[bestbits] Call for expressions of interest: 1net steering committee

[Ian Peter]

and just to be clear – this is for appointments to 1net steering committee, not for Brazil.  CS will be doing its own nominations for Brazil, not through 1net, but not yet. Despite Adiel’s announcement elsewhere it is confirmed that Brazil has not asked for reps yet or set a deadline. So we can do that later.

5 people need to be appointed, representing all of civil society, for 1net steering.  I am not sure myself, given this is an ongoing initiative quite independent of Brazil, whether we should necessarily  keep all current reps for Brazil on 1net steering. 

Calls have gone out here, in APC, via Diplo, and NCSG. Not sure where the call on IGC list it, I might have missed it but Sala can advise. IN any case please make sure IGC list people who may not be reading here are aware.

Nominations close midnight UTC Monday.

just catching up -

yes that has been discussed and agreed to a couple of days ago. All reps are definitely CS reps, not reps of individual organisations.

Dear all, 

Just to flag that I'd be interested in a 1net steering committee role as well.


And Jeremy, in terms of process, could you maybe clarify though whether the CS coordination group is planning to select people as representatives of a particular network, or simply as CS representatives? I would argue that the latter makes more sense, but it would be good to know what the coordination group has in mind. 


Many thanks, 
Anja

  I am happy to play one of the roles, since I do believe we need consistency and coherency.
  Let me know where I could fit best.

    My understanding from some time back was that we had the following:

    4 (now 3) persons directly liaising with Brazil on the meeting (not through 1net)

    And to fill

    5 civil society slots on the 1net steering committee (recognizing that civil society liaison for the Brazil meeting is as above).  

    And 

    Some number of civil society slots to be filled on some combination of the actual Brazil meeting committees (to be determined although there are suggestions that there should be 2 from civil society for at least two of the committees).

    From my perspective, and to echo a point made by Joana earlier, it would seem to make sense that those liaising with Brazil at the moment should probably be a part of the meeting committees to ensure consistency and coherency.

    As to 1net, it might also make sense for one of the Brazil liaisons to be a part of the 1net civil society steering committee component just to be sure that we have continuity across the various committees/liaisons.

    Finally, I realize that there is quite some debate about what 1net is or is not but I do believe that there is merit to participating and seeing where it leads us - as we have discussed before.  I would also note that there is considerable merit in bringing stakeholders together and to figuring out what pressing IG related issues those stakeholders can find commonality of purpose on and work together to progress.

          I agree that Rafik would be a good choice.

          What I'm not so clear about is why the four Brazilian liaisons should also continue to be de facto representatives in the 1net Steering Committee,
        Anja

        I might have missed it, but I dont remember seeing any proposal to have our 4 Brazilian liaisons to Brazil meeting organising structure also be CS reps on the Steering Committee. 


      That seemed to be what Jeremy proposed in his initial email, hence my response, but I also don't recall there being a broader discussion or agreement on this.  


      Best,
      Anja
