<div>Hi people<br>
<br>
Been off mails on these lists for since the beginning of the
week.<br>
<br>
</div>
I had some chat with some 1Net leads during the just ended
AfriNIC 19 in Abidjan. <br>
</div>
Two clear things:<br>
<ol>
<li>1Net is still in its formative stage and is looking to the
community to shape its objectives, agenda and working
methods</li>
<li>1Net will strecth for some time, at least for now, that is
the leaning.<br>
</li>
<li> Brazil has a 6-month activity line between now and then.
It may end up as "intercession" between two IGFs</li>
</ol>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
If 1Net proposes to be a larger IGF, I have a problem with it.<br>

<li>Some other consultations of mine also show that
stakeholders may leverage on Brazil to " decide to do" as
opposed to IGF which comes to "discuss"</li>
</ol>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
If it is trying to be an IGF plus, I have an even bigger problem...<br>
<br>
All this is very unlike a tentative inter-stakeholder dialogue space
oriented to a particular important event, or even an continuing
one..<br>

<li>Being that 1Net is "here to stay"" and Brazil is a one-off
(until initial participants decide otherwise) then it should
be okay for people to be in Brazil Steering and also 1Net
Steering</li>

<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

target="_blank">https://nro.net/mailman/listinfo/i-coordination</a>.</div>
<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>
</blockquote>
<br>
</div>
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.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><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>
