Carlos, Carolina and Laura, please, feel free to add other points. Also, there are others BB subscribers that are also in the coalition/dialogue list that may want to weigh in. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I should remind you that Carlos Afonso and Laura Tresca and I went to that meeting as it was supposed to debate the Brazilian Summit. And since the meeting with the Brazilian government in the IGF, the three of us, plus Carolina Rossini, were indicated as liaisons to help facilitate civil society participation in the event. Nevertheless, as you could read in the report, that meeting took a different direction and was focused on building the "coalition". So, in the near future, we should probably re-address the issue of representatives<span style='color:black'>, and the possibility of broadening CS participation beyond Brazilians if we choose to continue to engage.</span><span style='color:red'> </span></span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Summary</span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>After the meeting, held on Oct, 25<sup>th</sup>,<span style='color:red'> </span>a closed mailing list (<a href="mailto:i-coordination@nro.net" target="_blank">i-coordination@nro.net</a>) has been created for the drafting the concept note and debating the name of the coalition. Besides the four of us, it comprises the following organizations/companies: ICC, Oracle, verizon, cisco, cra, auda, internetnz (2), eurid, lacnic, apnic, afrinic (2), icann (2), arin (2), piuha, google, sidn, isoc. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-bottom:.2in'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>1) First days of the list were taken by debates about the name and the difference of coalition and dialogue. As dialogue is less binding, the term "coalition" was dropped. Current proposed name is: 1net | An Open dialogue for the Evolution of Internet Governance</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-bottom:.2in'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>2) More important: A draft of a concept note (attached) was sent by Adiel, from Afrinic. As it was sent in the same email about the name, people got mostly focused in the name. The only comments received are marked in the attachment as well.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-bottom:.2in'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Carolina and I have raised the point that so far there are no government or representatives involve<span style='color:black'>d in the coalition/dialogue to any extent. I've also sent comments regarding the fact that the upcoming e</span>vents were only events from the technical communities and there is no language on human rights in the text, just on business and innovation. No replies here received on these issues whatsoever, but the drafting is just starting and is open for our inputs. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-bottom:.2in'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>3) Much more important: Nevertheless, things seams to move fast. Today a thread was initiated proposing to accelerate the creation of an interim steering committee (about<span style='color:black'> 20 people, as far as I understood, the same as who were at the Friday meeting) which will then liaise with their </span>respective "stakeholder" groups. Quoting the admin of the list, the reason was that the list is "receiving every day requests to add new people (specially from business community)" and the proposal was to "create a clear demarcation between the large group of people ready to engage into the dialogue and a subset of it that will facilitate and coordinate the whole process." <br><br>It seams the drafting <span style='color:black'>group</span> is escalating to a steering committee which raises questions about the composition of the group (until now there is no balance in terms of number of representatives from each stakeholder group). This proposal got 3 agreements and one point raised by oracle about representativeness. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-bottom:.2in'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>In face of this, I think we have three fundamental questions:</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>>> Do we want to engage wi<span style='color:black'>th the coalition/dialogue? </span></span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>>> Could this initiative be perceived as a counter-weight to the Brazilian summit? ( There is no governments or international organizations in the concept note. Carolina and I made that point a few days ago, but it was not heard until now)</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>>> If we decide to engage, what do we want out of this process? How?</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>Hope it's useful and addresses some doubts that came up in our previous thread about the first report. Another report, about our the meeting with the Brazilian gov is coming soon. <o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>If we engage with this we will have two tracks to interact with: a) one regarding the Summit and the exchange of ideas with the Brazilian government) + the other trying to reach a common ground with the Dialogue.
