<div style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; display: inline;">Hi
Jeremy<br><br>I am interested in a 1net dialogue steering committee role but, as
Joana, wonder if this would preclude one from consideration for the Brazilian IG
meeting committees? It is difficult to assess among these various
committees where one can add the most value and be of most use to the
community.<br><br>Many thanks.<br><br>Matthew<br><br>

<div>Dear all,</div>
<div> </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 href="https://nro.net/mailman/listinfo/i-coordination" moz-do-not-send="true">https://nro.net/mailman/listinfo/i-coordination</a>.</div>
<div> </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> </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>
<div> </div>
<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> </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> </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>
