+1 to Jeremy. <br>
<br>
Also, I really think a draft document (not just a
compilation of proposals) will be needed prior the event,
so it:<br>
<br>
a) will help transparency (meaning, it will be very bad if
the participants get into a room for 2 days, draft
something and approve it without broader consultation); <br>
<br>
b) will help consensus building from March to the end of
April (otherwise from the submissions of proposals on
March 1st to April 24 the Committees will just become a
black box)<br>
<br>
c) probably a better proposal<br>
<br>
</div>
On the issue about who to draft it, I agree with Jeremy that
we should use as much tools and channels needed for an
online deliberative process to build it. If how to use this
tool is still too broad. I suggest EC convene a working
group with techies for that, they would have a month to
organize it. Yasodara, who built the consultation platform
for Marco Civil is at W3C, within CGI.br, It's not
impossible. And we can always offer our help for
brainstorming. <br>
<br>
</div>
And if any Committee need to facilitate and structure any
text, my take is that people will be more comfortable if it's
EC, just as it is announced at the first press release. As the
chairs of HighLevel are Touré (ITU) and the Brazilian Minister
of Communication$ (in my view, not the best duet for internet
freedom/multistakeholderism). <br>

<div dir="ltr">My own feeling about it is that
we should either focus on pushing for
on-site deliberative mechanisms that would
facilitate consensus during the Sao Paulo or
on pushing for an online platform. My
impression is that the organization of the
meeting would lack experience to identify
the best model of on-site deliberation for
this particular meeting and setting. If we
want on-site deliberative mechanisms in
place, we would need to offer assistance
with that, and this would consume us. But I
think it would be worthy.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regarding the platform, it is not clear
to me what is the expected timeframe for
us (how to make a meaningful consultation
fit our schedule) and which document (if
any) should be the base of our
consultation. Remember, for instance,
that the synthesis paper that will be
produced by the Secretariat will only be
available on March 7. Should the synthesis
be the base of our online debate? In my
view, comments on a synthesis doc are
likely to produce just another syntheses.
It is not clear at the present moment that
we will have an actual draft proposal on
principles or frameworks prior to the
meeting and, if so, who should produce it.</div>

Surely there will have to be a synthesis of
contributions as the basis for discussions in
Brazil, and either the community will have to
develop it, or the Brazil committees will have to
do so; and in my opinion it would be better to
give the community that opportunity to the extent
possible. This points to the need for an online
deliberative process, actively facilitated by the
appropriate Brazil committee/s. The facilitation
will be hard enough work in itself, and involve a
degree of judgment as to how to present the inputs
in a useful and neutral way. I'm not understating
the difficulty of the exercise, but surely nobody
expected getting tangible outcomes from the Brazil
meeting would be easy...
