I’m going to try and bring in Article 19 on his – maybe we could all get together in London before Xmas?

Most of our recent discussion has been about processes for nominating people to different steering groups.

 

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.

      

       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 1, 2014.
