AW: [governance] Landmark decision by ITU Council on proposal for public consultation and open access

Sat Jul 14 12:41:16 EDT 2012

During the WGIG time some academics - as Alejandro will remember - started to call for a general becnhmnarking of all - intergovernmental and international - organisations according to criteria like openess, transparency, legitimacy, accountability, membership, acess, diversity, bottom up PDP etc. The analysis was never done. Would be a good subject for Baku or a new "Dynamic Coalition on Transparency and Accountybility of International Internet Organisations".

Good point Alejandro... to extend it a bit, I'm wondering whether we might rather begin a process of adopting the Open Government Partnership principles and process http://www.opengovpartnership.org/ here as benchmarks and something that the IGC might look to promote with other of the agencies with which it is in contact (the IGF being one... 

The ICANN A&T Review may be rather more robust than the OGP one at this stage but the longer term OGP process is gathering a significant head of steam and including international agencies within that process would be, I think, a significant step for forward for CS overall (no reason we couldn't include both as part of the review/benchmarking process you are suggesting, which BTW would make an excellent Master's thesis or extended research essay for some appropriate grad student...

Izumi, 

a creative approach, and one which would speak for consistency in this community, would be to set up a benchmark and see how far the ITU complies with it as the process takes place over the coming months.

One particularly relevant benchmark would be the Accountability and Transparency Review of ICANN or related documents, mostly the updates on how ICANN  has taken measures to comply with the recommendations of the ATRT. See if non-governmental participants have access to key documents, access to discussions, the ability to organize themselves, and impact on decisions. 

We all know that ICANN needs to improve in all these aspects but it's a good benchmark. I've once graded several organizations related to WSIS. It's a complex exercise in evaluation but it can be done in a way that yields a few very clear results.

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty
