[governance] Our strategy, work plan and outreach

[Imran Ahmed Shah]

Dear IGC Members.
 
I highly appreciate Izumi’s suggestion and assessment of the areas where 
attention is required. 

It is good time to move for practical work for the Society to extend the action 
on the actual Mandate (of IGF Charter Para 72). 

 
We believe that IGC is global forum, representing the best participation of 
Civil Society and governmental and non-governmental stakeholders (on the whole) 
but we should admit that IGC itself is lacking practical work for the Civil 
Society or Internet Communities. 

 
IGC should work at the bottom level to facilitate the common citizen. I 
appreciate Ginger Paque, who immediately acknowledged her support to this cause. 
However, some friends mentioned constraint of the time and non-availability for 
taking further load of work. Everyone is very much tight up with his day to day 
life. But we should arrange a little bit slot for betterment of the Civil 
society.
 
I suggest that we should encourage capacity building, and rather than mentioning 
our limitations specifically, the messages should appear from those candidates 
who can participate more to strengthen the framework and action plan of the 
caucus.
 
 
Thanks and Regards

Hi everyone,
I would like to ask for concrete support for Izumi's initiative. Last year, 
these attempts did not get past a 'theoretical' stage. The IGC is now in a very 
healthy, solid condition, and I think we should take advantage of Izumi's and 
Jeremy's willingness to review and organize our strategies to make our work more 
effective.

Count me in!
Best, Ginger

Dear list,  After starting the role of co-coordinator, I have been thinking, and 
also discussing with Jeremy, about the "way forward" - or more specifically, 
working method, modus operandi, of our caucus.  Considering the many tasks ahead 
of us in relatively short time period, I think we need good division of labor 
and effective working team(s).  We don't want to become a workhorse ;-), rather 
we would like to "coordinate", meaning to facilitate moves and works of many 
members of the caucus. The more people involved in the actual work, the better.  
For that, we like to suggest that our group to come up with the followings.  a) 
Strategy - for coming months, in the context of IGF mandate extension 
debate/negotiations around UN  b) Work Plan - based on the strategy, we need to 
plan ahead on how to work - to push our agenda - this may include forming 
Working Groups, ad hoc teams, use some additional online tools etc.  c) Outreach 
Plan/actions One of the points we have discussed on the list was, if I may, the 
relative lack of outreach of our group, with larger Civil Society groups. 
Compared with WSIS days, we have less involvement from larger clouds of CS. How 
to address this and move forward.  We like to ask you to think about these 
points, come up with opinions, suggestions and plans, and eventually, or quickly 
move to actions based on [rough] consensus with bottom-up ways.  We also like 
some of you to become active members, taking leading roles for different items. 
Form working groups etc. To have wider division of labor of our work.  Of 
course, we are open to your suggestions and also welcome more volunteers!  best,
