Remote participation plans Re: [OCDC] Re: [governance] Do we need a MAG?

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I just wanted to point out a correction to Adam's original remark and  
hence to Jeremy's comment n it.

There never was a decision in Secretariat, nor any action, to remove   
the OCDC or to silence it in any way.  Many of the members of the  
group did quit at one point, but as you will notice, the OCDC is still  
listed on the IGF's DC page: http://www.intgovforum.org/Dynamic%20Coalitions.php 
  . Ie. "the MAG and Secretariat never stepped in."  I would note that  
there have not been any postings in the OCDC (http://igf-online.net)  
other then from Jeremy in a while.

To my knowledge, neither the OCDC nor the "IGF Remote Participation  
Working Group" mentioned by Ginger, have been barred from comment at  
any meeting. In fact the OCDC made a report in Rio which, if I recall,  
Jeremy read out  http://www.intgovforum.org/Rio_Meeting/IGF2-ReportingBack-15NOV07.txt 
, and comments from the IGF Remote Participation WG were read out in  
Geneva at the last consultations.

Ginger's group, btw, has not yet asked to be listed as one of the  
DCs.  It is my assumption that if this group wishes to be listed as  
one of the DCs, it only needs to send information, in the same format  
as the other DCs, to the IGF office with the request.

a.
