Hi Anja - just to say that I did refer to the ideas in this paper
during the WGEC meeting this morning, though the quality of remote
participation made indepth discussion problematic.<br>

<div>Dear all,<br>
<br>
</div>
A lot of the discussion in the WGEC this morning seems to
have been about whether a new mechanism is needed or
whether existing mechanisms should be expanded and
improved upon. <br>
<br>
The Internet Democracy Project believes that we might need
a bit of both, though even new mechanisms should be
issue-specific, rather than being umbrella mechanisms that
deal with all kinds of topics. Neither the status quo nor
a unitary solution but a decentralised democratic and
multistakeholder model of global Internet governance is
the way forward.<br>
<br>
In terms of where moving forward should then happen for
different issues, we believe that much of the work of
locating such venues has already been done in the context
of the WSIS Action Lines, and rather than starting again
from scratch, this work should now be built upon, and the
Action Lines revived and reformed to make sure that their
potential also bears fruit. <br>
<br>
</div>
Our ideas are outlined in this short paper: <a href="http://internetdemocracy.in/reports/a-third-way-proposal-for-a-decentralised-democratic-internet-governance-involving-all-stakeholders/" target="_blank">http://internetdemocracy.in/reports/a-third-way-proposal-for-a-decentralised-democratic-internet-governance-involving-all-stakeholders/</a>
<br>
<br>
</div>
Any feedback and further ideas of course most welcome,
including offlist.<br>
<br>
</div>
Best regards,<br>

<div>Dear All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Firstly, I would like to wish all the CS WGEC members
best of luck in their meetings and deliberations.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here are some personal views. Noting para 19 of the
Secretary General's 2011 on Enhanced Cooperation on
Public Policy Issues pertaining to the Internet, see: <a href="http://unctad.org/meetings/en/SessionalDocuments/a66d77_en.pdf" target="_blank">http://unctad.org/meetings/en/SessionalDocuments/a66d77_en.pdf</a>
where it states that the Tunis Agenda "recognizes the
need for enhanced cooperation in Internet Related
international public policy making but not in the day to
day operational and technical matters that do not have
an impact on international public policy issues."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Today as the WGEC continues its discussions, there is
a notable shift. The global community appears to have
mixed reactions with the Tunis Agenda and its relevance.
The NRO facilitated a Workshop [No. 145] at the IGF
recently on Enhanced Cooperation where civil society,
technical community, private sector, intergovernmental
representatives showed practical examples of enhanced
cooperation. Suffice to say there are many practical
examples of enhanced cooperation, we only need to
dialogue with each other and across communities and
constituencies to find out.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Of greater concern to me is that civil society
holistically as it funnels through appointments to the
MAG, CSTD needs to coordinate a framework for selection.
No person should arbitrarily decide the process of
selection without discussion with the coalition of
stakeholders within civil society. This framework should
be tight and representatives to the MAG, CSTD should be
held accountable to all not just their flavour of the
month group. As we prepare to make an announcement soon
for calls for NomCom volunteers for MAG selection, we
will also revisit and make calls for noteworthy remarks
of fantastic work done and/or issues that people may
have with current MAG representatives from civil
society.</div>

There is a good discussion going on about
