Hi
 
BTW did you notice that the adopted text says "international organisations" not "intergovernmental organisations". This differentiation goes back to the Geneva Plan of Action and the WGIG mandate in C6/13b "...involving relevant intergovernmental and international organizations and forums". "International organisations" next to "intergovernmental organisations" came into the WSIS language to accomodate both ITU (intergovernmnetal) and ICANN (international). With five seats for "international organisations" this could be - inter alia - ICANN, IETF, ISOC, NRO, Article 19. Furhtermore in the other category it says "academic and technical community" which includes not only technical experts but also academics from social science, law, economics etc, that is IAMCR, GIGANET & friends. This goes back to the WGIG report which had singled out the "academic and technical community" as a special group. Para 33 said:  " Furthermore, the WGIG recognized that the contribution to the Internet of the academic community is very valuable and constitutes one of its main sources of inspiration, innovation and creativity. Similarly, the technical community and its organizations are deeply involved in Internet operation, Internet standard-setting and Internet services development. Both of these groups make a permanent and valuable contribution to the stability, security, functioning and evolution of the Internet. They interact extensively with and within all stakeholder groups."
 
Before discussing in detail a Plan B or C, we should try to form a strong "Group of the 20" which would work inside the WG on IGF Improvement and would have the capacity (and legitimacy) to produce, if needed, a "minority report" if no consensus between the (majority of) governmental and (the minority of) non-governmental members of the group is achievable until May 2011.

By reading my note, I found this:

The chair said right after the lunch break:

"As chair, I listened carefully.
Commonly agreed that all stakeholders should be inclusive for the WG.
Here is Chair's proposal for your consideration.

We have 15 from Stakeholders plus International Organizations.
From 15, 5 from Academic and Technical community
5 from Civil Society and 5 from the business group.
The leadership of these organizations will be able to select
representatives to join the member states of WG."

She didn't say how directly, but this was what she said.
I will ask the Chair/Secretariat about this.
