    <br>
    Dear Peter<br>
    <br>
    I went by what a member of the commission, Jeanette, told us. To
    quote " 50% of its membership consists of members of the parliament
    and 50% of experts appointed by the parliamentary factions,
    depending on their relative size" . So I really got my facts right
    here.<br>
    <br>
    It is strange that you consider a parliamentarian who may also run
    his own business as an industry representative.  I am sure the
    concerned parliamentarian will better like to describe himself as a
    people's representative, which is what he is.  I thought stakeholder
    group  representatives were those whom stakeholder groups expressly
    put forward as their representative. But it seems more you venture
    into the multistakeholderism world, the less you are clear about it.
    <br>
    <br>
    You say at least two business representatives other than the
    parliamentarian  - who I understand were 'experts' nominated by
    political parties. Now that makes them experts nominated by
    political parties and not industry representatives, never mind what
    profession that may  pursue. <br>
    <br>
    But let me not argue with you. But I can at least hope that you will
    apply definitions consistently. I simply ask, would you take a
    global commission on the Internet with half the members who are
    'experts' nominated by various political factions in the UN - say,
    the regional groups or OECD country, G 77 etc groups  - as a
    multistakeholder body? <br>

                While one awaits further information, one thing is clear
                from the referred news item that the Commission strongly
                underscored the importance of cross cutting
                Internet-related public policy issues in asking the
                "German government to get more serious about
                Internet-related issues" and in seeking the setting up <b><i>a
                    new committee of the parliament for Internet-related
                    public policy issues</i></b> . To me, it closely
                parallels the Indian demand for the UN Committee on
                Internet-related Policies. The overall logic and
                justifications are very similar, especially with what we
                all recognise as an inherently global nature of the
                Internet.<br>
                <br>
                Will be interesting to know if the prosed German
                Parliamentary Committee will have similar levels of
                multistakeholder engagement as the India' proposed UN
                CIRP.  And I quote from the CIRP proposal so that
                people/ we can make a comparison. <br>

            <p>It will ensure the participation of all relevant
              stakeholders by establishing four Advisory Groups, one
              each for civil society, the private sector,

              the technical and academic community. The Advisory Groups
              will provide their inputs and recommendations to the CIRP
              . The meetings of CIRP and the advisory groups will be
              serviced by the UNCTAD Secretariat that also services the
              meetings of the Commission on Science and Technology for
