<div>Just speaking personally for now, while I remain skeptical
about 1net, I am content with the position that Ian has
described, that the coordinating group will be responsible for
the nominations, and the 1net committee will just be a conduit.
I don't see much "value add" there, but neither do I see grave
harm.</div>

You had termed something as a 'power grab' not long back :) <br>
<br>
If something is to be only a conduit, why would that role be sought
by anyone, and conferred on anyone.... I am sure the Brazilians are
perfectly good in running email ids for themselves....<br>
<br>
Firstly, there could be issues about forwarding names for organizing
committees... Bill elaborated just now how some groups cannot claim
that they exhaust the category of 'civil society' .... If more names
get forwarded than there are CS slots on different committees, who
prunes the numbers down..... This is the crucial question.... Can
you assure me that it wont be 1Net, who would be asked to just
forward the perfect number and no more....<br>
<br>
Secondly, this is an official entry of 1Net as (an extremely
important) formal entity into the Brazil meeting process... Cant you
see that! At present, it is about the committee members'
nominations. Later it will be about receiving, drafting, organising,
compiling substantive inputs..... And when one is caught in a bind
about what exactly is to be considered a 'mainstream' input from one
stakeholder group or the other, a similar choosing role will
arise... Who will do it. Watch out for 1Net, soon to be declared as
bottom up, properly constituted 'community process'. <br>
<br>
And well of course, it is by now clear to me that the main role that
1Net will play is to present a 'consensus' (or thereabout) community
view on substantive matters - the proposed outcomes of the meeting -
a set of Internet principles, and a road map for reform of global IG
(or for not reforming it). (If you are a betting kind I am even
ready to take bets :) )<br>
<br>
Anyway, I really hope that civil society stops playing naive.....
And to the extend some actors here are not playing naive but it is a
considered pursuance of a political thinking and strategy, please be
clear about it....So that others who have a different political
thinking may be allowed to express themselves fairly and allowed to
do what they want to do. That I would say is a core civil society
value. Separating people into 'nice' and 'not so nice' categories
wont do any more to cover up real deep politics in operation here...<br>
