[governance] Action on Enhanced Cooperation, please

[yehudakatz at mailinator.com]

That’s correct Adam, but a little known secret is that the Secretary-General
also created a Sister Group: the Working Group on Constitutional Internet
Governance (WGCIG) at the request of the first phase of the Summit, in Geneva
in 2003.

The third paragraph in your cited page makes no mention of this:
 
http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2006/sgsm10366.doc.htm> circa 02/03/2006
… “The Secretariat will be headed by Markus Kummer, who has been the Executive
Coordinator of the Secretariat of the Working Group on Internet Governance,
which was established by the Secretary-General at the request of the first
phase of the Summit, in Geneva in 2003.  The first meeting of the Forum is
expected to take place later this year in Athens.” …


However, the forth paragraph eludes-too the Secretary-General’s arrangement for
the WGCIG through this process; … “has also decided to ask Mr. Desai to consult
informally on how to start a process aimed at enhancing cooperation on
international public policy issues related to the Internet.” …

Paragraph four:
… “On a separate issue, the Secretary-General has also decided to ask Mr. Desai
to consult informally on how to start a process aimed at enhancing cooperation
on international public policy issues related to the Internet.	The Summit had
requested the Secretary-General to start such a process.” …

Indeed many things have transpired between the Geneva in 2003 and the cited
press release in 02/03/06 (approximately 3yrs have transpired).

>From all of my search-observations, the WGCIG (.com/.net/.org) seems to be
ahead of the game.
