Jeremy,<br>
<br>
My concern is related to the lack of civil society organizations who
are actively participating within the IGF - CSTD process but who are
quite active in the IG field at the national level, regional level,
within the OECD, WIPO, Council of Europe, European Commission,
ASEAN, APEC, or other processes. A discussion on the future of the
IGF pop up in the last ICCP meeting at the OECD.<br>
<br>
This discussion touch several areas beyond CIR, like Access to
Knowledge / Digital Education (copyright cops copyright enforcement
agenda), Cybersecurity (Privacy, Freedom of Expression,
Association), Child Protection (Privacy, freedom of expression). A
decision about a global IG space to discuss global Internet Public
Policy issues with binding agreements need to involved, not only
those who are members of IGC and participate in their own personal
capacity, but also those organizations who are also actually working
on the field, and who are not involved in the politics of what is
going on here. Yes, the Librarians, the A2K movement, the privacy
advocate community, the actual FOE organizations.<br>
<br>
A few thoughts for an early Saturday morning<br>

Thanks Jeremy. OK. I have one more additional comment. We should
also encourage organizations on their own to submit their own
comments, specially if there are so diverse points of view
expressed on the list. ???? <br>

just been released at <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Meanwhile, we've been informed that "due to diverging
opinions", the composition of the working group has not yet been
decided and that consultations about this issue are still
underway.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So until the CSTD's IGF working group is officially
appointed, my suggestion is that the nominees that our nomcom
put forward for that group should put their heads together and
come up with a draft response to the questionnaire for us.
(In fact Izumi and I had discussed that they could do this
for the earlier CSTD questionnaire too.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If this is OK with everyone, I'll set up another new
mailing list for that group, and add the nominated members to
it. We'll ask them to put together a draft response to the
questionnaire, and to run it past the main mailing list not
later than 12 November (a week before the deadline).</div>
