[governance] Draft IGC statement on Wikileaks

[Jeremy Malcolm]

I have put together a draft statement on Wikileaks for discussion.  I think it reads more like a blog post or an op-ed, but perhaps that's not a bad thing - we could look to publish it as one, either in a newspaper or a high-profile online forum like CircleID (and cross-post widely).

For some time now, the coordinators have been looking for a more effective way for the caucus to collaborate on the drafting of statements.  Until now this has been done by posting the statement to the list, receiving comments, and re-posting an updated version every few days.  Sometimes emails cross, and sometimes comments are missed.  We want to find a better way.

My experiment with a new system to supplement the mailing list for drafting of statements may be found at http://igf-online.net/digress.it/.  Please go there to read the draft statement on Wikileaks and to add your comments (instructions for doing so are on the site).

If this goes well, we will try to integrate this facility into our main Web site in the future, together with other facilities from http://igf-online.net such as the survey tool.
