[governance] Fwd: ICC BASIS feedback document on IGF Athens

[William Drake]

Hi Adam,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.  There are a number of points in
the ICC doc on which it's easy to agree---assuming we basically wish the IGF
to remain as it has become. If on the other hand there is still a desire for
it to be more than a conference venue for some interesting conversations,
per previously adopted caucus positions, then the ICC vision would seem to
be a bit different.

Given that the caucus lacks two of the ICC's facilitative attributes (paid
staff, fairly consistent preferences among members) and our difficulties
reaching agreement post-WSIS, it's not obvious that we could come up with a
parallel contribution to the stock taking.  But it would be good to hear
from our coordinators and others as to whether there's interest in trying
(which could end up being a first test of the charter's decision making
procedures---might need the appeals team etc).  If there is, presumably it'd
need to be submitted at least a week prior to the event if there were to be
any chance of it being read...

Best,

Bill
