<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">On the issue of the
period of co-coordinatorship, Ian’s and mine:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN

<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">The last elections
were held in November 2006 immediately after IGF’s first meeting in Athens. As
per the charter the annual elections are to be held in June of each month, or
as close as possible to it. Each co-coordinator is elected for 2 years.
However, it was found desirable that both co-coordinators do not change at the
same time and that one of them is replaced each year. To put this processes
into motion the first set of two co-coordinators were elected for different
terms – one for a year, and the other for two years. Vittorio was elected for
a year and I for two years.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">2007 elections were
due in June, 2007, but that would have given Vittorio only a few months. I
proposed that Vittorio continues till IGF, Rio, in November, 2007. I also
proposed that the IGC co-coordinator election cycle coincide with the annual
IGFs as the IGF is a primary institution of engagement by the IGC.
<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN

<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">Accordingly, the
elections should have been held soon after Rio. These got postponed for a
variety of reasons which I would not go into now.
<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN

<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">Ian’s term, if the
present one to be considered the 2007 elections, would be till June 2009. But
I suggest that it be till December, 2009, i.e. the close of IGF-4 in Cairo.
And along with the 2009 election we get into a cycle of co-coordinator
elections immediately after the annual IGF meet.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">As for my term, it
ends immediately as Ian decides to hold elections and the new co-coordinator
takes up. These elections are due and can be conducted at the earliest
possible time. I personally am now keen to step
down.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN

<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">On another, but
connected note, I suggest that we explore the possibility of developing a
funding proposal for an intern or someone to support the IGC co-coordinators,
plus a couple of travel grants for the co-coordinators to attend important
meetings. This will immensely enhance the capacity of the co-coordinators, and
the effectiveness of the caucus. This may not easy but is worth giving a try
with some likely funders. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">The IGF has recognized
the IGC’s strong position in the IG civil society area with a green light to
three workshops sponsored by us plus one that we co-sponsored. This is a
monumental step forward. However, to meet the consequent expectations and
responsibilities well we need to pull ourselves together as a more coherent
working unit. Ian is an energetic person driven by keen purposefulness. I am
sure he will provide us strong leadership in this regard. But we need to start
hearing from the members more, and more often, on these organizational
issues.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
