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

[David Souter]

Hi:

Was Heather Creech on the list of invitees?  If not, I think she'd be a useful addition.  (I'm not sure if she's planning to be in Geneva, but she usually attends, and I know Don MacLean won't be there this time.)

>  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.
