<p class=MsoNormal>Hi Bill,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Very interesting topic! Do you think you guys might also
address or come up with some research agenda items on that? You may have
noticed my "mission in action" status in policy advocacy or activism
over the last couple years (and as you probably know, there's something dogging
me I really needed and still need to get out of the way) but my past/recent experience
in IG line of action has made me want to take on a research agenda on "IG
and Economic Diversity" (or IG4D if you will)... So you all may take this
either as a warning ;-) or... as a call for future collaboration.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Seriously, I think a research agenda is
warranted (in policy, political economy, or social sciences in general)
and I'd be interested to hear about any developments on that front and to take
part in any relevant effort when the time comes.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>From a practice perspective, I was involved (as Diplo fellow
to WGIG Secretariat) in the effort led by Karen Banks among WGIG members to
draft the final report chapter on development, but it was a beginning, a good
one, and to my recollection the discourse at that point was rather generally
ICT than specifically IG. Then it was the "ICANN nexus" as you point
out that has been the most eye-opening for me. During relevant policy
development processes on the GNSO council I repeatedly raised concerns about,
among other things, the cost structure of new gTLD applications with in
mind potential registry-wannabe's from developing regions. We discussed
with fellow council members about options to address the issue, and I remember
Marilyn Cade was trying to champion the idea of an ICANN foundation or rather
funds-in-trust to help with that, if my memory is correct. I am not sure what
has happened to that concern and those ideas since I left the council. We also
had interesting process and relevant discussions with Lee and our colleagues in
the Caribbean during their 2006 regional IGF in Grenada.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Anyway, the reason why I'm now highlighting "economic
diversity" as opposed to "development" (although I might retain
the latter for international cooperation and UN types consumption) is that
"development" brings up reflexes of assistance on both sides - and I
contend even more on the "donor" side than we may want to think. I
personally would rather take a more entrepreneurship-oriented approach in order
to foster participation of developing countries in the information economy at
all levels possible; I'd like to see a global IG regime that gives "equal
opportunity" to players from all across the globe, not only those who can
afford lawyers' fee in some country(ies) where they are the highest in the
world (as if linguistic divide was not enough burden to many of them). And as a
scholar, I'd like to be able to bring sound and robust arguments, based on
research findings, to bear on that issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>In the mean time it will be useful to see, from your
workshop, how IG issues can be framed in relation to the other development
agendas in international affairs and global governance. I look forwards to
hearing about your proceedings and conclusions. I wish every success to
your workshop, Tijani's, the rest of the workshops, to all IGC participants and
to the whole Forum. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>This looks very interesting, I wish it didn't overlap with
the Setting the Scene session I have to attend (we'll be talking about some of
the background papers included in the Sharm book, which are mostly by IGC
members). I also wish it had popped up on the radars of the planning
group for the IG4D main session; don't know how we missed it, very sorry.
But while you're not listed as a "feeder workshop" for that
session, it would be great if you could anyway provide an input on its main
conclusions etc.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>BTW, the relationships between new gTLDs, IDNs and
development will also be an element of a more broadly framed workshop, the
fourth I've organized on the notion of a development agenda, description below.
It'd be good if we could pursue some synergies between the two, as well
as with other IG4D-related events, e.g. the main session, George Sadowsky's
workshop WS 174 (which precedes mine in the same room), etc. Development
is much more prominent on this year's agenda than in previous IGFs, but it
would take some initiative to build on that going forward.<o:p></o:p></p>

15 September, 16:30-18:30, Room 3<br>
<br>
A Development Agenda Approach to Internet Names and Numbers<br>
<br>
A development agenda can be defined as a holistic program of analysis and
action intended to mainstream development considerations into the procedures
and policy outputs of global governance mechanisms. While there have been
concerted efforts to pursue such agendas in the multilateral institutions
dealing with issues like international trade and intellectual property, there
has been no corresponding initiative with respect to global Internet
governance. Hence, a series of interrelated workshops has been organized at
the Rio, Hyderabad and Sharm el Sheikh IGF meetings to help foster
dialogue on the possible establishment of such an initiative. Over the
course of these events, participants have considered the potential
value-added of a development agenda; fleshed out its broad institutional and
substantive contours; identified some particularly important linkages between
internet governance and development that merit further consideration; and in
light of the WSIS principles, agreed that the IGF is the most appropriate venue
in which to devise an approach to mainstreaming development within
Internet governance institutions, as applicable. Building on these
foundations, the next step in the process should be to test the general
model in a specific issue-area and institutional context in order to identify
possible refinements.<br>
<br>
Accordingly, the proposed Vilnius workshop would apply the development agenda
approach to the field of Internet names and numbers, with particular attention
being devoted to the ICANN nexus. In addition to advancing IG4D
efforts within the IGF, the workshop also could provide food for thought to the
growing dialogue within ICANN on how to better address development
concerns. The three main elements of a development agenda to be
considered would include: a) capacity building partnerships to enable the
effective participation of governmental and nongovernmental actors in
technical dialogues and decision making processes; b) institutional
measures---e.g. with respect to information overload, working methods and
culture, and possibly development-oriented focal points---that could facilitate
increased engagement; and c) identification of the substantive policy
issues that may raise distinctive developmental considerations and to which a
developmental orientation could usefully be brought to bear. <br>
