[governance] IGC

[Eric Dierker]

Both these models make sense.  Personal investment is a huge psychological field of study -- because it is very time proven and fairly accurate for a social science.  When we invest time, energy or funds or our hearts we are far more likely to commit to success.
 
Any funding source that is primarily interested in the internal structure of IGC related groups would seem to be the best shot at non-interference with external focused discussion and "papers".  I would hope that some concerns regarding the governance of the group most involved with IT governance would be attractive for structural focused contribution.

Further clarification ... my suggestions regarding Member contributions should not be read as dues or fees - but rather, voluntary donations as per the successful Wikipedia model. In other words, if you want to and can, feel free - donate as little or as much as you want - no strings attached. If don't want to, or can't, no stress.


With respect to funding for the IGC directly from, for example, the UNOG (IGF Secretariat) I do personally think that funding of this nature would help better structure the IGC and afford it the ability to perhaps consider implementation of a small project or two which will treat with, 


"Collaborate with other stakeholders in the implementation of agreed projects and policies towards better Internet governance." (source: IGC Charter)


for example. 


Best,


Tracy

I do like Tracy's (and Katitza's) basic idea of a more organized, possibly funded IGC. Ian has proposed this possibility several time, but we have not yet found a workable structure for this. I think this discussion is a good way to explore options.




Short clarification: I did not talked about the possible funded IGC. Jacqueline also addressed very good points.



Best,
Katitza
