[bestbits] Brazil summit

[michael gurstein]

I`m interested in both as well although I would probably look to off-load
some of this onto appropriate folks in the Community Informatics network.

Most of our recent discussion has been about processes for nominating people

I'm interested in the substantive contributions we might make to the summit
itself.

 

Assuming the summit addresses high level principles (as prefigured in
President Rouseff's speech to the UNGA) and proposals for internet
governance, I am interested in working on the following:

 

.         Preparing a submission on reforming internet governance that keep
the dispersed structure and multi-stakeholder participation (which is likely
to include ideas on internationalising ICANN and strengthening the IGF)

.         Preparing a submission on the first high level principle dealing
with free expression, privacy etc.  Note that I'm concerned that privacy
protections, if badly expressed, could restrict freedom of expression unduly
so I'll be looking to assert ICCPR standards on free expression.

 

I d  I doubt that a consensus across the whole of the BB platform is
possible on these issues, judging by exchanges over the last few months and
I'm assuming that different groups will make submissions.  So at this stage
I'm asking if anyone would be interested in joining an offlist group to put
together submissions along these lines.


Yes, I am.  And contributing to item 2.

 

I am also interested.  And we would like to contribute to both items.

       Reminding you of the proposed work plan - I'm volunteering for item 3
and to contribute to item 2.

 

       OUTPUTS

1.	Recommendation on process issues for the conference (remote
participation, stakeholder representation and selection)
2.	Substantive input on universal Internet principles (based on Marco
Civil and/or other existing principles documents).
3.	Substantive input on an institutional framework for multistakeholder
Internet governance including:

1.	Internationalisation of ICANN (based on existing work done by
Internet Governance Project and/or others).
2.	Orphan issues (based on existing proposals put before the WGEC and
the recommendations of the Correspondence Group).


TIMELINE

1.	Gather volunteers to lead the work by end of November.
2.	First drafts for internal feedback on this list by December 31.
3.	Feedback from main list by January 31.
4.	Recommendations submitted to Brazil and/or other organisers by March
