<div>Dear all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm sure you're aware by now of the 1net dialogue, which the
technical community organisations initiated around the time of
the Bali IGF meeting, and invited the private sector and civil
society to join. The vision for the 1net dialogue is rather
poorly defined, so it remains unclear how important or
influential 1net may become. I'm not going to attempt to
summarise the competing visions for 1net here. I can only
suggest that if you haven't already, you read the email archives
of its mailing list to learn more: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div><br>
</div>
<div>There has been a somewhat loose invitation from the 1net
coordinators for the other stakeholder groups to each nominate
five members for the 1net steering committee, but a deadline for
that has only just been set, and (unless extended) it is very
soon - <b>next Monday 9 December</b>. So to do this, we are
falling back to the same joint committee of representatives from
civil society networks that recently nominated civil society
members to join the High Level Panel convened by ICANN to
provide input into the Brazil meeting.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Each of those networks is now urgently reaching out to their
constituents, as I'm doing so now, to ask for expressions of
interest in serving on the 1net steering committee. On the part
of the Best Bits participants, in Bali we already nominated the
same four Brazilian representatives (Carolina, Joana, Carlos and
Laura) to be on that committee. As far as I know, they are
willing to continue, but have expressed the wish that someone
else also join, who has a closer association with the ICANN
community. That being the case, we need to put forward one
name.</div>

<br>
Is this a view communicated by all the 4 reps... I am not so sure of
the justification. Why not for instance have someone from the ICTD
community... I think Carlos have deep connections enough with the
ICANN community, no... We need to take the Brazil summit outwards
towards key global Internet related public policy issues that are
real concerns for the world, and not more inwards towards narrow
ICANN issues, which are a very limited set. But I agree that the
four existing reps being all from Brazil, a developing country,
maybe the additional person can be from a developed country.
Crossing these two considerations, I think Michael Gurstein should
make a great choice.<br>

<div>If you would like to be put yourself forward to join the 1net
steering committee, or would like to nominate someone else, then
this thread is for that purpose. The thread can also be used to
discuss the criteria that you think should be used by the joint
committee in considering the nominees to put forward. If you
disagree that the four Brazilian representatives should be
amongst the five civil society representatives on the 1net
steering committee, then you can put forward that view too.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In closing, I do need to acknowledge that the joint committee
is still an imperfect vehicle for nominating civil society
representatives to the 1net steering committee, because it
doesn't yet have an elaborate procedure in place for making the
selection - and I know how sensitive some of us are about that
sort of thing. All I can say about that is that in parallel to
this call for expressions of interest, the committee is also
considering how procedures it could put in place that would
satisfy their constituents' expectations for a transparent and
accountable process. Meanwhile, that remains a work in
progress.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will forward the views put forward in this thread to the
other members of the joint committee (who are currently from
APC, Diplo, the IGC and the NCSG - Michael Gurstein's interest
in joining has also been noted and is under discussion). We
will then discuss the nominations within the committee, and
attempt to come back to you all with a suggestion that will
hopefully be generally acceptable. If you have any
process-related queries, it is probably appropriate that you
direct those to Ian Peter who is the independent chair of the
joint committee for now.</div>
