thinks we should have some sort of WSIS-related identification. I'm not
much on a lead like 'we the people of WSIS-CS' or whatever since it implies a
level of consultation and consensus that isn't there, but I suppose I could
label it, Statement by Members of the WSIS-Civil Society Internet Governance
Caucus. Any problems with that? Of course, I'd rather it was simply
a statement of the caucus, full stop, can't imagine that many caucus members are
opposed to asking for inclusion, and we've made caucus statements in the past
with fewer ayes (an issue in itself, I suppose), but maybe that's pushing it a
bit...Anyone have guidance/feelings about this either way?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

</SPAN>Avri suggested I <SPAN class=788284314-30012006>frame this in terms
of "civil society organizations and academics." I view academia as part of
CS by definition, but can do this for emphasis, in which case perhaps I should
stick Dr. in front of the relevant names. With ITU, where claims of
'expertise' are highly relevant to a claim to participation, this might be
desirable. Guidance/feelings...?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

representations is important not only from a content point of view – which is
of course more important – but as much from process point of view. We need to
take opportunity at these times when the WSIS-CS mandate, structure and future
is uncertain to asset ourselves as the ‘WSIS CS’ or something. We have
gathered some political strength in our collective form, however rudimentary.
It needs to be preserved – and it can only be preserved by pushing ‘content’
or substantive actions like this one……<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

consensus on making a joint caucus or other CS statement on the website for
the ITU's Wednesday reform meeting, I decided I might as well type up
something short to submit on a personal basis. If anyone would like to
sign on you're more than welcome; either way, I will submit this by close of
business today, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place

have time to do any text tweaking, but if that might make this more
attractive to potential signatories, let's communicate. I see that
Parminder made a nice submission on the cost of ITU documentation and its
nonconformity with the access to knowledge and information principle
enunciated in the WSIS Plan of Action. The below text is on a different
point and is complementary.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Book Antiqua'">The WSIS Principles state
that Internet governance should be multilateral, transparent and democratic,
with the full involvement of governments, the private sector, civil society
and international organizations. The ITU clearly does not meet the last
criteria. For the overwhelming majority of civil society organizations,
the barriers to becoming a sector member or even an associate are simply too
high. In parallel, there are no options for participating on a more
flexible, ad hoc basis in special workshops and seminars, or in the assemblies
and conferences. In consequence, and unlike other UN agencies, true NGOs
(as opposed to hybrid business/user/technical organizations) are almost
entirely absent and alienated from the ITU. That this is not in
the ITU’s own interest was amply demonstrated by the WSIS process, in which
civil society strongly opposed the ITU playing an expanded, leading role in
Internet governance. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Book Antiqua" size=3><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Book Antiqua" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Book Antiqua'">With WSIS follow-up and
implementation efforts forthcoming, now would be a particularly appropriate
time to make opening up to civil society a central element of ITU
reform. Doing so would not in any way disrupt the work of the <st1:place
w:st="on">Union</st1:place>, and the administrative cost would be negligible
(we can print our own documents, etc). The ITU would not face a stampede
of hundreds of organizations seeking to participate in ongoing study group
work on frequency propagation, signaling requirements and protocols, and other
technical matters. A much more likely scenario would be that a
manageable number of NGOs would seek to participate in some of the
above-mentioned workshops, seminars, assemblies and conferences. Civil
society experts contributed significantly to the success of the February
2004 ITU workshop on Internet governance, and there is every reason to
believe that same constructive engagement would ensue in other forums.
Allowing civil society participation in events like the March 2006 meeting on
NGN policies would be a good first step, and would not require changes to the
Constitution and Convention. WSIS and/or ECOSOC accreditation would seem
sufficient for this purpose.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Book Antiqua" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Book Antiqua'">It is unfortunate that
the ITU’s February 1 reform meeting is closed to civil society
participation. Our exclusion from this and similar events has been
debated extensively on civil society Internet listservs in the course of the
WSIS process and afterwards. There was little enthusiasm for the
website’s cheery invitation to “be part of it” by submitting statements in
this “open forum” for a meeting from which we are barred. If however the
ITU were to initiate a genuine, open and inclusive dialogue on the matter, the
response would be rather different. </SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
