[governance] preparations for prepcom 3 in tunis

[Adam Peake]

Hi,

As I think everyone knows, prepcom 3 will resume in Tunis, November 
13-15.  Three days to finish chapter 3.  We need to begin preparing.

The final draft of the chapter from Geneva is online 
<http://www.itu.int/wsis/documents/doc_multi.asp?lang=en&id=2130|0>

All information about prepcom 3, past and resumed, including links to 
all contributions is here 
<http://www.itu.int/wsis/preparatory2/pc3/index.html>

I've heard that discussion on paragraphs marked agreed (not 
necessarily agreed by observers...) will not be re-opened. This 
should be confirmed early next week. While governments probably do 
not want to re-open the agreed paragraphs, there is language that's 
problematic.  Do we want to comment on any of the "agreed" text?  If 
we do, then I think it should be on very specific language, not whole 
paragraphs.

The open sections of the chapter are:

* Public policy issues relevant to Internet governance (sub section 
of 10 paragraphs)
* cybercrime (one paragraph)
* Internet security (one paragraph)
* Interconnection costs for LDCs (one sub-paragraph)
* Follow-up and possible future arrangements (i.e. oversight, the 
forum, and all the stuff that's hard to agree.)

Seems we have three things to do:

1.)  make our case for being included in the resumed sessions 
sub-committee A when it meets in plenary and in drafting groups.  The 
situation is not clear. Charles Geiger's said that the room to be 
used for the prepcom would be relatively small (perhaps less than 400 
people) so delegations would be limited in number. He also said no 
decision had been reached on allowing observers into drafting groups.

We should consider re-writing the protest statement Avri read in 
Geneva (attached "AD-protest-Statement-05-09-28")  We are expecting 
to hear more about how process for the Tunis prepcom next week.

If we have a limited number of passes into the prepcom, we need to 
think about how to allocate them (it's a working session.) Should 
also make sure that if space is limited then there are overflow rooms 
where people can follow the discussions remotely on an internal TV 
broadcast (has been done in other prepcoms) and that there is 
webcasting.

2.) respond to the chairs current draft of chapter 3. We made a 
number of statements relevant to the open sections of the chapter 
during the last prepcom.  These statements were put together quickly 
in Geneva and I know people had comments and suggested improvements. 
I have attached copies of what I think are the main statements (hope 
I've note missed any?), please read and comment.  If you disagree 
with something please say why and try to provide new text.  Vittorio 
has put all the statements we've been able to find online, see 
<http://www.net-gov.org/docs.php>

3.) Write our own statement.  Jeanette has suggested it might have 3 
parts: forum, oversight, development.  Work on a statement could go 
together with work on the chair's paper.

Comments on above please.

Thanks,

Adam
