So, the use of "I/ IGF has been invited" was incorrect.... There is
no invitation to the IGF....... <br>
<br>
She could also clarify what she meant by "two way collaboration
between the WEF and IGF" as mentioned in the previous email.....
Could this important clarification also be got. thanks... parmider <br>

<div>Without commenting on any of the previous messages, I
just thought I'd share this post that I saw on AccessNow's
webpage today. It seems they will be at Davos bringing a
civil society perspective to some of the issues that many
of us on this mailing list care about. It seems possible
to provide input into the ideas and priorities that
AccessNow will be taking to the leaders in Davos:<br>

</p>
<p>From outreach action for IGF I normally
understand MAG chair and members letting
know other stakeholders, including
perhaps at specific meetings attended
for this purpose, the nature of IGF, its
deliberations, etc and encouraging wider
participation from new groups...<br>
</p>
<p>I do not understand from IGF outreach,
from what I understand about the IGF,
for MAG chair to go to policy or related
forums, representing IGF, and speaking
on substantive policy issues, which one
cannot do without giving specific views.
However, if this is your view of IGF
outreach as a MAG member, I will like to
discuss, and contest, it. <br>
</p>
<p>As you would notice from the email from
MAG chair, she mentions about speaking,
by all indications as IGF MAG chair, and
representing the IGF, at substantive
sessions, and indeed chairing
co-chairing an WEF initiative....
Further, i see mention of "two
collaboration between the WEG and IGF's
major policy initiatives ".... I had no
idea any such collaboration existed. Can
MAG members confirm it....<br>
</p>
<p>Also, pl confirm if these are
considered IGF outreach activities, and
legitimate roles for the IGF and some
people representing them. I request a
clear response.<br>
</p>
<p>And who funds participation and other
aspects of these activities, the IGF, (
i know that is very unlikely) , private
funds of the involved people, or the WEF
BECAUSE it is the IGF, and co-branding
helps? Again, please provide this
specific information.<br>
</p>
<p>Lastly, has the IGF and its MAG ever
considered doing outreach to, say, the
World Social Forum, the WEF equivalent
civil society space, or these outreaches
are only for the big business
venues.... <br>
</p>
<p>Thanks, parminder <br>

<div>Lynn St.Amour is a
highly qualified,
experienced member of this
community who could
contribute to WEF
appearing there on her own

<div>Most importantly
perhaps, that can damage

True neutrality requires
being utterly faithful to

so ensuring diametrically

comfortable in the
dialogue – so, NOT taking

Because when you
represent, you also
speak for. For whom
does the it speak,
and on what basis?
.. That is a mission
creep which has been
done without
consulting or even
declaring.... </span><br>
</p>
<p>IGF is not even an
agency like the WTO
which has a certain
substantive beinghood
..... Even WTO's going
to WEF and making
programs with WTO have
been criticised (see
for instance <a
href="http://www.twn.my/title2/wto.info/2017/ti171233.htm"
class="m_-2458789747517754957m_7348223181357659596m_3972584062568180740moz-txt-link-freetext"

moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.twn.my/<wbr>title2/wto.info/2017/ti171233.<wbr>htm</a> ).
I remember that when
the WEF centric
Netmundial Initiative
was formed the IGF was
invited to join it,
but a view was taken
that the IGF is not a
substantive agency/
organisation to
represent any
substantive view etc
to be a part of such
an initiative.... So,
why is "the IGF" going
to WEF now, and
"representing the IGF"
...... MAG is a
program management
committee, and it has
no role beyond
organising the IGF.
This has been
clarified many
time.... (In fact even
when some of us wanted
to give a more
substantive role to
the IGF, as part of
CSTG WG on IGF
improvements, some of
those who are now
associated with
representing the IGF
opposed such a role.) <br>
</p>
<p>MAG Chair DOES NOT
represent the IGF in
any way. <br>
</p>
<p>I dont accept such a
representational role.
I will request the CS
members of the MAG to
explain this to me. <br>

