[governance] Thanks to Izumi

[Shahzad Ahmad]

Izumi have been phenomenal in keeping the whole caucus updated and informed on the developments almost in real time. Thanks Izumi.

 

Yours is a fantastic idea Rafik,

 

Will suggest that IGC members may like to agree on a common hashtag (smaller in words) and then also inform other stakeholders about it. So people privileged to physically attend important IG events can tweet live. 

 

We have tried live tweeting for a few events and it has been very useful. It actually helps develop a good account of the whole proceedings in the end. Once the hashtag is agreed all of us can help to propagate it widely.

 

Just to give an example, all the tweets around Internet freedom, censorship and blocking are archived at #netfreedom J

 

Best wishes and regards

 

Shahzad

Thanks to Aizu-san for live-reporting and giving us a real-time description of discussion, that allowed IGC members to react and share comments and feedback in real-time. I think that we should keep such practice and having more people participating in-situ if possible .

 

resending the article again  <http://t.co/19CEsX6> n.pr/fHNHkL which I found on twitter (there are many people interested by Internet Policy but necessarily aware about development on IGF) , I think that we should use twitter and other social channels in addition to contact media for giving our point of views, I find that many of them are ill-informed and IGC can help to present CS perspective

Izumi,

 

Joining others in expressing my deepest thanks for the incredible job you did today. Those of us who were not able to be present in Geneva (and raged against the absence of any transcription) could follow things as they unfolded thanks to your perfect reporting. Kudos. rest well deserved. 

 

Final formulations are far from satisfactory (it is clearly a setback from WGIG) but contain some positive elements. The number of non-state actors is one of them and the Chair deserves credit for having kept this all along. 

 

As for the rest, there are probably sufficient ambiguities that can be exploited. "Bearing in mind" is one of them. Furthermore, the provision that the report must be adopted by consensus does not really clarify how much endorsement is needed from the non-governmental participants. And everything will be in the hands of those selected, depending upon their pugnacity, as experience proves that in multi-stakeholder discussions, most ideas come from the "bottom". 

 

Finally, several governments have insisted on the necessary openness of the process and this should be kept in mind to allow interaction through this list with the members (sorry, the "invited participants") in the Group.  

 

Best

 

Bertrand
