Assunto: Re: [governance] Proposed workshop text on CSTD and/or Indian
proposal

 

Just to clarify, I have written to non-gov stakeholder groups only, not to
gov reps.

Dear all,

 

I have consulted other stakeholder groups (wrote to the members of the CSTD
WG) and asked them if they would like to co-sponsor and/or participate as
speakers in our workshop "reflections on the indian proposal".

 

After some delay, both groups answered me that they are going to present
their own workshop proposals about the CSTD process and IGF improvement.
They said they would be open to talk about merging with us and asked me to
convey this message to you.

 

We know how merging can result in a "frankenstein" specially in a topic like
this. So we have to carefully assess what to do next. I was really hoping
that talking to other groups in advance would make us engage in fruitful
dialogue and would allow us to present a unified proposal.

 

Business sector has not yet a text of their proposal (to be advanced by
ICC). The technical community has a draft proposal, that is too broad in my
opinion, and will hardly advance the debate. The key-questions in their
proposal are:

- Compare and contrast the two IGF improvement processes [CSTD WG and MAG],
identifying the advantages and disadvantages of each process, and where
there is overlap in their work, if any.

·       Examine some example improvements contributed to each process,
following through their implementation, or otherwise, to assess the real
world constraints that have an affect on implementation

·       Discuss the best processes that can be used in future to identify
and implement improvements to the IGF

 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Marília

If there are no further comments about this workshop proposal (reflections
on the Indian proposal), then I believe that Jeremy and I will start
contacting other stakeholder groups by tomorow (Monday), ok?

I just believe that we should carefully frame it, so that stakeholder
representatives that do not necessarely agree with the proposal feel invited
and encouraged to participate and put forth their arguments. During the CSTD
WG meeting, the technical community and US opposed the proposal, but they
did not say why. 

 

I feel that we are gravitating towards a consensus on the more focused
India/CSTD workshop proposal (in addition to the Mapping one), but here is
some more nuanced language for the former, with changes underlined (anyone
else, feel free to make your own suggestions):

 

Reflection on the Indian proposal towards an IGF 2.0

 

As a participant in the CSTD's Working Group on Improvements to the IGF, the
Government of India recently provided a set of "Proposed Improvements to IGF
Outcomes, in Keeping with the UN General Assembly Mandate".  Although only
one stakeholder's proposal, the ten suggested improvements reflect proposals
that some other countries and other stakeholder groups have also previously
aired. It is also one of the only relatively comprehensive written proposals
on IGF outcomes to emerge from the Working Group, and therefore provides a
convenient starting point for further discussion.


It was suggested in the proposal that the MAG identify key questions for the
IGF to deliberate upon, that a Working Group for each issue develop
background material on it, to be considered by the IGF through workshops, a
roundtable discussion, and possible inter-sessional meetings, and that
discussion at the plenary level would result in an IGF report on each issue
that would be transmitted to the CSTD and other relevant bodies for their
action and feedback.

Since it was not possible for the CSTD Working Group to fully discuss these
suggestions, this workshop is intended to provide a space to do so more
fully. The workshop will provide an opportunity for all stakeholders to
consider the merits of the proposals as well as their shortcomings, and
consider whether and how to take such proposals forward.
