[governance] Invitation: May 13th: Public Participation Meeting

[karen banks]

Hi everyone

I realise that there is quite some demand for the lunchtime slot May 
13th, but I hope some of the caucus members will be able to join APC, 
the COE and UNECE in the next consultation on:

"A Code of good practice on public participation, access to 
information and transparency in Internet governance"

The meeting will take place in Salle VII, Palais des Nations, Geneva, 
during lunch session of May 13th. Lunch will be provided.

The meeting will provide a good enviroment for raising some concerns 
in relation to the EC proposal and JPA which have been discussed on 
the list recently.

Attached is a letter of invitation, agenda and a summary of David 
Souter's second research report which will form the basis of 
presentation and discussion during the meeting.

The report reviews the governance, information and participation 
practices of twelve "entities" which are primarily or extensively 
concerned with internet governance; includes assessments of the 
similarities among and differences between them in five main areas 
and identifies significant tensions and challenges to information and 
participation practice which are posed by the changing nature of the 
internet. These challenges are discussed in some depth, but are 
summarised in the form of questions for discussion between the 
project and the internet governance community.

The report suggests that these questions could form the basis for 
discussion about appropriate principles for information and 
participation in the internet.

We hope you can join us for the meeting and look forward to seeing 
those of you who will be in Geneva, next week.
