[bestbits] Joint civil society endorsements for London meeting of High-Level Panel

Fri Nov 29 08:40:57 EST 2013

Agree, thanks Nnenna and Marianne. I've informed the other networks that due to problems with the covering letter and lack of time to adequately address them, we should forward the nominees without the letter.

>>> In any case, just in case it wasn't in jest: I do not remember anyone ever claiming that the panel was a 1net panel. It was very clear that it emerged out of ICANN, and though some who are involved in 1net might have been consulted on it to a greater extent than others, that doesn't change this fundamental fact. The letter thus confuses issues, and by doing so, is unnecessarily antagonistic. More importantly, it therefore also gives the panel a weight that not all on this list (and on the IGC list, as far as I could see) feel it deserves - in fact, some are quite clear it does not, and the panel thus should not be sanctified in ways that have not been agreed on.

>>> There are also a few strange terms being used in the letter. As far as I know, the panel was never named the "CEO's High Level Panel". Also, if someone could guide me to a space where I can find out more about "multi-equal-stakeholderism" and its origins, I'd be grateful - first time I hear about this.
