<DIV>Thanks Bill and Wolfgang for the clarifications.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am not sure that I will be able to handle a webinar at 2am AEDT, but
perhaps those listening in could get clarity on this, ie</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Virgilio could be asked to comment on ongoing use of Netmundial name and
any involvement with cgi.br as regards this.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It would also be good to raise again in this context the issue of civil
society (and other stakeholders for that matter) determining their own
representation on the Co-ordinating Committee, and getting some indication of
possible timeframes and procedures for this.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>One thing that has advanced since the last time involvement with WEF was
raised as a possibility is a broadly agreed on procedure as regards civil
society participation if CSCG is to be involved, ie</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT style="LINE-HEIGHT: 13pt; TEXT-INDENT: -18pt"><FONT
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"> “CSCG will not be
involved in any appointments of CS representatives if more than 35% of its
coalition members determine not to be involved in the process, or where the
number with a clear determination to be involved does not exceed those
expressing a wish not to be involved. (Others may have a neutral or undecided
stance). Where coalition members choose not to be involved and a decision to
proceed is made, their decision to do so will be announced (if they so wish) as
part of any announcement of chosen representatives. </FONT></FONT><SPAN
style="COLOR: ; LINE-HEIGHT: 13pt; TEXT-INDENT: -18pt; mso-ascii-font-family: calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: calibri"><FONT
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">The decision to be involved or not is the primary
responsibility of each constituency.”</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN
style="COLOR: ; LINE-HEIGHT: 13pt; TEXT-INDENT: -18pt; mso-ascii-font-family: calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: calibri"></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN
style="COLOR: ; LINE-HEIGHT: 13pt; TEXT-INDENT: -18pt; mso-ascii-font-family: calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: calibri">The
coalition members for this purpose would be IGC, Best Bits, Just Net, Diplo,
NCSG, and APC. I suspect, as regards any timeframes, it would be quite quick to
select representatives once coalitions had determined whether to be involved or
not, but the decision as to whether to be involved by each group could take some
time; particularly if there is not clarity as regards structures, processes
etc.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN
style="COLOR: ; LINE-HEIGHT: 13pt; TEXT-INDENT: -18pt; mso-ascii-font-family: calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: calibri"></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN
style="COLOR: ; LINE-HEIGHT: 13pt; TEXT-INDENT: -18pt; mso-ascii-font-family: calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: calibri">So
a lot of clarity would be very useful! I will try to make the webinar, but I do
suggest others should seek as much clarity as possible on these structural and
procedural issues.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>My understanding is that the NMI is now a "continuation" of Sao Paulo´s

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just to make sure we’re clear: per the August FAQ, NMI is NOT a
continuation of Sao Paulo in the sense of global norm-setting. 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">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">CGI.br</A> will be the main configurative force.</DIV>
<DIV> </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>
<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">with <A href="http://cgi.br">cgi.br</A> in the
leadership position (easier after Rousseff won the election and Virgilio
remains the key leader). </BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV> </DIV>Yes </DIV>
<DIV><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">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> </DIV>The three orgs are each devoting a small piece of staff
support. One of the four projects’ is ICANN’s, and it’s the least clear at
this point.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">But lets wait for the Webinar. Virgilio will explain
the outcome from the various consultations in and aftrer LA.<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV> </DIV>And to Ian’s point, there is supposed to be a lot of press on
the webinar so someone may raise the point, but if they don't you could of
course ask Virgilio to explain the <A
href="http://intra-CGI.br">intra-CGI.br</A> process here. They wanted to
keep the name.</DIV>
