[governance] <Urgent> Draft Joint Letter protesting CSTD WG
composition only by governments<BR>
<DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR>Dear list,<BR><BR>The "rumor" that the decision to compose CSTD
WG only by governments<BR>is now proven to be true, decided by very few
members of CSTD.<BR><BR>I have contacted ICC and ISOC, similar to the
joint letter work we had on<BR>Dec 14 consultation on enhanced
cooperation. They shared the same<BR>concern and worked out with many
others mostly at ICANN Cartagena<BR>meeting including ICANN, government
folks etc: UK, Sweden, US,<BR>ICANN, ccNSO etc.<BR><BR>Here is the
draft text as of now. They plan to send it shortly, and asking IGC<BR>to
join. There may be last-minute minor edit, but it is almost
final.<BR><BR>I propose that IGC to sign. IF you have any comments or
suggestions,<BR>please reply to this quickly. In general, we need
48 hours to decide,<BR>but in this<BR>special case, we may not have that
luxury of time.<BR><BR>I have prepared our own draft (sorry for the
complication), and now<BR>it is being edited by our nominees for CSTD
WG. My suggestion is<BR>to carry on this draft as well, and send it in
addition to the joint one.<BR><BR>I will post that draft in a separate
email and welcome your comments.<BR>We will send that and perhaps make
statement at Dec 17 WG meeting<BR>if they do not change their decision.
We will also include that and<BR>read that at Dec 14 EC consultation
meeting in New York.<BR><BR>Sorry for the confusing manner, but this
could happen, and I think<BR>acting quickly to keep the
Multi-stakeholder framework is urgently<BR>needed and important for
us.<BR><BR>I hope you understand and support
this.<BR><BR>best,<BR><BR>izumi<BR><BR>------------------<BR>DRAFT<BR><BR>To
Frederic Riehl<BR>Cc Ghana Chair of the CSTD<BR><BR>We are surprised and
deeply concerned by the CSTD Bureau’s decision<BR>that the Working
Group on IGF Improvements mandated by resolution<BR>(2010/2) of the
United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC)<BR>will be composed
exclusively of member states.<BR>This ECOSOC resolution, which was
initially negotiated during the CSTD<BR>in May 2010 by or in the
presence of many of the signatories below,<BR>asked the Chair of the
CSTD to establish a Working Group to: "seek,<BR>compile and review
inputs from all Member States and all other<BR>stakeholders on
improvements to the Internet Governance Forum (IGF),<BR>in line with the
mandate set out in the Tunis Agenda".<BR>These words are a clear
reference to the paragraph of the WSIS Plan of<BR>Action (Geneva 2003)
that led to the establishment of the very<BR>successful Working Group on
Internet Governance (WGIG) and ultimately<BR>the creation of the IGF
itself:<BR><BR>We ask the Secretary-General of the United Nations to set
up a working<BR>group on Internet governance, in an open and inclusive
process that<BR>ensures a mechanism for the full and active
participation of<BR>governments, the private sector and civil society
from both developing<BR>and developed countries, involving relevant
intergovernmental and<BR>international organizations and forums, to
investigate and make<BR>proposals for action…<BR><BR>We therefore
expected that the composition of the Working Group would<BR>be strongly
inspired by the methodology adopted for setting up
the<BR>multi-stakeholder WGIG, as stated as the CSTD
Vice-Chair’s<BR>recommendation in his report on the meeting he convened
on 16<BR>September 2010.<BR><BR>The format decided by the Bureau of the
CSTD is contrary to both the<BR>letter and the spirit of the ECOSOC
resolution and is therefore not<BR>acceptable.<BR><BR>In any event, it
is not up to the Bureau of the CSTD to make a<BR>decision on this
matter. This is not a Working Group of the CSTD, but<BR>rather a Working
Group to be convened by the Chair of the CSTD as<BR>instructed by the
ECOSOC resolution.<BR>The CSTD Chair entrusted you with the mission of
implementing the<BR>request made to her. In light of that and the above
information we<BR>urge you to retract the decision of 7 December, and to
establish an<BR>appropriately constituted Working Group consistent with
the WSIS<BR>formulation ensuring “the full and active participation
of<BR>governments, the private sector and civil society from both
developing<BR>and developed countries, involving relevant
intergovernmental and<BR>international organizations and
forums”.<BR><BR>------------------<BR>____________________________________________________________<BR>You
