Thanks, Jacqueline, for this link.<br><br>Milton Mueller also posted this on the Coalition (PV) list, which I think will be very helpful, particularly for those of us who do not have a technical background, or a good understanding of how ICANN works. Because for me the IGF process is very important, I need to reminde myself to keep watching the other important processes in IG. Don't know if this happens to others as well...<br>
<br>Excerpt from Milton's post to the Coalition List:<br><br>
"A new blog series underway at the Internet Governance Project explains
the significance of the reforms underway in ICANN especially as they
affect civil society participation. <a href="http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2009/2/6/4083962.html" target="_blank">http://blog.internetgovernance.org/blog/_archives/2009/2/6/4083962.html</a><div style="display: inline; cursor: pointer; padding-right: 16px; width: 16px; height: 16px;">

hi ginger<br>
For the most up to date thinking and work on the Summit, including the final agenda etc, please take a look at the wiki - <a href="https://st.icann.org/summit-wg/index.cgi?at_large_summit_working_group" target="_blank">https://st.icann.org/summit-wg/index.cgi?at_large_summit_working_group</a><br>

I agree with Katitza, that we should be watching the development of the proposed At Large summit at the upcoming ICANN meeting in Mexico. The Summit objectives are:<br>
<br>
4. Objectives<br>
4.1. An informed At-Large community that is better able to interact with other ICANN constituencies,<br>
supporting organisations and advisory committees.<br>
4.2. An informed At-Large community that clearly understands the issues confronting ICANN and ICANN's<br>
roles and responsibilities therein.<br>
4.3. Increased involvement by At-Large in ICANN policy debate.<br>
4.4. An At-Large community that more clearly understands the global, rather than merely regional, point of<br>
view on ICANN-related issues.<br>
4.5. A more engaged At-Large community that clearly understands the timing and framework of various<br>
issues currently confronting ICANN<br>
<br>
Although I find one of the "Deliverables" to be even more interesting:<br>
<br>
5.5. Work on a "Individual Internet Users" declaration.<br>
<br>

<br>
Does anyone have more information on the "Individual Internet Users" declaration? Any thoughts or opinions?<br>
<br>
