[governance] AW: IGF Improvement

[Lisa Horner]

Just wanted to add a quick note in favour of a joint doc.  So many different people have made public statements about their support of the IGF in terms of its multi-stakeholder structure and form, that I'm sure we could get good support for a joint statement.......

Best,
Lisa

For any useful purpose, I can confirm that this is not in conformity with either the letter or the spirit of the resolution drafted in the CSTD in May, then endorsed in July at Ecosoc (and later in the GA if I am not mistaken).

In addition, this should NOT be a decision by the CSTD bureau. This group is NOT a CSTD group, it is a group that the CHAIR of the CSTD has to convene, "in an open and inclusive manner".

These formulations had been chosen on purpose.

Non-participation is the way forward but only if significant governments go along. Fallback process could be merely to have a consultation process open to all stakeholders.

Joint document would be good, between IGC, Basis, ISOC, but also governments, in particular in the European Union I suppose.

The decision was made in a CSTD bureau meeting yesterday at a late hour when only a limited number of governments where in the room. Only a very small group of governments, including Portugal and Switzerland, defended the multistakeholder model but the majority of the CSTD members in the room argued that it would be better for the process if the governments can discuss improvement - based on the input of the various stakeholders - among themselves.

We have to wait until the official announcement.

First, let's confirm that rumor.
