[governance] Draft statement to UNSG on bypassing CSTD

[Eric Dierker]

This "system" "process" "method" of drafting "statements" is not appropriate.
 
And as we have seen, the later call for consensus will be more a statement of support that the IGF continue and be heard ---- rather than what is heard.

Responsibility for system-wide follow-up and review of the WSIS outcomes, including the IGF, was granted to ECOSOC through its CSTD, and this role was to be managed using a multi-stakeholder approach (Tunis Agenda, para 105). 
 

The "opening" of the CSTD was a very complicated procedure which was first (in 2006) established as a preliminary exception, but was later taken for granted (though never formalized).  

Do we need the sentence above?

 

It allows for all WSIS-accredited NGOs, and private sector representatives, to participate as active observers.  In fact, the ECOSOC decisions that opened CSTD up to other stakeholders speak about "participating in the work" of it, rather than just observing.

While this statement emphasizes the continuation of the role of CSTD and the multi-stakeholder involvement in the review and the actual process of IGF, it says little about the achievements (or the superiority) of the multi-stakeholder approach.  There could be a short paragraph to extol the virtues of multi-stakeholderism, emphasizing that it is the only approach that would be a fair approach.
