<br>
"setting up a centralized institutional framework on global level,

<br>
In my opinion:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">- T<b>he IG
regime needs to produce policy and coordinate regulation</b> on substantive matters
(access, privacy, etc). The <b>IGF is the only forum where substantive issues are
discussed, but the way it is structured (which is a feature, not a bug, and
should not be changed) makes it impossible for the IGF to perform this role.</b> There
is noise and there is not a “membership”, which generates problems with legitimacy.
But the IGF needs to be considered when we talk about EC because <b>the
substantive inputs to draft policy and regulation need to come from the IGF</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">- <b>We do not
necessarely need to create new centralized structures to draft policy</b>. We do have a multistakeholder structure in place, the
MAG (functioning under UN). If the election of its members was made more transparent, then its role
could be changed, so it could receive input from the IGF and have competence to
perform the task of proposing policy and regulation. MAG could also have an
important role with coordinating with other organizations to perform its tasks.<br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">Leaving out the details of the propsal (ex: number of MAG members, etc), <b>do you
think the above is something you could agree with?</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">I get the
feeling from this conversation that sometimes we disagree because we are mixing
up different “parts” of our proposal, that is why I proposed to map the
positions that have been put forth on the list, so we can have a clearer idea
of which are exactly our agreements and disagreements.</span></p>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I don't think anyone is saying that regional setup like the COE should not be setup elsewhere, especially if the people in the regions think it is necessary. The OECD setup is a new thing and I would personally like to know more before we use it as an example for other activities.<br>
<br>
But setting up a centralized institutional framework on global level, especially affiliated with the UN or the UN system, just does not seem appropriate at this time and seems to me to be be just the sort of thing we escaped having happen at the ITU. I do not see why we would start advocating that in the IGC.<br>

>> I am still not able to understand how so many of those who are against any new institutional framework for evolving global IG related public policies, which is democratic in inclusion of all countries and stakeholders, have enthusiastically supported a similar framework among OECD countries? I mean the OECD's Committee For Information, Computer and Communication Policy, which has a very active portfolio for helping develop Internet policies, esp those with trans-border ramification. Many CS members in the IGC have actively organized themselves to associate with the work of this OECD's institutional framework.<br>

>> Why should such a framework not exist at a global level? And I do think that OECD's framework is not multistakeholder enough. My proposal is for a global framework of similar kind (to OECD's) that will help develop globally applicable Internet related public policies, which is what the 'enhanced cooperation' process is about, that is much more multistakeholder than the existing OECD one<br>
