[bestbits] Last day of WTPF - drafting concluding statement

[michael gurstein]

Interesting. I just followed up on Jeremy's invitation. made a comment. and
was subsequently tossed out of the discussion and am now denied access to
making any further comments. Any explanation for this?

 

(BTW, here is my comment.

Without having been able to follow the WTPF discussions in great depth and
also without following the discussion here except recently I'm noting in the
document continuing reference to a "multistakeholder model"... and moreover
to "multistakeholder processes" etc. Can anyone point me to a clear
articulation of what is meant by the "multistakeholder model". Further if we
are to be ascribing so fulsomely to the multistakeholder process should we
not also be asking for some rather clearer articulation of the nature of the
internal processes of the various stakeholders whom we are accepting as
peers in these processes if only to understand the basis from which they are
making their interventions.

Subject: [bestbits] Last day of WTPF - drafting concluding statement

 

A group of us are here in Geneva for the WTPF, including Valeria from APC,
Anja from Internet Democracy Project, Emma and Matthew from CDT, Joana from
FGV, Deborah from Access, Lea and Gene from Global Partners, Wolfgang, Avri,
Bill Drake and I apologise if I have forgotten any others. As you may have
read elsewhere, the draft opinions for the WTPF were adopted with almost no
changes, and a late proposed opinion by Brazil on operationalising the role
of governments in Internet governance, was discussed but in the end not
agreed, and may go to the CWG-Internet for further action. 

 

Today we will have the opportunity to deliver a closing statement at the
plenary.  Because of the need for this to respond to the event as it
developed, this has been written on the fly over lunchtime today (with
Matthew taking the lead), so I hope you will understand the limitations that
we are operating under here.  But if you are online now and would like a
link to view and edit the document, please email myself or Matthew
<mshears at cdt.org> and we will send you the link to a Google Doc.  I won't
paste the text here simply because it is still changing as we speak, and it
would become inaccurate within just a few minutes.
