SV: [governance] Next IGF consultations

[Kicki Nordström]

Dear Vittoria,  

May I propose we at least prepare a statement on ICT marginalised groups like persons with disabilities, in particular those with information and communication  disabilities. There are means for providing information and communication, but it is often so expensive that it is not reachable for many and exclude almost everyone in developing countries! Taking this into account and combined that fact with the newly adopted UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which you are very aware of I know, it would serve two purposes. 
1. To put a focus on those most marginalised in ICT of all persons
2. To highlight States responsibilities of the commitments in the convention, which address ICT clearly!

Warm regards
Kicki

Ämne: [governance] Next IGF consultations

All,

it's just one month to Feb 13, the first IGF-07 consultation, so perhaps we should start to discuss what do we want to do for that event. Do we want to have a statement?

I think that we could try to draft a statement about one or more of the following matters (additions welcome):
- main subjects for the IGF 2007
- structure and membership of the next IGF-AG
- dynamic coalitions: how they work, what do we do with the outputs etc

What does the caucus think?

Ciao,
