The degree in which they are able to collaborate and engage will determine tomorrow's landscape.<br>

Put on one of your fabulous outfits, and then remind them, that
working inclusively and respectfully with all stakeholder groups,
particularly those that lack power and influence - i.e. civil
society - is very different from putting on a colourful West
African outfit :) It takes hard work, change in behaviour, change
in structures and procedures, consultation, respect, trust,
debate, and struggle, because do not always agree. It also
requires a common framework of principles that defines what the
public interest is in internet governance that can be used to
promote and protect this public interest across the internet
governance ecosystem and it is this framework that we trust the
NetMundial can get us closer to.<br>
<br>
You could also mention surveillance, with particularly - but not
only - mass surveillance demonstrating how easy it is to destroy
trust, and to deny accountability. And, is there any tougher test
for multi-stakeholder internet governance? I think it would be
good to get the message accross that the IANA transition is not
the only issue that NetMundial should be discussing, but at the
same time, it is a key opportunity to come up with solutions and
approaches that are not simply cosmetic.<br>

<br>
major issues
<br>
Dear all,
<br>
<br>
I got a message this morning from NetMundial Chair, Virgilo,
inviting me
<br>
to speak at the Opening Ceremony of Netmundial (meaning I have
to pack
<br>
one of those African dresses) for some 8 minutes.
<br>
<br>
I have replied to say "I will be speaking from the Civil Society
<br>
perspective, which is my Stakeholder Group".
<br>
<br>
There is a Web Foundation media team that will help me put my
ideas into
<br>
place, but I cannot not request input from here, so that no
major issues
<br>
will be overlooked.
<br>
<br>
<br>
I travel Thursday evening thru Friday, so the earliest I can
share a
<br>
draft/keypoints will be Monday.
<br>
<br>
Hope we can pull this off well.
<br>
<br>
All for now
<br>
<br>
Nnenna
<br>
<br>
