[bestbits] IMPORTANT: World Economic Forum and The-Initiative-Formerly-Known-As-NETmundial

[Ian Peter]

Hi Deborah, I can answer this -

We need to put out a call for candidates ( if we are going to) on Friday 
(tomorrow) - no later. This is partly because for the next few days many 
people will be travelling so we do need to get underway and close off 
nominations about September 9-10.

Originally, we were asked to provide final selection of candidates by about 
Wednesday next week - clearly an impossibility. We have negotiated a 
deadline till September 21 to submit names, but will need all that time to 
collate names from various coalitions and make selections.

So really we need to decide whether to participate by tomorrow. - (or 
alternatively begin a selection process while we decide whether we are going 
to engage or not, which would be messy).

I hope this deadline helps to get some comments!

Ian

Hi Jeremy,

The timeline on making a decision on this was not clear to me from
your email. You wrote:

The timetable CSCG is discussing would see us begin a call for
nominations no earlier than Friday – the last day of IGF – to allow
discussion and further clarification before we commence any such process.

I agree that there has not been enough discussion of this (nor time to
do so) but a concrete deadline might encourage this ;)

Best,
Deborah
