AW: [governance] IGF workshops

[vcretu at cmb.md]

Greetings!
I support Milton's arguments and I especially agree with the fact that
involvement of developing country into the The Future of ICANN: After the
JPA, What? is mandatory. Why? - first of all because developing countries
should understand and be aware of the role ICANN plays and will play and
how that role might affect/impact the developments of the developing
countries. The question is what stakeholder we think should be most
appropriate to invite: the Government, Business Sector, Civil society or
international community repres. present in a developing country???

I also support Wolfgang's 5th proposal on the Consumer/user rights.
Wolfgang hope you feel better soon after the operation!

Regards from a rainy Moldova,
Veronica

>> 3. A Rights Agenda for Internet Governance
>
> I strongly support the idea of this workshop and believe in its
> potential value. Although there were disagreements aired on the issues
> it will raise, the long and substantive discussion proves that RAIG is
> precisely the kind of topic that needs to be "worked out" in a
> "work"shop. My main concern would be that the organizers of this panel
> NOT pretend that there is a unified conception of rights underlying our
> approach to the Internet, and especially that we do not pretend that
> there is a unified civil society position. I would ask this organizing
> group to pay careful attention to finding and including ideologically
> diverse viewpoints on the panel. Understand also that the highly diverse
> views will require careful time management, if one is to achieve full
> engagement.

>> 4. The role and mandate of the IGF
>>
>
> Strongly support the idea; the level of realization here seems less
> developed, no list of sponsors or invited speakers. However, the
> longstanding support for this concept within IGC, going back to last
> year or even before, makes it a no-brainer. I would ask the organizers
> to remove the word "overreaching" from the phrase "...contain the
> overreaching ambitions of those who would transform it..." near the end,
> as it seems less than impartial.
