[governance] Draft of Chairman's paper

[Lee W McKnight]

Avri,

There is an issue here which struck me especially at this 3rd IGF.

You did exactly the right thing to get even a rough draft out quick, rather than waiting for it to be perfect. Thanks.

Why? Well those govt reps which do make it to an IGF,  are expected to report back to their own govts asap on 'what happened.' And they can;t do that very well without early draft summaries, since the IGF is too sprawling for most govt delegations to cover all the simultaneous events, well. Or even a fraction.

In other words, we'd all be doing those govt folks especially a a favor if we followed your practice and got our reports/summaries out as fast as possible. Of course could help the rest of us too. Errors can be corrected later, sharing a draft is a favor.

Now I just need to practice what I'm preaching, and you're doing, for the 'IGF Role and Mandate' workshop report...soon come!

Lee

Jeffrey,

I usually refrain from responding to your email.  but I am living  
dangerously today so here goes.

A chairman's report is usually not submitted for public review.  If t  
were it would not be a chairman's report but a group report.

But in case it were to be submitted for review by the body politic,  
which to the best of my knowledge it is not, wouldn't it have to be  
published as a draft first?

If i have any sense i will press delete instead of send.
If it was received by the list then i don't have any sense and this  
message can be safely ignored.

cheers,

avri

reminder: i speak for no one
