[governance] Our strategy, work plan and outreach

[Imran Ahmed Shah]

Internet Governance Caucus

Proposed Agenda
for 
Strategy Working Group

November 3, 2010
In order to start working on the strategy, I would propose the steps:
1.       First step should be the assessment of the current position of the IGC 
on the WISIS IGF mandate.
2.       Second Step may be the Evaluation of the IGC Members, in other words 
the assessment of the Strength of the Caucus. (i.e. no doubt very strong.)
3.       Third step may be the evaluation of the Global Trend and Future 
Development Requirement Analysis. This must include the evaluation of the 
current opportunities, Cyber-Security, Stability, Threats and Risks elements of 
the Internet Governance. (Ref. Para 72-a: Discuss public policy issues related 
to key elements of Internet governance in order to foster the sustainability, 
robustness, security, stability and development of the Internet). Following the 
desire of the Mr Wolfgang, we should try to avoid the reinvention of the wheel. 
We can make a list of hot and most Critical Issues.
4.       Define the strategic plan to achieve next level of the common goals, 
following the charter and (above listed steps) gap analysis, and to overcome on 
the areas of lacking attention. Action Plan may be devised for each quarter. As 
desired by Mr Izumi, shorter and recent targets may by fixed for Nov/Dec 2010, 
then for each quarter of 2011.
5.       Finally the monitoring and review mechanism on the Action Plans (given 
to the second group and third group).
 
Thanking you and Best Regards

Subject: Re: [governance] Our strategy, work plan and outreach


Dear all,

I am sorry I missed the beginning of the discussion. Presidential elections in 
Brazil (great outcome, by the way!) and a short trip right after it have kept me 
away for some days. 



After going through the thread, I would like to make just a few quick comments:

1) Strategy: I totally agree with the need for a broader scope, mentioned by 
McTim. Although IGF is one of the main concerns, there are other important 
issues that need to be taken into account in order to plan a solid and coherent 
strategy.

Although I am very glad to see many younger people volunteering to be part of 
the “strategy” group (and I would like to volunteer as well), this is a topic in 
which the views of more experienced people is fundamental, so I hope it is 
implied that many of the known “faces” on the list will be there as well!

Regarding the procedure of the discussions I just have one concern. Strategy is 
the heart of everything we will be doing, it is the base for the working plan 
and the outreach (others will be encouraged to join us depending on our 
positions). Because of the importance of the topic, wouldn’t it be good to carry 
out this discussion here on the IGC list? This would be positive for 
transparency and any interested person would have the chance to jump in, 
lowering the barriers to enter the debate.  I have seen complicated discussions 
taking place here on the list, and moderators have successfully organized them 
in different threads. Separate lists could be created to other areas of 
discussion. Just a though.

2) Working plan: I believe the group involved in the working plan does not need 
to wait for a strategy to be agreed upon. An important task that could start 
right now would be to work on the document proposed by Wolfgang "Internet 
Governance 2015: Priorities for Civil Society" (historical chapter, an overvierw 
about main issues and institutions, etc.). Strategy will be added to this 
document as rough consensus is achieved.

3) Outreach: I agree that to start an effort of outreach, we need to have a 
clearer idea of who we are and who is missing among us. Do we (or moderators) 
have an idea? Should we organize a questionnaire, like the one proposed by 
Sivasubramanian?

Just to reinforce, I volunteer to work with strategy and I will assist in every 
way I can with outreach. We have developed a good network of contacts because of 
remote participation.

Best wishes,
Marília
