Hi - I agree - there are other avenues for concerns to be raised
and the arguments for Best Bits to do so in light of other
priorities do not appear strong.<br>

<div>That was indeed what I had in mind, Anriette, as well
as linking more theoretical discussions or discussions
of principles (which we do need to have at times) to
these specific mechanisms we are developing and/or
engaging in.</div>

<div>And that is the problem with the OECD: it is much
less clear to me how we can make this particular
discussion a concrete and outcome oriented one. I have
seen the debate about the OECD play out on various lists
(even if without resolution, I think a discussion has
been had), and don't yet see where there could be common
ground to move forward among the varous stances that
seem to exist on the OECD. <br>
<br>
If there are any proposals in this regard, I would of
course be happy to hear them.<br>

<div>The OECD has a rather dense set of process of its own,
which are covered a different coalition, viz. CSISAC (though
there is significant cross membership with Best Bits). It is
hard to simply "dip your toes" into what goes on at the OECD,
and I don't suggest we try to do so. However better reporting
from CSISAC to its own members and broader civil society is
definitely needed (its website is two years out of date, to
start with), and something that we are trying to make happen.
As always, resource constraints apply.</div>
