As most of you know, the formation of<br>>> this group is one of the outcomes from the WSIS +10 Review conducted last<br>>> year.<br>>><br>>> As its precedent, it has its basis in the Tunis Agenda<br>>> <http://www.itu.int/net/wsis/docs2/tunis/off/6rev1.html>, where the<br>>> notion<br>>> of "enhanced cooperation" is developed in paragraph 69. You'll remember<br>>> that this text established a distinction between the day-to-day<br>>> operations<br>>> of the Internet and Internet public policy issues. But various<br>>> interpretations have been made, hence the ongoing debate over the past<br>>> decade.<br>>><br>>> At the heart of the issue are *very different views on whether "enhanced<br>>> cooperation" *is specifically about enhancing the role of governments<br>>> in Internet governance, or whether it's about enhancing cooperation among<br>>> *all* stakeholders, including governments. ISOC supports the latter,<br>>> where we have a broad/inclusive understanding of "enhanced cooperation".<br>>><br>>> *Current consultation opportunity*<br>>> All Internet stakeholders are invited to share their thoughts with the UN<br>>> on two questions:<br>>><br>>> - What are the high level characteristics of enhanced cooperation?<br>>> - Taking into consideration the work of the previous WGEC and the<br>>> Tunis Agenda, particularly paragraphs 69-71, what kind of<br>>> recommendations<br>>> should we consider?<br>>><br>>> The Internet Society is preparing its submission and would value its<br>>> members' input, either on this list or sent to Carl Gahnberg (<br>>> gahnberg@isoc.org) and myself. You can also send your contributions<br>>> directly to the UN CSTD Secretariat (stdev@unctad.org) before December 7.<br>>> *For<br>>> more information*, please consult the Chair's invitation *here*.<br>>><br>>> Lastly, I would also like to encourage you to spread this information<br>>> among your respective networks/mailing lists.<br>>><br>>> Thank you and best regards,<br>>><br>>> Constance<br>>><br>>> *Reply to Sender Online<br>>> <http://connect.internetsociety.org/communities/all-discussions/postreply/?GroupId=31&SenderKey=2dcc1f15-753a-414a-a60f-5a238a304bb5&MID=12749>*<br>>> *View Thread<br>>> <https://connect.internetsociety.org/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread/?GroupId=31&MID=12749&tab=digestviewer>*<br>>> *Flag as Inappropriate<br>>> <https://connect.internetsociety.org/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread/?MarkAppropriate=b76c5f25-289a-4e59-bd76-652ab2bf5b98&MID=12749&GroupID=31>*<br>>><br>>><br>>><br>>><br>>> You are subscribed to "Chapter Leaders Community" as aceesay84@gmail.com.<br>>> To change your subscriptions, go to My Subscriptions<br>>> <http://connect.internetsociety.org/preferences?section=Subscriptions>.<br>>> To unsubscribe from this community discussion, go to Unsubscribe<br>>> <http://connect.internetsociety.org/HigherLogic/eGroups/Unsubscribe.aspx?UserKey=2910bcf1-1cd9-44b7-ab54-7c37e69f7722&sKey=09f5527556464a249aa2&GroupKey=679aae94-6767-4b89-af2f-4f6122e16416><br>>> .<br>>><br>>><br>>> _______________________________________________<br>>> Fellowships-alumni mailing list<br>>> Fellowships-alumni@icann.org<br>>> https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/fellowships-alumni<br>>><br>>><br>>><br>>> ____________________________________________________________<br>>> You received this message as a subscriber on the list:<br>>> governance@lists.igcaucus.org<br>>> To be removed from the list, visit:<br>>> http://www.igcaucus.org/unsubscribing<br>>><br>>> For all other list information and functions, see:<br>>> http://lists.igcaucus.org/info/governance<br>>> To edit your profile and to find the IGC's charter, see:<br>>> http://www.igcaucus.org/<br>>><br>>> Translate this email: http://translate.google.com/translate_t<br>>><br>>><br>><br><br><br>-- <br>------------------------<br>**Arsène Tungali**<br>Co-Founder & Executive Director, *Rudi international<br><http://www.rudiinternational.org>*,<br>CEO,* Smart Services Sarl <http://www.smart-serv.info>*, *Mabingwa Forum<br><http://www.mabingwa-forum.com>*<br>Tel: +243 993810967<br>GPG: 523644A0<br>*Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo*<br><br>2015 Mandela Washington Felllow<br><http://tungali.blogspot.com/2015/06/selected-for-2015-mandela-washington.html><br>(YALI) - ISOC IGF Ambassador<br><http://www.internetsociety.org/what-we-do/education-and-leadership-programmes/next-generation-leaders/igf-ambassadors-programme/2015Ambassadors><br><http://www.internetsociety.org/what-we-do/education-and-leadership-programmes/next-generation-leaders/igf-ambassadors-programme/2015Ambassadors>-<br><br>Blogger <http://tungali.blogspot.com> - ICANN Fellow<br><https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-07-18-en>.
