Not really, my concern is more that the informality of the coalitions
makes them unaccountable to the IGF at large. However as per my
intervention, we can address this, and turn them into working groups in
all but name, by:
(a) agreeing on some criteria pursuant to which they can be accredited
(not sure if this is an appropriate word, what do others think?) for
conformity to standards of openness to multi-stakeholder participation,
transparency and internal operation by consensus; and
(b) allowing the output of an accredited dynamic coalition to be put to
the IGF at large to be considered and, potentially, ratified and adopted
by consensus (through some also yet undefined process).
These are to some extent independent, so (a) (which Nitin already seems
agreeable to) can be put in place first, and (b) brought in later
after things are running smoothly. But we need to have a dialogue about
what the criteria in (a) should be.
I'm considering where to take things from here, but I'm open to
suggestions. I would be happy to draft a list of criteria, develop a
rough consensus on it here and on the plenary at intgovforum.org mailing
list, and then ask Adam or someone to put it in front of the Advisory
Group. An alternative is that a Dynamic Coalitions Dynamic Coalition
could be formed to develop the draft criteria.
