[governance] OC meetings in Geneva May 10 and 11 IGC statement?

[Eric Dierker]

I reread this briefing/statement from the UN. I do not see how anything could be more clear.
What is this increased process that Parminder is speaking of? I could maybe see some more clarity here like: More step by step process for debate and submission of matters to be debated. And, doing away with this constant call for consensus and group statements. Clearly we are mandated to discuss and broaden understanding -- not make platforms and propose agendas.
 
".....have no involvement in day-to-day or technical operations of the Internet. It
is a place where Governments, civil society, the private sector and international organizations
discuss both the technical underpinnings of the Internet and important questions of economic and
social development. They share their insights and achievements. Above all, they build a common
understanding of the Internet’s great potential as well as the many risks and challenges in its
governance."

Hi Parminder and all,
Could we have ideas and positions on this possibility? From MAG members and non-MAG members, please?

Thanks, gp

BTW, the MAG meeting on the 12th will consider/ assess MAG's own role in the IGF's process. A statement for that can perhaps be attempted. parminder

Hi,

My reference to the Geneva OC is for the Open Consultation planning meetings for the IGF (Internet Governance Forum) 2010 in Vilnius. From the IGF website:

The Preparatory Process The next meeting will be held as a planning meeting open to all interested stakeholders and will take place on 10-11 May 2010. Meeting schedule: 10-13 and 15-18 hours.
Registration will be opened shortly. 

The planning meeting will be followed by a MAG meeting on 12 May 2010.

Ginger,
 
Please link us up to what you are talking about and the "request" "invitation" for such a statement.

Hi everyone,

I expect to be at the Geneva OC meetings May 10th and 11th, to act as onsite remote moderator (to present any substantive remote comments or questions), and to represent the IGC.

While discussions have moved forward on workshop proposals, I have not seen any concrete suggestions for an IGC statement. Are there points the IGC membership would like to make? Are there affiliated (IRP, Gender, etc.) groups who are making statements that the IGC should support? Supporting actions of our members is one function that we have not exercised fully imho. However to do so, we need someone from the group to ask for IGC support, and to have consensus from the list.

As coordinators, Jeremy and I cannot take action for the IGC unless we know what the members want done/said, so that we represent the members of the IGC. 

Please let us know what you would like the IGC to 'do' at the upcoming OC.

Thanks! Regards, Ginger
