[governance] non-profit org

[Jeanette Hofmann]

Yes, it would be very good to found a non profit for civil society to 
self-organize around Internet Governance related topics in a wider 
sense.  I can think of two different models (and some variations in 
between):
1. An umbrella organization that provides some legal structure and 
procedures for already existing organizations or networks such as the IG 
caucus and other WSIS related working groups willing to carry on, but 
also non WSIS related entities that are interested in building an 
independent, international civil society organization. Perhaps NCUC, 
EDRI or even ALAC would be interested in participating.

2. A new NGO as a formalized version of the IG caucus' open structure, 
which develops a political agenda for the IG forum (and perhaps further 
IG related processes such as ICANN.

Both versions require considerable commitment and some funding.
