It does not take over any policymaking activity previously done elsewhere. It is a platform upon which people can build projects. The four initial projects were announced in August and are underway, driven by academics (2), <a href="http://CGI.br" class="">CGI.br</a> (1) and ICANN (1). The idea is that over time other groupings including CS could propose stuff on the platform, maybe find partners and other connections, and make stuff happen. As noted previously, WEF could use CS help in figuring out how to build and operate a platform that is open to all to use in this manner. Otherwise I assume <a href="http://CGI.br" class="">CGI.br</a> will be the main configurative force.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>There have been recalibrations based on feedback, in particular from CS. The former Steering Committee will now be a Coordinating Committee and its membership will likely be selected on a bottom-up basis by different stakeholder groups, as CS participants argued for in August. Given our experience with 1NET, it’s a fair guess this could mean it will take some time to put that group in place.</div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">with <a href="http://cgi.br" class="">cgi.br</a> in the leadership position (easier after Rousseff won the election and Virgilio remains the key leader). </blockquote><div><br class=""></div>Yes </div><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">ICANN will continue - on a lower level - to be a partner and the WEF will "collaborate" with the NMI (having its own projects independent from NMI).</blockquote><div><br class=""></div>The three orgs are each devoting a small piece of staff support.
