[governance] What a mess!

Dear Meryem (and all) :

In the mail sent on 25 March - in which I was seeking advise on the need of
a formal proposal on capacity building - I said, I was thinking about
developing one, on behalf notably of the African Civil Society. And the
proposal was also commented by some ACS people. I didn't have a clear idea
of what would happen. Probably that the absence of formal coordinators here
doesn't facilitate matters. It was the same spirit for Mawaki's proposals. I
think/hope problems regarding the submission of themes are not really
damageable. The nomination of people in the MAG seems more critical and I
think we are already discussing about it.

Have a good day

Ken L

Objet : [governance] What a mess!

Sorry to bother you again but I've now found that proposals sent by
Robert are now included (for those which weren't already sent by
their proponents, as submissions from their authors (or, in the case
of Mawaki and Ken, by the African CS).
The 8 proposals sent by Robert are presented on IGF website as
described below.

Questions and comments:
1/ this means that the governance caucus appears NOWHERE, and has NOT
A SINGLE proposal
2/ How it comes that Mawaki's two proposals have been sent (before
Robert sends them) by the African CS proposal, Mawaki being not
named? Mawaki has never told us this, which could have been a helpful
information: his proposals were to be sent by another WSIS CS
constituency, and not by the governance caucus
3/ Same applies for Ken's proposal (sent later on, and presented as
the second submission by the African CS constituency, Ken being not
named.

Here is what one can found on the IGF website, regarding the 8
proposals sent by Robert:
