[governance] Remote Participation

[parminder]

Sala

Despite my numerous requests to the contrary I am completely unable to 
understand why we should, consistently and religiously, mention private 
sector before civil society where ever they come together. Now this 
could not be  a mistake because I always see it in this order, and even 
in this document they appear together more than once and always in the 
same order. So, obviously, there is some thinking behind it which I 
would like to be enlightened about.

(Also why this sentence - "We also encourage greater partnership between 
the governments and private sector in enhancing remote participation." 
What does this mean.)

I am also unable to understand the new process of seeking rough 
consensus that is being adopted. It has been an almost hallowed practice 
that once a statement is put for a 48 hour notice to invite rough 
consensus no changes can be made to it. But nowadays it seems that a 
statement is put out for rough consensus and at the same time changes/ 
comments to it are invited, and then the co-coordinators forward 
whatever new form of statement that they feel like forwarding. It is 
obviously impossible for anyone to  say yes or no to a statement that is 
still being modified.

Also, the practice has been that, before the 48 hour period, proposed 
changes to any statement have to be suggested on the email list here, 
with due justifications. There is a good reason for this. We follow 
principles of deliberative democracy where positions are negotiated and 
forwarded on basis of reasoning and deliberation. Frankly, I am quite 
lost.... pariminder
