<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi All<br>
<br>
Is it possible to get a copy of the document that was circulated at the
workshop # 60 held by CoE on the work of the expert group on cross
border Internet. From the TOR document of the expert committee I have,
this looks a very promising effort and I greatly look forward to the
outcomes. It seems to address very well all key cross border issue -
managing system security and stability, </font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">human rights on the Internet, </font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">cross border net neutrality and
the global public value of the Internet. <br>
<br>
Would like to see how this effort connects to the open consultation on
enhanced cooperation that has to take place before the end of the year.
<br>
<br>
Everton Lucero of Brazil made the most important point (i read the
transcript) at the workshop that it is important to get all countries</font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"> involved</font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"> right from the very start in any
such discussion on global Internet policy frameworks - whether hard or
soft. The danger is that we seem to be going right down the path of
cyber security treaty and the ACTA, whereby there is this new tendency
of some more powerful countries negotiating treaties etc among
themselves on issues and areas that have by default global application,
and then offer them to other countries to opt-on, if they so please.
Mostly, at least in the long run, there is no option. <br>
<br>
In the plenary on 'IG for development' the issue of equitable
participation from all countries in global IG came up as perhaps the
most prominent issue </font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">(atleast,
in my view)</font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">. We need
participation of all, not just a selective stakeholderism. One of
course has no problem with regional groups discussing about and
negotiating their own policy frameworks, but the overall context has to
be kept in mind. And this overall context at present is the fact that
no progress is being made vis a vis the WSIS mandated process of
enhanced cooperation, we need to know and understand why, and come out
with our respective positions on taking the mandated process ahead,
after, and as a consequence of, the slated open consultation enhanced
cooperation.<br>
<br>
I propose that the Caucus, as a global progressive civil society IG
organization, makes a statement calling for participation of all
stakeholders of all countries in a global process dealing with the kind
of issues that the CoE process is dealing with, and that the respective
regional and national (like the Brazilian one) processes feed into such
a global process.<br>

The transcript is published. (I went to a different workshop that day)

I guess that someone on this list can provide additional information.
