[governance] WG: Statement

["Kleinwächter, Wolfgang"]

Hi List
 
here is my statement for the Friday Consultations. I am unable to come to Geneva. I am with the Futuere Internet Assembly (FIA) of the EU in Gent, Belgium, where I am involved in a workhop on the Internet of Things. However I want to make my voice heard in the 17th December UNCSTD consultations. I hope the organizers will find a way to put this in record.
 
BTW, I did send an e-Mail to the 17 members of the UNCSTD who participated in the December 6 meeting and asked them the following three questions:
 
"Dear  member of the UNCSTD, 
 
I would be thankful if you could answer the three following questions with regard to the decision by the UNCSTD to launch an intergovernmental WG on the IGF improvement:
  
1. Did you previously participate in the Annual IGF or its open Consultations in Geneva and if yes, in how many events you participated?
 
2. Did the definition of Internet Governance, as ratified by the heads of States in the Tunis Agenda during the 2nd UN World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in November 2005 guide your decision to establish an intergovernmental working group on the IGF improvement?    
 
3. Where do you see the extra value an intergovernmental working group brings to the process compared to a multistakeholder working group? 
 
I thank you for your effort
 
Prof. Wolfgang Kleinwaechter

Lets wait and see if somebody will reply
 
Best wishes
