AW: [governance] Global Relationships Committee Charter

[William Drake]

FWIW I am told that the answer on the ICANN GRC is that the Board Governance Committee has recommended members of the committee;  the  Board Global Relationships Committee will finalize the draft charter, which will then be ratified by the Board; and membership of the committee and the charter should be published once finalized.

The need, to pay for all the ITU facilities in Geneva and the big staff in the many offices is an important driving force behind ITUs ongoing effortsd to look for new business which could help them to bring additional money into their empty pockets.  BTW, it would be good to re-call the report of the Cardozo Commission on CS involvment in the UN. We should do this at the IGF when our speaker touchesd the issue oif the future of the IGF, multistakeholder processes and the role of CS in global policy development.

Among other things, it helps to set a frame for how the Plenipotentiary outcomes will be received and reported, e.g. if ITU does more resolutions etc asserting its centrality to IG, right to make policy on ICANN matters, etc., it won't play terribly well in many circles that ICANN's leadership was not even allowed into the building while all this was happening.  There will be ripples...

Similarly, I'm told that companies that pay to join, say, ITU-T, are not allowed to attend meetings of ITU-D unless they pay there too.  The budgetary model is an issue with respect to possible CS participation as well.  If they were integrated into the UN system some things might be easier, but that won't happen.
