[governance] Upcoming OC meeting in Geneva May 13: IGC agenda?

[Kabani]

Ginger,

Since some of us are not travelling to Geneva, kindly if possible all the
event that takes place should have remote participation via Internet so we
can also participate and give our input. Perhaps, this was done last year as
well in open consultation and MAG members have access to remote
participation.

Thanks & Regards


Sincerely


Asif Kabani

> Hello everyone,

> I will be attending the Open Consultation meeting in Geneva on May 13th.

> Is there anything that you (members) want addressed at the meeting, besides
> the issue of Internet rights and principles as a major theme for the IGF
> 2009, as stated in our previous consensus:
>
> The Internet Governance Caucus notes the statement from the Programme
> Paper:
>
> "...Some favoured the inclusion of 'Internet rights and principles' as a
> cross-cutting theme". This concurs with the widespread support for this
> concept from various stakeholder groups at the February open consultations.
>
> However we are concerned at the proposal to exclude it as a theme this year
> on the grounds that there is "no established definition of this theme and
> that therefore it should not be discussed at the Sharm El Sheikh meeting."
>
> We are surprised by this reasoning for exclusion and request that the MAG
> revisit this subject given the wide support which has been expressed. Given
> that these matters are specifically contained in the Tunis Agenda (paras 70
> and 42) we do not see lack of definition as a reason for exclusion. However,
> if it is not possible to include this concept until it is defined within the
> IGF, we ask that the IGF 2009 include a prominent plenary space to establish
> this definition, in preparation for more comprehensive discussions in future
> debates and meetings.
>
> If there is, we should be finalizing this now. Anyone?
