[governance] Results of consensus call on themes statement

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

Just wanted to say that I did not vote and have not been participating in the discussions related to IGF and its future, because I have gone back on contract to DESA/IGF as of 20 Jan 2011 until 1 March 2011. To be honest, I had not expect this contract after Markus' departure and therefore had started commenting freely on IGF when I wasn't on contract - something I had avoided in the past when I had expected the contract to be renewed.

But I do not want my lack of voting to be logged in the membership ledger as a disinterest in being a member in good standing.

Also, I did look to see if there was an 'abstain option' and did not see it.  I would suggest that in the future, an 'abstain option' with optional opportunity to log the reason, be included in ballots.

On the keeping of the membership list, I have no problem with such a list existing - that was never my point.  My only concern is how that list is created, added to, deleted from, and used.

After discussion with Izumi we are declaring the statement approved by consensus, with the two additions earlier discussed.  The final statement is now linked from the front page of our Web site and will be submitted to the Secretariat.
