<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Yes, Michael, I did read about the organization
and also saw that it is registered as civil society organization in the WSIS
process. While Rudi could simple have said, ‘I too volunteer’, and I
would have accepted it, the fact that he said he is volunteering form the “Indonesian
private sector’ does leave me with a problem.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>IGC membership rules are at present very
loosely interpreted, (and we in any case need to do something about it, as I
pointed out in an email a few days back) but the one rule which does seem to
apply – as mentioned in the charter in the voting section, and on the ballot
for voting the lat time we voted – is of self declaration as belonging to
civil society.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Now, Rudi’s self declaration violates
precisely that rule – which is the one that seems at present to be the
only applied with any seriousness. In capacity of co-coordinator, who is the
custodian of the charter and IGC processes, it is my duty to seek clarification
on this matter. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>An example to explain this position will
be someone coming on to volunteer, declaring that he volunteers from xyz government.
I would refuse his offer, and seek clarification. I was only doing what I understand
is an organizational duty.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

will be subject to random selection process. I will again seek self declaration

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

to volunteer, and especially from different parts of the world, which may

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>To be a full member of the IGC one has to
self-declare oneself as a civil society person. Such full membership is
necessary to hold caucus appointments, like being on the nomcom. And as
understood by us, civil society stands in some kind of a distinction vis a vis
governments and governance institutions on one hand, and private / business
sector on the other. This distinction for us is most valid from the point of
view of the principal political identity and representation a person brings in
vis a vis IG policies and advocacy, the arena of activity of this caucus.

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>So responding to way you have proposed
your volunteer-ship as ‘from Indonesia private sector’ I must seek
this clarification from you whether you affirm yourself to be civil society
person, and representing public interest, and not private and/or business
interests, individually or in aggregation, in terms of your engagement with IG
issues. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
