that are at the core of the IGF etc. Until experiences like mine with the selection process for the ECWG are worked through and some determination is made as to what constitutes a "stakeholder" group and under what sort of governance/transparency/accountability
structures those operate within I think it is seriously premature to be thinking about an IGF that is capable of working through to Soft Law or whatever. This isn't to say that we should be working in that direction but just to say that if the fundamentals
aren't taken care of, everything that follows is suspect.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">M<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: windowtext; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; ">From:</span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: windowtext; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; "> <a href="mailto:bestbits-request@lists.bestbits.net">bestbits-request@lists.bestbits.net</a> [<a href="mailto:bestbits-request@lists.bestbits.net">mailto:bestbits-request@lists.bestbits.net</a>]

an IGF plus – an IGF with powers to make Recommendations or Declarations – soft law in effect. I’m interested in whether anyone has written a paper on this or has an material relevant to the idea and how it would work in a multi-stakeholder environment (I’m
assuming that, however constructed, any recommendations/declarations would require consensus among participants).

is widely respected. It monitors threats to public health and has its own projects and programmes. But the WHO is governmental and frequently gets caught up in international geo-politics although there are now calls for it to become multi-stakeholder and
involve philanthropic foundations, businesses, public/private partnerships and civil society.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: rgb(33, 89, 104); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: rgb(33, 89, 104); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">Any thoughts at this stage are most welcome.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: rgb(33, 89, 104); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: rgb(33, 89, 104); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: rgb(33, 89, 104); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: rgb(33, 89, 104); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">And I guess a lot of you have seen this piece from the Financial Times re the surveillance issue and a proposal from

the web. In a letter to the FT published this weekend, top groups including web founder Tim Berners Lee’s World Wide Web Foundation call for a “reform of the status quo” online. “Online privacy is being eroded at a breakneck speed by blanket surveillance,
and unless steps to reform are taken immediately, the notion of free and secure online communications will be relegated to the annals of history,” they write. “Blanket government surveillance by default, with laws enforced in secret, will always be unacceptable.”

But at its conference in Berlin this month, IETF members reached “nearly unanimous consensus” on the need to build encryption into the heart of the web, said Mark Nottingham, a developer who chairs the IETF working group on HTTP, a data access protocol that
underpins the web. “There are a lot of people who want this to happen,” he said.
