<div>Dear all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>First, thanks Wolfgang for this starting information. I was really needing some kind of map like this. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now going to the point, thanks Izumi for your ideas, and I want to express my disposition to contribute with this proposal, specially in the enlargement of spanish-speaking (portuguese also) LAC representation within this caucus.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If there are more LAC spanish/portuguese speaking members in this list, I suggest as first step to create a sub-group and start thinking on how to enlarge and improve our representation, participation and incidence in IGC/IGF.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks and best,</div>
<div>Roxana</div>

<blockquote style="BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; PADDING-LEFT: 1ex" class="gmail_quote">Hi<br><br>I fully support the elaboration of a strategy paper "Internet Governance 2015: Priorities for Civil Society" (based on previous CS documents to avoid the reinvention of the wheel). It should have - inter alia - a brief historical chapter, an overvierw about main issues and institutions of todays policy environment where the key issues are negotiated/discussed, a chapter with a list of challenges of tomorrow and a final statement with CS IG priorities, principles and objectives for the CS IG Agenda 2015.<br>
In an Annex we could have a timeline until 2015 which would list the main forthcoming events and also an ornagigram which gives on imagination about the various interconnected negotiations and discussions places and spaces.<br>
<br>Furthermore it would make sense to produce a brochure with CS IG statements and position papers from 2020 to 2010 which would show the outside world our continous engagement in the issue. Such a publication would also help the next generation of CS IG leaders to understand where they are coming from and what still has to be done and is the let over from the agendas of the first decade of the 21st century. The publication could also include facts and figures about IGC itself (Charter, proceudures, names of actual and previous chairs etc.)<br>
<br>Experience tell us further, that CS activities are always stimulated by global or regional events.<br><br>Here is my very preliminary list of relevant events for CS-IG in 2011<br><br>2011:<br>February: IGF/UNCSTD Consultations in Geneva<br>
March: ICANN Meeting in San Francisco<br>May: WSIS Forum and IGF/UNCSTD Consultations in Geneva<br>June: ICANN meeting in Asia<br>September: IGF in Nairobi<br>ICANN meeting in Africa<br>November: UNGA in New York<br>over the year: Regional IGFs in Africa, Asia, Europa and Latin America<br>
<br>And here are some processes/institutions, which should be under observation:<br>UN: Enhanced Cooperation and IGF Improvement<br>ITU: Implementation of PP 10 / Preparation of the ITU World Conference on International Telecommunication 2012<br>
OECD: Implementaiton of ther Seoul Declaration fronm 2008 / Internet Economy / CISSAC<br>European Commission: Implementation of the Digital Agenda 2020, including "Internet of Things" Task Froce<br>Council of Europa: Proposal for a "Framework of Commitments for Cross Border Internet Governance"<br>
ACTA/WTO/WIPIO: Plans to finanlize the Draft of the ACTA Agreement, WIPOS Development Agenda and the Broadcasting Treaty<br>1st Committee UNGA: Ideas for a UN Treaty on Cybersecurity<br>World Economic Forum (Davos) and Worl Social Forum (Porto Allegre)<br>
National legislation in key countries, in particular US, EU, Australia, Japan, BRIC etc.<br><br>Regards<br><br>Wolfgang<br><br>________________________________<br><br>Von: Anriette Esterhuysen [mailto:<a href="mailto:anriette@apc.org">anriette@apc.org</a>]<br>

<div class="h5"><br><br><br>Dear Izumi and all<br><br>Like the others who have posted, Ginger, Tracy, Christopher, Hempal and<br>Imran I think this is a good idea.<br><br>I suggest we keep the use of working teams as light as possible.. being<br>
too ambitious could lead to disappointment. The idea of a strategy is<br>VERY good and it would be really helpful if it enables us to work on<br>issues and policy forums beyond just the IGF such as for example ACTA<br>and the ITU. Even if we cannot actively work in all these forums, it<br>
would be useful for us to understand what their implications are for<br>internet governance that is inclusive of civil society participation and<br>priorities.<br><br>This also relates to last week's discussion on the 2003 CS charter. It<br>
does feel as if the last few years have been really 'busy' but in quite<br>a fragmented way. A workplan could help us to identify a few broad goals<br>that we can have consensus on, and then we can check back in a year's<br>
time on what progress / or lack of it there has been.<br><br>I am sorry I cannot volunteer to help in a big way as I am barely coping<br>with work at the moment, but I will do my best to participate and will<br>certainly comment on documents.<br>
