According to WK there seems to be malicious CS around here. Could WK be more specific and point to the villains he is referring to? He can do that privately to you, if he feels he can't speak in the open.</div><div>- CS should remained '<b>federated</b>' to come with a 'coordinated' voice. Everyone understands what is a 'federated CS' or a 'coordinated voice' in here? I do not. Could WK explain what he means here? Are these new official multistakeholderism aphorism? </div><div>- Only if federated or coordinated CS should only consider talking to '<b>global multistakeholder IG negotiation table</b>'. Ahah, a negotiation table? Where is this happing Wolfgang?</div><div><br></div><div>So probably by sending such strong warnings, WK does really mean his: "This is not an easy task".</div><div><br></div><div>One interesting piece of news is his highly recommended strategy for the upcoming Independent Chair. Very helpful indeed. "<b>Please keep everything related to Human Rights</b>". As everyone knows, nobody can ever argue against Human Rights; moreover everyone knows that Human Rights is the most difficult topic among the many that are related to transnational governance. Very little progress to be recorded here. Of course, if one want to make sure that things move very very slowly, then that might be a good strategy. If status quo is part of HR, let's love status quo.</div><div><br></div><div>So let's keep talking Human Rights (I wonder as I am writing this if I am not already putting myself in the line of fire as someone going against Human Rights - unless my freedom of Expression right is enough to protect me from such avenge), and all will be well in the MS world of IG.</div><div><br></div><div>So let's be happy with One Thought, One Idea, One Internet, One vision of it. Pluralism is old fashion, concentration is better. Opinions are dangerous, communion is mandatory. Debating is a waste of time, let's listen to our masters.</div><div><br></div><div>Love you Wolfgang.</div><span><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>JC</div>

This is not an easy task. The challenges are high. And Virginia deserves the support of all well intentioned CS groups in this field. With Ian as co-chair I am sure that Virginia will be able to help us to leave some useless internal battles behind us and move forward. <br><br>There is a need that CS remains "federated" and comes with a coordinated voice to the global multistakeholder Internet Governance negotiation table. 2016 will be the first year after the WSIS 10+ Review. It will see - hopefully - the expiration of the IANA contract. We will have the OECD Ministerial Conference in Cancun. We will have new rounds of global talks on cybersceurity and digital trade. We will see new emering problems related to the the Internet of Things and other technological or business innovations. There is an ongoing need to relate all those issues to human rights. And everyhwere a strong civil society is needed. Without the voice of civil society the multistakeholder approach will remain an empty concept. <br><br>Best wishes<br><br>Wolfgang<br><br><br><br><br>-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht-----<br>Von: <a href="mailto:governance-request@lists.igcaucus.org" target="_blank">governance-request@lists.igcaucus.org</a> im Auftrag von Deirdre Williams<br>Gesendet: So 13.12.2015 12:56<br>An: Internet Governance<br>Betreff: [governance] CSCG CHAIR<br><br>Dear All,<br><br>Copied below is the announcement of the new arrangements for the CSCG Chair.<br><br>Best wishes<br><br>Deirdre<br><br>CSCG CHAIR ARRANGEMENTS<br><br><br><br>The Internet Governance Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG) is pleased<br>to announce that, following consideration of a range of names put forward<br>for the role of Independent Chair, it has agreed to appoint Virginia Paque.<br>As well, and at Virginia's request, Ian Peter will continue on in a<br>parallel role as Co-Chair with her for 12 months, to allow for both a<br>smooth transition and load sharing over the coming year.<br><br>Virginia Paque has previous experience with CSCG, having been the<br>representative of Diplo Foundation on CSCG until recently, when Diplo asked<br>to withdraw because, despite its active involvement with and support of<br>civil society, it could not be described as a coalition of civil society<br>members.
