<BLOCKQUOTE cite=mid:4B6EA6A1.6010909@gmail.com type="cite">Hello all, <BR>I
apologize for being out of contact, as I have had a combination of
electrical and Internet cuts, travel and all day meetings. I am now in
Geneva, and attending your concerns about our statement for the OC on
Tuesday. <BR><BR>With Jeremy's pre-authorized consent, as he is out of
contact, I am now making a call for consensus until 10 p.m. GMT Monday, Feb.
8th. This should allow us to make a final decision at the in situ meeting
here in Geneva Monday evening. I will have my computer with me and connected
(unless we have some unavoidable problem), so you can email or skype during
the meeting, and we will try to reach a consensus with as many voices as
possible. My skype login is gingerpaque. <BR><BR>I propose that we find
consensus on three short statements that can be read together or separately,
as appropriate--not necessarily in the order shown. The final suggested
closing is an iteration of Parminder's recent suggestion. <BR><BR>An all
agreement vote would read: <BR>1: Yes <BR>2: Yes <BR>3: Yes
<BR><BR>Conversely, one could opine with all "No" or a combination of
opinions. <BR><BR>1. <BR>Network neutrality has been an important
architectural principle for <BR>the Internet. This principle is under
considerable challenge as the <BR>Internet becomes the mainstream
communication platform for almost all <BR>business and social activities.
The IGC proposes a main session with the focus of Network Neutrality -
Ensuring Openness in All Layers of the Internet. This main session should
examine the implications of this principle, and its possible evolutionary
interpretations for Internet policy in different areas. Issues about the
openness of the Internet architecture are increasingly manifest in all
layers of the Internet today. <BR><BR>2. <BR>A Development Agenda for
Internet Governance Development is a key focus of the Tunis Agenda and its
mandate for the IGF. But while development has been posed as a cross-cutting
theme of IGF meetings, they have not featured a broadly inclusive and
probing dialogue on what Internet Governance for Development (IG4D) might
mean in conceptual and operational terms. To address this gap, the IGC
previously has advocated a main session on A Development Agenda for Internet
Governance, and some its members have organized workshops or produced
position papers elaborating different visions of what such an agenda could
entail. In light of the related discussions during the Sharm el
Sheikh cycle, we renew our call for a main session on this theme. The
dialogue at Vilnius could, inter alia, identify the linkages between
Internet governance mechanisms and development, and consider options for
mainstreaming development considerations into IGF discussions and Internet
governance processes, as appropriate. We also continue to support the Swiss
government's proposal to consider establishing a multi-stakeholder Working
Group that could develop recommendations to the IGF on a development agenda.
<BR><BR>3. <BR>Internet governance has up to this time largely been founded
in technical principles and, increasingly, on the Internet’s functionality
as a giant global marketplace. With the Internet becoming increasingly
central to many social and political institutions, we are of the view that a
consideration of 'internet rights and principles' can provide the basis for
a more comprehensive conceptual framework for IG. <BR><BR><BR>In Sharm El
Sheikh, specific 3-hour workshops on the two themes of a development agenda
and Net Neutrality were organized, which represents a certain degree of
maturity of these themes within the IGF context. These successful and
productive sessions should be build upon in 2010. <BR><BR>The Dynamic
Coalition on Internet Rights and Principles has done dynamic and productive
work on the issue of IRP, highlighting the concept of Dynamic Coalitions and
laying the groundwork to address this issue as part of the Vilnius agenda.
<BR>Thank you very much. <BR>Best, <BR>Ginger
