Thank you for creating and sharing<br>this wonderful event.<br><br>I agree with the theme - Internet governance for all - or Interconnected<br>world shared and governed by all. I appreciate the open dialogue sessions.<br><br>Now, to the Wuzhen Declaration, I would like to make following comments<br>for the record as an active member of the Civil Society engaged in Internet<br>Governance and Information Society issues and make my humble reservation.<br><br>First, getting the draft in the middle of the night and the deadline of 8<br>am for any revision is impossible to accommodate. This is against the<br>spirit of "shared and governed by all".<br><br>Second, there is no mention of "Multistakeholder" process or approach<br>which has been well accepted by most, if not all, of stakeholders at ICANN,<br>IGF, and other international fora for Internet governance mechanisms. Even<br>though there are a lot of room for improvement and reform, simply ignoring<br>this principle from the declaration, in my view, will greatly discredit the<br>value of our declaration.<br><br>Also, there is no reference to WSIS Tunis Agenda, people-centered<br>information society, that is a mistake.<br><br>No mention of UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights also severely<br>undermines the value and effect.<br><br>There is too much emphasis on economic and technological potential of the<br>Internet, but far less views expressed to social, human and cultural<br>dimensions Internet will contribute.<br><br>Following points are also observed:<br><br>- Consensus is missing from international cooperation<br><br>- Internet as an permissionless innovation environment<br><br>- Accountable participation as part of cyber security activities<br><br>- Advancement of Internet technology should build on global rough<br>consensus of the engineering technical community (not politics)<br><br>- Internet as an economy of growth and that China should play a bigger<br>role to help developing countries from her experience<br><br>With these reasons, I like to make my reservation on record.<br><br>I also like to mention the statement we co-signed:<br><br>"Community Statement Presented at Wuzhen Summit"<br><br><br><a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20141120_community_statement_presented_at_wuzhen_summit/">http://www.circleid.com/posts/20141120_community_statement_presented_at_wuzhen_summit/</a><br><br>Thank you for your attention and understanding, I still remain committed<br>and connected with your great effort.<br><br>Izumi Aizu<br>Senior Research Fellow and Professor,<br>Institute for InfoSocionomics, Tama University, Tokyo<br><br>www.anr.org<br><br><br><br></blockquote><br><br>--<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote type="cite">Izumi Aizu <<<br></blockquote></blockquote>Institute for InfoSocionomics, Tama University, Tokyo<br>Institute for HyperNetwork Society, Oita,<br>Japan<br><a href="http://www.anr.org">www.anr.org</a><br><br><br>____________________________________________________________<br>You received this message as a subscriber on the list:<br> <a href="mailto:governance@lists.igcaucus.org">governance@lists.igcaucus.org</a><br>To be removed from the list, visit:<br> <a href="http://www.igcaucus.org/unsubscribing">http://www.igcaucus.org/unsubscribing</a><br><br>For all other list information and functions, see:<br> <a href="http://lists.igcaucus.org/info/governance">http://lists.igcaucus.org/info/governance</a><br>To edit your profile and to find the IGC's charter, see:<br> <a href="http://www.igcaucus.org/">http://www.igcaucus.org/</a><br><br>Translate this email:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://translate.google.com/translate_t">http://translate.google.com/translate_t</a></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
