AW: [governance] Instituto Nupef on IBSA Rio recommendations

["Kleinwächter, Wolfgang"]

Thanks for this clarification.
 
This underlines the need for CS to come up with an own draft of Internet Governance Principles. But this has to be done in an open and transparent manner. I am really surprised that IBSA worked in such an intransparent way.

Betreff: [governance] Instituto Nupef on IBSA Rio recommendations



Dear people,

Regarding the recent recommendations (attached as PDF) produced by the
governments of India, Brazil and South Africa in the context of the IBSA
initiative (www.ibsa-trilateral.org) and as a consequence of a meeting
on Internet Governance held by IBSA in Rio de Janeiro on Sept.02, 2011,
  Instituto Nupef has the following comments:

The document is presented as the result of an IBSA Multistakeholder
meeting and all over the document the meeting is presented as the
subject who puts forward the recommendations. We must clarify that there
was no such multistakeholder meeting -  Nupef was invited to participate
in the IBSA seminar as a Brazilian NGO which has views and experiences
to share on the issues of Internet Governance. Nupef has never expected
that a document would be produced after the meeting, there was no
deliberation on concrete outcomes and no process that would lead to a
production of a final document endorsed by those who were present. In
our point of view, this subject in the text that presents the proposal -
"the meeting" - doesn't exist;

Nupef is against the creation of a new body "located within the UN
system" dedicated to undertake the roles described in the IBSA
recommendations;

Nupef doesn't see how such body could "integrate and oversee the bodies
responsible for technical and operational functioning of the Internet,
including global standards setting;" and why this would be necessary;

Nupef recognizes that the IBSA recommendations might be an interesting
starting point for a discussion if reformulated and improved, not only
in its content but also in the process of its further development,
including a wider range of civil society voices in an open,
participatory and transparent process;

Nupef agrees that close collaboration and concrete action is needed in
the field of Internet Governance and strongly suggests that existing
dialogue spaces for civil society, government and private sector - such
as the CGI.br - and existing communications spaces and structures - such
as e-mail lists and foras that have been hosting this kind of
collaborative reflection and action for several years - be the space for
this exchange and deliberation.