colleagues,<br>
<br>
I am writing
to you as
I/the IGF have
been invited
to participate
in the World
Economic Forum
Annual Meeting
in Davos.
This year the
theme is:
"Creating a
Shared Future
in a Fractured
World”.
Note: There
is a guide on
how to
follow/“participate”
in Davos here:
<a
href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/12/how-to-follow-davos-2018/"
id="m_-2458789747517754957m_7348223181357659596m_3972584062568180740yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1516173286591_71994"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.weforum.org/<wbr>agenda/2017/12/how-to-follow-<wbr>davos-2018/</a>
And, there is
an ongoing
stream of
content on
digital
issues,
including an
interesting
interactive
map available
through the
first panel
here: <a
href="https://www.weforum.org/system-initiatives/shaping-the-future-of-digital-economy-and-society/articles"
id="m_-2458789747517754957m_7348223181357659596m_3972584062568180740yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1516173286591_71997"

<br>
In 2017, the
IGF
Secretariat,
the CENB
facilitators,
some DCs, and
I (as IGF MAG
Chair)
participated
in various
World Economic
Forum (WEF)
meetings/conference
calls. Many
were connected
to Access and
their
“Internet For
All” projects,
but others
were connected
to IoT, and
Networks as
Platforms, to
name only a
few. WEF
activities in
relevant areas
(where we were
aware of them)
were flagged
to the NRIs,
DCs, etc. In
addition, for
several years
there has been
a two-way
collaboration
between the
WEF and the
IGF major
policy
initiative
(IGF Policy
Options for
Connecting and
Enabling the
Next
Billion(s)).
<br>
<br>
As mentioned
during
previous MAG
meetings, I
was also asked
to Co-Chair
the
Stewardship
Board for a
WEF Initiative
called
“Digital
Economy and
Society”
(DES). This
Stewardship
Board is
convened
annually
during the
World Economic
Forum Annual
Meeting in
Davos. Per
the WEF this
initiative
provides an
opportunity to
develop a
shared vision
for a
sustainable,
inclusive, and
trustworthy
digital future
and priorities
for
collaborative
action. In
particular,
the initiative
seeks to align
and accelerate
progress
around six
shared global
outcomes:<br>
<br>
1. Access
&
Adoption: All
people
(without
differences in
geography,
gender or
income) can
access and use
the internet<br>
2.
Responsible
Digital
Transformation:
Business,
government and
civil society
leaders act
responsibly
and
competently to
usher in a
sustainable
digital
transformation<br>
3. Fit for
purpose,
informed
governance:
Global,
regional,
national
policies are
informed by
evidence and
well-equipped
to deal with
the
transnational
nature of
digital
connectivity<br>
4. Secure
&
resilient
people,
processes
&
practices: All
individuals,
institutions
and
infrastructure
are resilient
to
vulnerabilities
created by
increasing
digital
connectivity<br>
5. Robust,
interoperable
digital
Identities:
All people can
access and use
integrated,
inclusive,
trusted
digital
identity
regimes that
enhance their
social and
economic well
being<br>
6.
Benefits from
data sharing
while
respecting
privacy:
Individuals
and
institutions
can share data
in ways that
create social
and economic
value while
respecting the
privacy of
fellow digital
citizens<br>
<br>
James Smith,
President
& CEO,
Thomson
Reuters is the
other
Co-Chair, and
together, we
will be
facilitating
the
Stewardship
Board Meeting
at Davos this
year. To the
extent that
there are
activities
that are
aligned and
that you wish
to highlight
we would
welcome
hearing them.
<br>
<br>
I am also
moderating or
speaking at
various panels
during Davos
and will be
reflecting IGF
activities,
value, values
and
principles.
Some of the
sessions:<br>
- Strategic
Outlook:
Digital
Economy<br>
- BroadBand
Commission -
Internet For
All session <br>
- Trustworthy
Data: The
Foundation of
Innovation<br>
<br>
There are many
common topics
of interest
and everyone
is encouraged
to share view
points/submit
questions, so
please see the
link below for
social media
info., etc. <a

<br>
Note: I am
sending this
note to last
years MAG
(noting the
2018 MAG and
MAG Chair are
not yet
formally
constituted).
I am also
asking the
secretariat to
forward this
note to the
NRIs, DCs,
CENB, etc. and
to note this
on the IGF
website in
order to get
the broadest
distribution
possible.<br>
<br>
Very much look
forward to
your
contributions, <br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Lynn<br>
