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 f inal 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 f
ocus 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 pr oposal 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>
<br>
Thank you very much.<br>
Best,<br>
Ginger<br>
