Hello all,
I apologize for being out of contact, as I have had a combination of
electrical and Internet cuts, travel and all day meetings. I am now in
Geneva, and attending your concerns about our
statement for the OC on
Tuesday.

With Jeremy's pre-authorized consent, as he is out of contact, I am
now making a call for consensus until 10 p.m. GMT Monday, Feb. 8th.
This should allow us to make a final decision at the in situ meeting
here in Geneva Monday evening. I will have my computer with me and
connected (unless we have some unavoidable problem), so you can email
or skype during the meeting, and we will try to reach a consensus with
as many voices as possible. My skype login is gingerpaque.

I propose that we find consensus on three short statements that can
be read together or separately, as appropriate--not necessarily in the
order shown. The f inal suggested closing is an iteration of
Parminder's recent suggestion.

An all agreement vote would read:
1: Yes
2: Yes
3: Yes

Conversely, one could opine with all "No" or a combination of
opinions.

1.
Network neutrality has been an important architectural principle for
the Internet. This principle is under considerable
challenge as the
Internet becomes the mainstream communication platform for almost all
business and social activities. The IGC proposes a main session with
the focus of Network Neutrality - Ensuring Openness in All Layers of
the Internet. This main session should examine the implications of
this principle, and its possible evolutionary interpretations for
Internet policy in different areas. Issues about the openness of the
Internet architecture are increasingly manifest in all layers of the
Internet today.

2.
A Development Agenda for Internet Governance Development is a key f
ocus of the Tunis Agenda and its mandate for the IGF. But while
development has been posed as a cross-cutting theme of IGF meetings,
they have not featured a broadly inclusive and probing dialogue on
what Internet Governance for Development (IG4D) might mean in
conceptual and operational terms. To address this gap, the IGC
previously has advocated a main session on A Development Agenda for
Internet Governance,
and some its members have organized workshops or
produced position papers elaborating different visions of what such an
agenda could entail. In light of the related discussions during the
Sharm el Sheikh cycle, we renew our call for a main session on this
theme. The dialogue at Vilnius could, inter alia, identify the
linkages between Internet governance mechanisms and development, and
consider options for mainstreaming development considerations into IGF
discussions and Internet governance processes, as appropriate. We also
continue to support the Swiss government's pr oposal to consider
establishing a multi-stakeholder Working Group that could develop
recommendations to the IGF on a development agenda.

3.
Internet governance has up to this time largely been founded in
technical principles and, increasingly, on the Internet’s
functionality as a giant global marketplace. With the Internet
becoming increasingly central to many social and political
institutions, we are of the
view that a consideration of 'internet
rights and principles' can provide the basis for a more comprehensive
conceptual framework for IG.
In Sharm El Sheikh, specific 3-hour workshops on the two themes of a
development agenda and Net Neutrality were organized, which represents
a certain degree of maturity of these themes within the IGF context.
These successful and productive sessions should be build upon in 2010.

The Dynamic Coalition on Internet Rights and Principles has done
dynamic and productive work on the issue of IRP, highlighting the
concept of Dynamic Coalitions and laying the groundwork to address
this issue as part of the Vilnius agenda. 

Thank you very much.
Best,
Ginger
