[governance] Requesting Comments for an Internet Governance Development Agenda from Civil Society

[Eric Dierker]

Not a good starting point here.  I am from a developed nation.  All my work has been for developing nations.  My wife is from a developing nation.  What makes you think that ones geographic location determines their perspective on the net.
 
The US is developed -- Yet I worked with some in Northeastern Arizona on the Navajo Indian reservation that have exactly the same issues as those of the lower Mekong or Puebla Mexico.  Your distinctions need to be retooled.

Dear Friends,

As you know that I have been participating physically in IGF
mainstream activities only recently and I wanted to understand and
build up consensus on a Development Agenda with regards to Internet
Governance through various interventions. My understanding of the
topic may vary due to the fact that I belong to the developing world
and we see the subject of a developing agenda a bit differently from
the developed world perspective.

I have occasionally referred to the possibility of such a development
agenda as "Internet Governance for Development" or "IG4D". I took this
perception to the Open Consultations in Geneva earlier this year in
May. I would like to request all of you to share your comments and
perspectives on your perception of a development agenda with regards
to Internet Governance. In the past, I have learnt a great deal from
IT For Change and APC's work and would like to learn more from the
grass roots and members of the IGC.

I await your comments. I will produce something productive for sharing
at the IGF consultations and meetings respectively.

-- 
Regards.
