face=Arial>On a related note, I've just come back from participation (as a
researcher) in the first formal meeting of the <A
href="http://www.opengovpartnership.org/">Open Government
Partnership</A> (OGP). The OGP is another and newer
"multistakeholder partnership" but with some very key differences--formal
terms of membership (signing on to a declaration), formal accountability (a
prescribed review mechanism), and a formal status for Civil Society as a
"partner" with governments in the on-going process (including with a CS
representative as a co-Chair).</FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

face=Arial>There are of course, differences in domains, desired outcomes and
so on, but the structure of the OGP is worth a look, if nothing else as
concerning the evolving (and emerging) role of CS in global multilateral
governance structures and thus perhaps worth a discussion by the IGC and some
thoughts as to CS/MAG orientation. (I've written a <A
href="http://wp.me/pJQl5-9f">blogpost </A>on the OGP that might also be
of interest including some themes that link back to some of my earlier
interventions in this space ... </FONT></FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

put their name forward for MAG nominations, and supported this
process.<BR>Congrats to everyone who participated in any way, and good luck to
the new MAG.<BR><BR>I think I/we forget sometimes that our (the rest of us,
who are not on the MAG) responsibility does not end here. I hope we give the
new MAG clear input on what we want from them and from the IGF, here on the
IGC list, through the IGF consultations and website, and using all of the
resources that we have at our disposal. I know that I get caught up in other
work, and often do not make the time to do my part. I hope to do better this
year.<BR><BR>Good luck and energy to all!<BR>Cheers,<BR>Ginger<BR><BR><BR
