Hi Jeremy<br>
<br>
For quite some time now, my analysis/prediction about the efforts of
ICANN plus (and whoever backs them) vis vis the NetMundial has been
as follows;<br>
<br>
1. the main aim was to stop Brazil from the path Its President's
speech at the UN looked to be paving - that of engaging the global
community in UN spaces for the needed global Internet governance
mechanisms.... That aim has been achieved, at least for the time
being...<br>
<br>
2. To make an alluring offer to Brazil to get them off the track
mentioned above, which was in terms of some vague promises about
some real steps forward in terms of internationalisation of ICANN...
However as NetMundial approaches, we hear less and less of anything
concrete in this regard. Anyway, since the show was being arranged,
it was found useful if some good text could be got into the
NetMundial outcome docs on<i><b> 'multistakeholder decision making'
including, and specifically, on global public policy issues</b></i>.
This latter is the primary objective at this point. And the
mentioned parties have been going about in a completely unabashed
manner - helped considerably by some unexplained high degree of
bashfulness of the involved civil society. We saw 1 Net being formed
from nowhere (sorry, now we know, from an ICANN board decision), it
taking over the meeting's co-ownership, various shenanigans around
selection of its steering committee (which in any case is constantly
bypassed, and never seems to converse with the respective
constituencies), imposition of a person with highly questionable
standing and reputation as civil society leader of the meeting
(about which Ian again recommends further bashful for civil society)
, and now a sudden survey which will formulate the 1Net aka 'global
internet community' view on Internet principles for submission to
the netMundial..... and so on.... Believe me, you havent seen
nothing yet. Wait for the days close to the meeting....<br>
<br>
And of course, the proposed view to be submitted on 1Net's behalf
has this all important principle, "<span style="font-variant:
normal"><font color="#000000"><span style="text-decoration: none"><font
face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font size="4"><span
style="font-style: normal"><span style="font-weight:
normal"> Decisions made with respect to Internet
governance should onl</span></span></font></font></span></font></span>y
be made by bodies that allow free and equitable access to all
stakeholders at all points in the decision-making process." Well of
course. Two hoots to democracy!<br>
<br>
Now I shall come to the point, of my comments on the proposed
submission to NetMundial submitted by Jeremy.<br>
<br>
I of course support and commend both APC Principles and IRP
Principles - which seem the main burden of the submission....
BUT...<br>
<i><b><br>
</b></i><i><b>Can someone explain me the meaning of "equitable
multistakeholder participation"</b></i> and whether it is
different from what is meant in the above statement from 1Net's
survey. If so, how.... More precisely, are you seeking that all
stakeholders, including business reps, have equal part and role (as
gov reps) in making decisions about public policies. Please address
this point specifically. <br>
<br>
I hope those proposing this statement will explain this point. I
think it is their responsibility to do so, instead of slipping in
such concepts, what would in default be, somewhat surreptitiously,
which many potential signees are apt to miss..<br>
<br>
Thanks <br>

<div>Dear all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>With thanks to everyone for their hard work on the drafts, we
are now simultaneously launching three submissions for the
NETmundial meeting. These submissions are the end results of
extensive discussions on the Best Bits lists going back to last
year, with a final face-to-face review this week (particularly
on the roadmap for further evolution of the institutional
submission) by those of you who are present at RightsCon in San
Francisco.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The three complementary submissions, all of which are open
for endorsement separately, are:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<ol class="MailOutline">
<li>Internet governance principles, <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://bestbits.net/netmundial-principles/">http://bestbits.net/netmundial-principles/</a></li>
<li>Roadmap for the Further Evolution of the Internet
Governance Ecosystem – institutional mechanisms, <a

</ol>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>These will be formally submitted to NETmundial on 8 March
2014, but between now and then we are gathering as many
endorsements for each of the statements as we can. So please I
would encourage everyone to read the statements, to endorse each
of them separately (if you agree with them, of course), and then
to spread the word through social media, email or word of mouth.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks again to everyone involved, and we really hope to see
your endorsement on each of the submissions soon.</div>
