covid19 in the global South. It is like a merchant bank, using capital provided largely from governments, to shape the global vaccine preparation industry and the Southern vaccine consumer market. https://t.co/DwFRccgY1y

[Friends of the Earth International @FoEint]

How do we get a #COVID19 vaccine to communities and peoples in global south quickly, safely, at low or no cost without political, class or gender discrimination? The corporate answer is #COVAX, but don’t be fooled, this is no solution for #VaccinEquity. https://t.co/DwFRccgY1y

4. A short, open letter to Friends of the UN, which provides additional background for this assessment and calls for a pre-planned counter-strategy, is available at https://t.co/OFab61RohC

3. In the last three years, the US has left or threatened to leave at least six UN system organizations. And #45 enjoys creating chaos. Such an announcement would no doubt upset the UN 75th celebration. #sustainabledevelopment

2. One plausible explanation is that he will use the platform to announce that the US could leave the U N and cancel the payment of outstanding financial commitments, a position that his base would like. #sustainabledevelopment

1. President Trump is the only head of state so far committed to physically addressing the new General Assembly. #45’s political base is solidly anti-United Nations and solidly anti-multilateralism. Why ? #sustainabledevelopment

Outrageous you say. In the last three years, the US has left or threatened to leave at least six UN system organizations. And rump enjoys creating chaos. Such an announcement by the US President would no doubt upset this year's celebration of the UN’s 75th year.

[Harris Gleckman @hgleckman]

One plausible explanation is that he wants to use the platform to announce that the US will be leaving the United Nations and cancelling the payment of outstanding financial commitments, a position that will resonant with his base..

[Harris Gleckman @hgleckman]

Trump is the only head of state committed to physically addressing the opening of the new UN session. #45’s political base is solidly anti-United Nations and solidly anti-multilateralism. So why is he taking time away from his re-election campaign to deliver this speech?

@CorpGovUK What are the potential governance risks and financial liabilities to a firm from its participation in a multistakeholder governance project, say when some constituency feels that the consequences of the multistakeholder project is adversely impacting them ?

[Harris Gleckman @hgleckman]

@mebuell to see if it can create a mechanism to maintain globally net neutrality. While this was not in their original remit, they have argued that their governance system can engage effectively all relevant participants, some of whom are excited by $$ from abandonment of neutrality.

[Harris Gleckman @hgleckman]

@mebuell Is there really a good governance reason to create a new multistakeholder group ? Currently ICANN and its related internet governance organizations has the global responsibility to ‘govern’ the internet. It will be an interesting test of ICANN’s multistakeholder governance system

[Harris Gleckman @hgleckman]

@HeleenSaaf @Cordaid @PfRglobal @Gogonzska Heleen, 'multistakeholder partnerships' are with Governments and corporate involvement have an inherent asymmetry of internal power. Given your message why not just call for 'upgrading community partnerships'. It would avoid the all the downsides of multistakeholderism
