<DIV>Thanks for posting that Carolina (have cross-posted to governance list as
well)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am not sure it will be possible to complete CS nominations by January 10,
but we will try and it is certainly possible. But I am wondering if anyone would
object to our current Brazilian reps attending these meetings as our temporary
reps if we have not completed by then? Then at least we will have coverage and
involvement.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I want to say a few words about the break up of the 12 for HLC as well as I
have been trying to get further information on this.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In an IGF MAG situation, the breakup would be a simple 4/4/4 – with
technical and academic combined. However 1net has for its own committee
given a separate and equally weighted representation to technical and academic –
so its co ordination group is 5/5/5/5.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>At this stage CS has been asked to prepare 4 names for HLC. That I think
pre-supposes 4 business, 4 civil society, and 2 academic and 2 technical. But I
doubt whether technical would be happy with this. Thus the part of Adiel’s
message that suggests the local group might have to consider further.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So we may end up with 3/3/3/3. That I think would get broad approval. But
it’s important to know, and for CS to decide the 3, not have 1net eliminate one
name. Or in any way be the final arbiter of which civil society names are
included and which are not. That is our business, not theirs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But I think what would be entirely unacceptable would be something like 4
business, 3 civil society, 3 technical, 2 academic. I mention this because
a few LOG members might be reading here. I am fairly sure that civil society
would be very opposed to any situation where the weighting of the business
community was greater than that of civil society. </DIV>

preparation<BR>To: "<A href="mailto:discuss@1net.org">discuss@1net.org</A>"
<<A href="mailto:discuss@1net.org">discuss@1net.org</A>><BR><BR><BR>Hello
all,<BR><BR>I have been invited (for /1Net) to attend a status update meeting
between the representatives of the Brazil meeting's LOG and ICANN last Friday.
Here are some key points discussed during the meeting:<BR><BR>- Hosting of the
meeting: the government of Brazil is leading this aspect and is in bilateral
discussion with few other countries so for the event to be hosted not only by
Brazil but jointly with these countries. More update on this is normally
expected this week or next.<BR><BR>- Chairing of the meeting: It was discussed
and agreed that the multistakeholder aspect of the meeting should be properly
reflected in it chairmanship as well. So it wont be only ICANN and Brazil who
will chair but at least two other people will be proposed to join as co-chair of
the meeting.<BR><BR>- Stakeholder groups: The issue of confusion in the the
grouping of stakeholders has been discussed and it is expected that a
clarification on this comes from the LOG. But the suggestion is to keep the
break down as originally announced (4 groups: CS, Business, Technical and
Academia) so not to induce further delay in the nominations.<BR><BR>- Because
time is against us, the LOG has expressed its hope to have all the committees
launched on January 10th. Which will have a direct implication of not having all
stakeholders' representatives appointed by then. It was suggested to go with
what is ready by the 10th, and start some preliminaries discussions while the
rest join by mid January.<BR><BR>- The LOG has clearly expressed their
preference to have /1net as their only interface for dealing with the rest of
the community in general. Obviously to avoid having to deal directly with each
and everyone separately.<BR><BR>- A meeting is planned in Brazil on the 10th to
kick-off the committees and<BR>begin addressing key organizing issues in order
to provide some further specific information related to the whole planning.
Arrangement is being made to have remote participation to that meeting for
already appointed committee members who will not be able to travel to in Sao
Paulo.<BR><BR>That is all I have for now.<BR><BR>Thanks.<BR><SPAN
