<pre wrap="">you are right, time is ripe to bring now the many "small rivers" which emerged from the many "hot and cold springs" in the last two years into something like a "mainstream" which becomes politically relevant. I fully support a pre-event (The "Quo Vadis" Session) for Baku. I further support the idea, that the IGC produces an own statement (one or two position papers) on principles and EC. This could be done online with a dateline October 15, 2012 and could be used as background material for the "Quo Vadis" session. Additionally there should be a background paper which just describes briefly all the various initiatives by governmental (IBSA, Shanghai, OECD, CoE etc.) and non-governmental (DC IRP, Brazil, APC, ICC etc.) bodies (something like a "mapping of the scene") so that we have a full overview what has been achieved so far and where we have the gaps.</pre>

Great! An easy way for people to contribute would be to send links
to the other principles initiatives to me or to the list, and I'll
add them to our website - have a look at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.igcaucus.org/links">http://www.igcaucus.org/links</a> for a start I've made already.<br>
<br>
Also good news that we are still intending to start something
concrete on EC in Baku, though I hope for more than just a position
paper.<br>
