[governance] Re: Round II

[Izumi AIZU]

Argentina
A few participation of other stakeholders – decision be made by member states.

Greece
Comment on – Egypt and Mozambique
 Governments are observers – same as other stakeholders
 Egypt – we were going around circles, but try find the modality to
include other stakeholders in realistic manner
Leaving little time to other stakeholders if they were put at the end.
Find solution.

Israel
Wanted to hear some Civil society members who are in the room.
We are hear for two ours to sit and do dialogues – member states
talking only – but this is not dialogue. We are establishing working
group. Open and inclusive.
We need to progress as world progress.

South Africa
ICC is not government, they took the floor.
So it was not dominated by governments!
<Laughter>
We have resolution. It is clear as EU colleague outlined.
Para 40 – clear –
Going against UN principle
Move forward
We have decided that there is inter-governmental WG
South Africa participated from the day one of IGF. So we don’t want to
hear that governments don’t know what they are talking about.
Equal footing, no in the UN fora, yes, for IGF.

US
Refreshed by the level of discussion
Member states have dominated the conversation until now.
ECOSOC resolution –very important document.
IGF be extended for five years.
 Para 17 – second commission - WG
US to support UK, Chile, Portugal and others – equal footing for other
stakeholders
We are in a unique situation in CSTD – to embrace open manner a
process from WSIS, embodied in Tunis Agenda- five year of success and
extended
So CSTD WG, that has been requested – has unique hybrid condition to work with.
As Egyptian, and South Africa colleague said –
We have to be creative
Bit more boldly into new dimensions.
How CSTD  - open fashin WSIS
Real room for imagination and innovation in the modality

India
Moving into circles, but encouraged by SA, and USA.
We have to focus on the substance, not the form.
Innovative and creative thing.
This will not happen until and beyond the form of composition.
Reality – UN rules do not allow non-governmental actors to say – in
this setting.
ECOSOC 2010/226
 Without pregedious to established rules and procedures– to extend
invitation civil society – until 2011
NGOs accredited by ECOSOC – to sit as observers to public meetings
As India, we have supported vibrant multi-stakeholder
But today, we are sitting inside CSTD, UN rules to be applied
WGIG – participation of this group, by members of individual capacity
This will put precedents in serious consequences
The Rules of UN has to be respected

France
France support fully balanced all stakeholders

UNESCO
Highlighted that Internet is an important enabler – to enhance free
flow of information
Strong supporter of IGF,
Important achievements made
Participation – require no accreditation
Non-negotiating nature
Fundamental role of MAG in insuring
UNESCO strongly support to maintain essential achievements
- how to raise interest – in particular, developing countries governments
- all stakeholder – be insured

APC
Endorse what Tunisa said.
This is a short-term group to come up with reports,
Not a decision making body.
WG made up of individuals. Just like WGIG.
Consideration and accountability CSTD has to take into consideration.
 People-centered development


Internet Society

IGC
Izumi made the intervention

Nominet
Martin Boyle
Explaining WGIG
It made recommendations.
Clear parallel to UNSG creating WGIG and CSTD creating WG.

ICANN
Echo what has been said in relation to WSIS, necessity to continue the
same spirit in composition for WG.
