You decide. If you think you can make it work better, please offer ideas like Anriette, Michael and others have done. I believe we decided in Bali on an approach and I endorse Anriette's path toward formalizing this. And I suggest we wrap up this conversation for now and move on to substance. Otherwise we delegitimze the broad support people worked towards over two days in Bali and make it more difficult to prepare for Brazil. <br><br><br>-------- Original message --------<br>From: Rafik Dammak <<a href="mailto:rafik.dammak@gmail.com">rafik.dammak@gmail.com</a>> <br>Date: 12/02/2013 8:22 AM (GMT-05:00) <br>To: <a href="mailto:genekimmelman@gmail.com">genekimmelman@gmail.com</a> <br>Cc: William Drake <<a href="mailto:william.drake@uzh.ch">william.drake@uzh.ch</a>>,Parminder <<a href="mailto:parminder@itforchange.net">parminder@itforchange.net</a>>,bestbits@lists.bestbits.net <br>Subject: Re: [bestbits] Best Bits MAG nominations for your approval - URGENT <br><br><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>every response with such reluctance and such kind of arguments raise more questions than giving answers or appeasing those with concerns.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>as reminder BestBits initiative started in august 2012 when people were talking about WCIT and prepared first meeting IGF Baku, we will be in 2014 in few weeks and we are still with temporary settings.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Rafik<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>2013/12/2 <a href="mailto:genekimmelman@gmail.com">genekimmelman@gmail.com</a> <<a href="mailto:genekimmelman@gmail.com" target="_blank">genekimmelman@gmail.com</a>><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Internal accountability to a group with shared goals may differ from societal/global policy goals that the group will agree to if all others with power agree as well.
