Dear Meryem <br>
Dear friends<br>
Dear Markus<br>
<br>
c/c Markus Kummer<br>
c/c IGC list<br>
c/c WSIS-Gov list <br>
<br>
Yes indeed, seeing the diligence of the IGC to nominate candidates to
the MAG, I thought I have been missing<br>
something ( I have been overworked lately and did not have time to read
all the mails on the IGC list. )<br>
<br>
Following informal discussions we had, Louis, Michel, Chantal, me and
others, with Markus last Monday morning,<br>
it appears that the secretariat is going to announce shortly a call for
candidates for the MAG in conditions<br>
that would be clearly enunciated. A delay of one month should be given
between the official call and<br>
the response to call, leaving a decent time for various constituencies
to propose their slate of candidates. <br>
I have put Markus in c/c so that he could clarify issues for both the
IGC and WSIS-Gov groups,<br>
and correct my understanding if needed. <br>
<br>
My guess, to be confirmed by Louis, is that the WSIS-Gov group is
going to wait for the official announcement,<br>
before starting a process for proposing candidates, because otherwise,
it is like shooting in the dark. <br>
It is necessary to know who are going to leave the MAG in the first
place. <br>
<br>
It seems to a few of us, that the deadline for application for
workshops was really too early, <br>
making difficult for many people to present a rather delineated
proposal as requested, <br>
resulting into a rather selective, non-inclusive process. <br>
It is my understanding that the secretariat will be flexible for the
deadlines, and would be satisfied with<br>
declaration of intent to be completed at a later stage. It is my
understanding the intent of such an early<br>
call is to have a first rough assessment of the number and nature of
workshops.<br>
<br>
There are some points where we are expecting some more information from
the organizers, especially the<br>
ICT village with booths. <br>
This would be particularly relevant to main workshops related to the
theme<b> </b><i>low cost sustainable access</i><br>
where low cost devices could be displayed in booths and demonstrated to
stakeholders, as for example,<br>
it is under consideration to do within a contribution from the <br>
<font class="line"><a href="http://www.digitalworldforum.eu/">Digital
World Forum on Accessible and Inclusive ICT </a></font><br>
What is the size of the place ? size of the booths ? <br>
The question is whether the ICT Village would be entirely into the UN
zone, or we could have a separate<br>
exhibition place outside the UN zone where it would be easier place for
an exhibition.<br>
<br>
As many people are focusing their attention to the <font class="line">12-23
May 2008 <a href="http://wsis-si.org/cluster-may08.html">
Cluster of WSIS-related events</a> </font><br>
my own suggestion is that more precise information about workshops
proposals; ( and <br>
new proposals ) should be allowed to be given in the end of June,
beginning of July, <br>
to take full advantage of the <font class="line"><a
href="http://wsis-si.org/cluster-may08.html">Cluster of WSIS-related
events</a></font> so that people have more time <br>
and opportunity to network and bring synergies, <br>
for example concerning the themes :<br>
<i><font class="line">Arrangements for Internet governance </font></i><br>
with the <font class="line"><a
href="http://www.unece.org/env/pp/related.htm">Stakeholder
Consultation on Public Participation in Internet Governance</a> ( UNECE
/ APC )
<br>
<br>
</font><i><font class="line">Multilingualization </font></i><font
class="line">with the<br>
</font><font class="line"><a class="Head_Blue"
href="http://wsis-si.org/diversity.html" _base_target="MAIN"></a></font><a
class="Head_Blue" href="http://wsis-si.org/diversity.html"
_base_target="MAIN"><font class="line"><font class="line">C8. Cultural
diversity and identity, linguistic diversity and local content</font></font></a><font
class="line"> action <br>
line meeting, </font>or concerning <br>
<br>
<i>low cost sustainable access </i>with initiatives<br>
that could emerge from the WSIS <font class="line"><a
class="Head_Blue" href="http://wsis-si.org/e-learning.html"
_base_target="MAIN">C7 e-learning</a></font> action line meeting <br>
( Open Consultative meeting on low-cost devices for education: ICT
Applications:)<br>
and the <font class="line"><font class="line"><a
href="http://www.itu.int/wsis/c2/index.html">C2.Information and
communication infrastructure</a></font></font> meeting. <br>
<br>
All the best<br>

<br>
<br>
I'm unable to find a deadline for MAG candidates nominations. Does
anyone know when it is? We need to know if we have time to do anything
with the rather confused current situation.
<br>
<br>
Thanks,
<br>
Meryem

I tried best I could when I had time to work on bringing the nomcom to
some kind of closure. The traffic over the last week is - well, is far
too much for me to handle in this moment in time for me.
<br>
<br>
So, having contributed my input, funds to make the conference calls
possible, and technical assistance to make the nomcom wiki and mailing
list possible - i respectfully resign effective immediately as IGC
nomcom chair due to inability to contribute the time, energy and effort
needed.
<br>
<br>
I will work with whom ever the nomcom chooses as its new chair to
complete remaining tasks.
<br>
<br>
