[governance] IGC meeting at the IGF

[jlfullsack]

Dear Parminder 

The second point you are proposing seems very accurate for me. The ITU "World Telecommunication Policy Forum on Telecommunications" is scheduled in April next year. The "Informal Expert Group" created by a decision of the ITU Council, hold so far two meetings (last one one week ago in Geneva) for preparing this event. It is composed of 67 member states represnttativs and of 18 sector members. Unless to say that there are NO CS members in that body (we are at ITU, folks !).

It would be therefore necessary to establish contacts with this group for submitting it the most relevant conclusions of the 3rd IGF, as inputs to the World Forum, but only as far as they are supported by the CS organisations concerned. May be that an "informal CS working group" on ITU issues (i.a. reforming the ITU and CS inclusion, role of the ITU in Internet governance) will be established in the meantime and will be able for submitting some concrete proposals before this ITU event.

All the best
Jean-Louis fullsack

  Dear All

   

  As mentioned earlier, IGC members attending the IGF will meet today from 1830 to 2030, in Rooms 1.03 and 1.04 combined (HICC 1st floor), the same place where Giganet meeting is taking is place. 

   

  Please let us know if  you want anything in particular to be taken up at the meeting. 

   

  As an IGC member I propose the following three items for the agenda

   

    1.. IGC organizational issues - elections etc. Also, whether, and if so, how, a funding proposal for the IGC has to be explored (as discussed earlier on the list) 
    2.. Strategy to engage with ITU, especially with regard to the forthcoming ITU policy forum.   
    3.. At IGF, Hyderabad, how to push the agenda of seeking to have 'rights and the Internet' or  a 'rights based approach to IG' as the over-arching theme for IGF, Egypt. 
   

  Pl add other issues you want to be taken up.

   

  Thanks.

   

  Parminder
