[governance] Civil & Political Entitlements, and a Declaration of Religion

[Eric Dierker]

Very odd that you would devote so much to what it is not  --  but never really say what it is.
 
May I be so bold as to trepidatiously suggest you post these;  (oops, just did)
 
To be sure we know we operate under UN WSIS principles and context; http://www.itu.int/wsis/docs/geneva/official/dop.html
And to understand the mission of this list, and to remember our equality:
http://www.igcaucus.org/    
 
Mission
The mission of the Internet Governance Caucus (IGC) is to provide a forum for discussion, advocacy, action, and for representation of civil society contributions in Internet governance processes. The caucus intends to provide an open and effective forum for civil society to share opinion, policy options and expertise on Internet governance issues, and to provide a mechanism for coordination of advocacy to enhance the utilization and influence of Civil Society (CS) and the IGC in relevant policy processes.
 
Membership
The members of the IGC are individuals, acting in personal capacity, who subscribe to the charter of the caucus. All members are equal and have the same rights and duties.

with great trepidation of being drawn into the comic relief, i feel i need to point something out:

this is _not_ an IGF work list.
this is _not_ a UN work list as someone else mentioned in another email
this is _not_ an ICANN complaint list as seems so often the case lately

this is the Internet Governance Caucus work list
the IGC is a civil society group focused on Internet Governance that began during WSIS.
the IGC is a self formed bottom-up organization that developed its character and its rules over many years of devoted participation by many people

many of those who formed it originally (i was not among them, but they have welcomed me and treated me well) are still with it .
(though they are very silent recently for some reason.)

so while it may discuss what goes on in the IGF or the UN or ICANN or the ITU or WIPO or OECD or any other esteemed fora where Internet governance is discussed or done, the IGC is not of those places or of those organizations, just interested in them and interested in contributing in them.

cheers

a.

ps. i never filter anybody, though sometimes i do read the list with fear and trepidation.
