<p>It is interesting but googling the animal farm quote gives me more than
one article and blog post that talks about institutionalized racism. Which
this smug and automatic assumption of superiority over other stakeholders
actually is, after a fashion. <br>
<br>
We have seen more than one attempt to redefine civil society in such a
manner as to shut out, say, the technical community, which makes your
calling out this behavior quite a good idea. <br>

</span></div><br><div dir="ltr">Dear all,<div><br></div><div>As many of you
know, the budget and funding issue has been a pet project of mine since
February, and has been quite intense since I joined the MAG in May.
It's a frustrating process because the way that the UN accounts for
projects is not standard (they don't use GAAP accounting, for example),
it's obscure, and the details are limited to donors. This makes it
really complicated: there's no way to attract donors unless there is
transparency, and even when one becomes a donor, there is still much to be
desired. I'll spare further soap-boxing on this point for another day,
but offer some of the following facts for the community. I don't claim
to understand all of this nor have any of us verified them, but at this
point sharing them is the only thing that I can see as a path towards
resolution. We have two concrete asks that we think can be helpful.</div>
<div><b><br></b></div><div><b>#1, Request for ID-IGF: tell us what number
is needed.</b> </div><div>The organization in Indonesia that is now
sponsoring the IGF is ID-IGF, and their fundraising <a
href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BylRrf_lFlA9OXhieGt5WUJsMkU/edit"
target="_blank">brochure is here</a>. It's actually a $2m total figure
(although we've also heard $2.5), but the source for the $2m number is
on p. 8 ("The overall fundraising target for hosting the IGF in 2013
is USD $1,966,560.20") There are certainly many things that can be
reduced, as Vint mentions.<i> Thus, we ask ID-IGF to provide us with a
bottom-line number on what they need to raise to move forward.</i></div>
<div><b><br></b></div><div><b>#2, Request for UNDESA: clear the path for
Tides. </b> As of right now, if any individual wants to fund the IGF, they
need an individual contract with UNDESA to do so. That is a complicated
process and does not scale (it took Google more than six months to
negotiate the contract last year). While crowdsourcing would be wonderful,
it's completely impossible. We have a proposed solution, but it is
stalled. We propose working with <a href="http://Tides.org"
target="_blank">Tides.org</a>, a non-profit that can aggregate funds.
Through Tides, we could set up a simple website and crowdsource. <a
href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x9qkyvKcIr8acXahMXHf-WI3MeaWlKLahFVYMSGJpgw/edit"
target="_blank">Here is my email about Tides</a> as sent to donors and MAG
in Feb and in May, and <a
href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BylRrf_lFlA9WUtncWlrc192Y1U/edit?usp=sharing"
target="_blank">here the actual Tides proposal</a> that Tides sent to the
IGF. <b> </b><i>Our request to UNDESA: clear the path for the Tides
proposal so that crowdsourcing can be enabled (UNDESA and Tides have met
various times and have exchanged documents, but after five months, it is
still open, but should be able to wrap quickly).</i></div>
<div><b><br></b></div><div><b>#3, Request for UNDESA: share the budget
details with the community. </b>We've asked many times for more
transparency in the budget, as noted above. I've documented this
request with UN officials as well. It's crucial and not at all
controversial in government entities, and it's fundamental to create
trust and attract further donors. We've asked UNDESA to share that and
think it's important that it be acted upon. <i> Request for UNDESA:
share the overall budget details on the IGF with the community, both for
the IGF activities and for in-country budgets. </i></div>
<div><div

straightforward but we'll need the community to support us if you
agree.</div>

<div>... and I don't believe we have ever been able to get what in
business we might call a reasonable budget. Large-scale events like the IGF
are expensive and a figure of 2.5mm USD is not unreasonable. I can also
state the 900k USD figure for UN "security
and support" is in line with estimates I have hear bandied about. I
have also been told that those costs are unavoidable for a UN event.</div>

<div>I, and I expect many others, would consider an attendance fee quite

It's very tempting to second-guess what is going on, it's sure the

<div> In that vein Dr. Alejandro, the numbers show that the Indonesian
organizers<br>
had already successfully raised US$1.15M, a not insubstantial amount. Yes,<br>
there is still a shortfall of US$1.05M. But it seems to me that without
that<br>
single $900K expense item (mentioned by Prof. Ang below), then the Indons
are<br>
already very close (only $105K remaining) to meeting their target budget?<br>
