[bestbits] [Meeting Report]: friday meeting with fadi et all

[Joana Varon]

Dear people,

Please, find attached the report that Laura and I have prepared about the
meeting of the “coalition/dialogue” (it doesnt has a name yet) that
happened last friday, as a result of the meeting with civil society and
Fadi on Thursday. Dear Carlos, please, feel free to add any further
consideration.

Sorry for being late with this, but since Bestbits server was down, in
debates with BestBits steering committee and others colleagues, we have
been trying to sort out what is the best way to report about that meeting
and the one with the Brazilian delegation.

As there is some time sensitiveness, the report of the meeting with Fadi et
all will be posted here, but this is what we found more suitable and will
be important for the next reports and steps:


   - We need to come to an arrangement that strikes the right balance
   between being inclusive and strategic as civil society, for example
   reporting back on the main list, but strategizing on closed lists or
   offlist. Draft working procedures on the wiki reflect your concerns
   relatively well. But will attempt to integrate specific comments on those
   procedures once the server is back up.

My view, and this is my personal view trying to address the concerns raised
during BB meeting, is that the closed list for civil society will use the
widest concept of civil society, or a definition by exclusion, meaning that
all the people in bestbits list that are not strictly government or private
sector will be included. Problems that might come out will be addressed as
they show up, taking into account the goals of besbits. I do think it will
be the only way forward to coordinate all the work we will have in the next
months in a strategic manner concerning both the Brazilian Summit and our
engagement with the coalition/dialogue. If any one have a major opposition
to it, please, let us know.

Otherwise, let's start debating the engagement with this coalition/dialogue
in a closed list?

All the best,

Joana
