<div>Hi Mawaki</div>

<div>I think it would be great if IGC could make some sort of submission for
NetMundial, but with a March 8 deadline and a preceding consensus call it may
prove difficult</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would leave my proposal re IANA out of it because I know many here have
different opinions (some slight, some major) and I dont think a consensus
statement could be achieved. So perhaps we should concentrate on Louis’s list of
principles, ie</div><div>

Louis mentioned this was being worked on for a NetMundial submission – Louis, if
you would like to, and could put forward a final draft by say COB Tuesday, I

be a co-signatory?</font></div>

<div style="font-family:"Calibri";font-size:small;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;display:inline"><div><div class="h5">
<div dir="ltr">Dear All,
<div> </div>
<div>First of all, I wish to apologize on behalf of Deirdre and myself for the
prolonged silence. We both have been caught at the same time in other immediate
commitments with various demands on our time, including traveling and the
burdens that come with (starting with the reason why one might be traveling in
the first place which can only be carried out during the limited time of such
travels.) Anyway, you get my drift...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now I'd like to get the ball rolling on things that we as IGC might want to
do this year by building on those who have already posted ideas and suggestions
regarding the NetMundial at <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">São</span> Paulo. While
it may be late for starting to prepare a written submission which is expected to
be in by March 8, perhaps we may still start working out something that could be
delivered during the proceedings if we are given the opportunity (or simply as a
first step in the formulation of some basic ideas we might seek consensus on at
some point in the process in response to Ig challenges of the day, even beyond
<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">São</span>
Paulo.)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On that note, I remember Antonio Medina Gómez sending to the list a note
dated Jan 22 where he volunteered "<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">to attend the meeting and
act as Rapporteur for the IGC to report back on meetings in real time. Let me
know what your thoughts are. I will also update you daily and at the end of the
meeting produce a report on key observations. I think having a team of IGC
rapporteurs would be useful and I am willing to volunteer."</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></span></div>
<div>So maybe beyond written submissions, the question that looms ahead is: How
are we going to organize IGC presence and participation in the proceedings in
<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">São</span>
Paulo? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Meanwhile and for immediate consideration, I have seen over the recent days
two proposals/statements that appear to me a good starting point for discussing
any possible input by IGC or subsets/member of IGC. One is more about principles
and the other more focused on a practical solution to one problem. I have copied
and pasted them as follows. </div>

<div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></span></div>Roadmap
(and principles) for internalisation of the former IANA functions within
the multistakeholder ICANN model.<br><br>This roadmap concentrates on one
internet governance issue only – the future of the IANA functions which have
been the subject of much past discussion because current arrangements are seen
by many to be outside of the preferred multistakeholder model.<br><br>Indeed,
IANA itself was established in an era before current internet governance
models (multistakeholder) and governance institutions (eg ICANN) were in
existence.<br><br>ROADMAP<br><br>This roadmap suggests that the IANA functions,
though necessary processes in the secure and authoritative functioning of the
Internet, no longer need a separate entity and would more productively merged
with similar functions under the auspices of ICANN. Subject of course to many
concerns about details, this direction appears to have widespread support from
governments, civil society, technical community, and private sector.<br><br>In
order to achieve this desired change efficiently and productively, the following
roadmap is proposed.<br><br>1. ICANN should
be requested to prepare a proposal for management of the previous IANA functions
within the ICANN multistakeholder model, bearing in mind the following
criteria:<br><br>(a) protection of the root zone from political or other
improper interference;<br><br>(b) integrity, stability, continuity, security and
robustness of the administration of the root zone;<br><br>(c) widespread
[international] trust by Internet users in the administration of this function;
(d) support of a single unified root zone; and<br><br>(e) agreement regarding an
accountability mechanism for this function that is broadly accepted as being in
the global public interest."<br><br>2. Preparation of the proposal should
involve discussion with all major stakeholder groups, with a completion
timetable for a first draft for discussion at the Internet Governance Forum in
Turkey in September 2014.<br><br>3. To expedite completion in a timely manner,
it is suggested that outside consultants be engaged to prepare the discussion
paper (proposal) in consultation with major stakeholders.<br><br>4. The solution
must have the following characteristics<br><br>(a) offers a legal structure that
is robust against rogue litigation attacks<br><br>(b) is aligned with the
Internet technical infrastructure in a way that supports innovative, technology
based evolution of the DNS .<br><br>(c) is an inclusive model<br><br>(d) is a
demonstrable improvement on current processes in this area<br><br>END of
proposals
<div> </div>
<div>Deirdre also has suggested the possibility of a series of very short
statements (micro-blogging kind of length) to capture succinct positions on
critical points. She will probably say more on that in the next couple of
days.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Meanwhile I am inviting you all to step forward and share your thought
about the above.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you. <br><br>
