I have been nominated for the "security" session, and if I end up there, I
won't be speaking on anyone's behalf, sorry. If this would be so, I would
need a mandate on substance etc. which is not the case.
Everybody who has been involed in the Internet Governance Caucus a bit
longer knows that I have actively participated in the privacy & security
discussions in WSIS from early 2003 on. The caucus positions on privacy
and security are well documented in various submissions and papers, and
mostly, they were drafted by me or my colleagues from the privacy&security
working group. If this is not enough for a minimal level of trust, I am
really sorry.

I also don't intend to prepare a "speech" or something like that in
advance, as the format of the main sessions will more be like an
interactive roundtable. If anyone has specific points he or she wants to
be raised, this can of course be discusses here or send to me privately.
But if I really raise them will depend on the flow of the discussion on
the panel. The same applies to points I will want to raise myself.

By the way: I have absolutely no mandate from my university, it is just my
affiliation. Nor do I have a mandate from any other organization.
Actually, this is an interesting case compared to other policy fields -
the role of individuals is much bigger in internet governance policy
processes.

Best, Ralf
