<br>
Anita posted this nomination information on the BB list this
morning vide the email below but it does not seem to have been
received. So, reposting. For info, bec I think all this
information, especially the views on the important subject should
be very public for every proposing nomination. <br>

Hi All<br>
<br>
The linked doc (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://itforchange.net/Parminder_bio_WGEC-2.pdf">http://itforchange.net/Parminder_bio_WGEC-2.pdf</a>
) carries most of the details required by the 4 question format,
but I thought one question may not be fully or at least directly
addressed. And it may also be one of the most important ones. I
have therefore updated the doc by adding the following paragraph.
Please let me know if any clarification or further information is
needed. I believe that the stand/ proposals made by civil society
participants should be public and they should also commit to
respond to clarification and other questions, and be ready to
undertake a debate, about which I hear some positive views on this
list. This is my primary purpose for posting this, and I very much
comend the CCWG for putting forward this important question. <br>

of the text above tends to describe the vision I have in
this regard. I will briefly summarise it here. When
institutional form – whether extant or proposed new –
becomes controversial, as the appropriate mechanism for
addressing the much needed global Internet policies has
become, we may need to start from the start. Function, in
such a case</font></font><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font
style="font-size: 14pt" size="4">, should</font></font><font
face="Times New Roman, serif"><font style="font-size: 14pt"
size="4"> precede form, as is held to be the normal
organisational wisdom. We have by now a good idea of the
function. The first version of the Working Group on Enhanced
Cooperation, and the follow-up CSTD secretariat report, did
a good job of mapping global Internet related policy space.
This may need to be worked upon a little more, especially in
terms of bunching issues along institutional requirements,
which is the work that the new group should begin with.
Further, we have existing institutions like OECD's Committee
on Digital Economy Policy, and Council of Europe's Steering
Committee on Media and Information Society (and probably
other supra-national agencies doing such work which I have
not tracked), whose excellent work provides a very good and
ever-growing list of international Internet-related public
policy issues. Once, we are over this hump, and there is an
agreement that there indeed exist very important global
Internet-related public policy issues, it should not be
difficult to look for and find the appropriate form. Like
for all important functions of our social lives, the form
that is agreed upon may not be perfect, but as long at it is
appreciated that key policy issues do need a global level
addressing, it should not be too difficult to move towards
the most appropriate one, within the possible institutional
forms. In this regard, the UN's long history of innovative
new institutional forms (after all, the IGF came out if it)
and the high degree of multistakeholder participativeness
that otherwise characterises the Internet governance space
together provide an excellent background to make progress. I
am sure that this group will achieve what it has set out to
achieve. If we even now fail to find the appropriate
institutional mechanism to adequately address the myriad,
urgent and important global Internet-related policy issues,
the coming generations would not be kind to us in
remembering our political role at this key formative time of
the new social paradigm of an Internet-mediated society. </font></font>

Friends,<br>
<br>
IT for Change will like to propose the candidacy of Parminder to
be a civil society participant of the re-enacted Working Group
on Enhanced Cooperation.<br>
<br>
Parminder has been very active in enhanced cooperation debates
since the very beginning. He has also played an important role
in keeping the concept alive, developing various proposals
around it. <br>
<br>
Parminder was the first to demand that a CSTD Working Group on
Enhanced Cooperation be set up. And it is through his
contributions that the subject of Enhanced Cooperation was
discussed for the first time at the 2008 IGF. <br>
<br>
We have put together a note on his suitability for this role,
which can be accessed here <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Please let me know if you need any further information or
clarification.<br>
