In my view, so far the processes for soliciting and handling<br>
substantive inputs are still totally undefined, and as I understand<br>
the current set-up, it will be part of the responsibility of the<br>
Executive Committee to ensure that these processes for the<br>
substantive discourse will be good, transparent and accountable.<br>
<br>
If that isn't achieved, I will consider the Brazil MSM to be a failure<br>
before it has even started.<br>
<br>
But IMO right now there is no reason to be fatalistic about this!!!<br>
<br>
I'd suggest that all shortcomings of the processes through which<br>
various committees are populated are significant only if those<br>
shortcomings lead to the MSM not having good, transparent and<br>
accountable processes for the substantive discourse, or to the MSM's<br>
output document not having worthwhile content.<br>
<br>
I think that a lot of the criticisms that you Michael and others have<br>
made are valid, but unless the meeting dates are postponed, it is<br>
simply not possible now to reboot the committee selection processes.<br>
<br>
Why don't we use the time until the first meeting of the “Executive<br>
Multistakeholder Committee” (Monday, January 27th) to come up with a<br>
proposal for “good, transparent and accountable processes for the<br>
substantive discourse”?<br>
<br>
I'm making myself available as editor for such a proposal document.<br>
<br>
Ideally this document will be formally adopted by the IGC through a<br>
consensus or rough consensus process; I will certainly conduct the<br>
editing process for this proposal document with the aim of reaching IGC<br>
consensus if possible. If however it turns impossible to reach IGC<br>
consensus, that will not be the end of the idea to create such a<br>
proposal, but rather I would in that case publish the proposal as a<br>
sign-on statement.<br>
<br>
Greetings,<br>
Norbert<br>
