[governance] RE: [bestbits] Call for Transparency Process for 1Net

[michael gurstein]

Tks Anja. I'll look forward to hearing back concerning the set of questions
that I posed either from you or directly from responsible others in 1Net.

 

It would be good to put this matter to rest sooner rather than later.

Hi Michael and all,

Regarding the summary and forum/website, I am happy to find out more about
how they were financed. I can share with you already that both were shared
with the 1net SC before they were shared with the larger list. To my
knowledge there was little involvement of the SC in their conceptualisation
until after their launch. The SC has since been making suggestions on how to
improve both, and this is being worked on now (for example, there have been
requests by many to try and provide functionality that would allow a user to
interact with the forum completely through email, in which case for that
particular user the experience would actually not be very different than it
is now). I foresee that these will continue to evolve over the weeks to
come. 

Hope this is helpful, and I'll get back to you as soon as I find out more.

Best,
Anja

A simple detailed reply (1-2 hours max) to my initial request would be more
than sufficient to stem any further debate on the internal functioning of
1Net (certainly by myself). 

 

My question is why those who have wasted far more of their (and my time) in
arguing that such is unnecessary are not directing their efforts toward 1Net
to have them stop this discussion immediately through a useful response.

Precisely what are people afraid of in insisting that 1Net, a formation that
was interposed and interposed itself between "CS" and the Brazil meeting,
make transparent its decision making processes including in the crucial
areas of financial supports and expenditures and decisions as to inclusions
and exclusions.  

 

            I am not afraid at all of 1Net increasing its transparency and
accountability mechanisms - on the contrary, that would clearly be a
positive outcome. But I am quite afraid that we will spend a much larger
amount of time debating the internal functioning of 1net, which at this
point is largely a mechanism for dealing with administrative issues to do
with a single event, rather than focussing on the substantive policy
outcomes of that, and future, events. 

            Regards
