[governance] CSTD Meeting on Enhanced Cooperation Note 1

[michael gurstein]

If available, I think it would be useful if Anriette and Parminder could
circulate the full text of their remarks as below to the list.  We've seen
Izumi's comments as well as Avri's already. It would be good to see the full
range of interventions from CS.

CSTD Meeting on Enhanced Cooperation on Public Policy Issues Pertaining to
the Internet

May 18  11:15

Some 300+ people attending. Quite a few.

Chair
Mr. Fortunato de la Pera,
Undersecretary, Department of Science and Technology, Phillipines

Alexander Oncoto,
 on behalf of Hamadoun Toure, Secretary-General, ITU

This meeting is an opportunity for all stakeholders - to implement the
consensus of Tunis Agenda para 35-g para 69 and 71 Resolution 102 of PP in
Mexico para 71 and 78 IGF and EC are two distinct processes - very important
ITU has started its process of EC "Dedicated Group" established PP adopted
resolution, open to all member states, open to all stakeholders Jun 8, all
member states are invited to this meeting, serve as forum where member
states can discuss Internet-related public policy matters

Anriette Esterhuysen, Executive Director, PAC

Reflction -

more people are connected, more people are connected.
IT matters more - than 2005
Copyright in one affect other country to access information sensorship in oe
country affects others in othe country

Internet - ownership is dispersed, some are by private sector, some by
government appilcations and content are users people are not happy with
current arrangement of EC some goverments feel excluded civil society or
small groups all feel excluded, want to be more effective lack the consensus
- like HR what is Public Interenst

we were not done as mandated by Tunis Agenda
discussion on EC - has not happened - that's why we are
Our proposal - myself and a netowkr of CS organizations
need to establish a Working Group on EC,
in similar way as WGIG
work closely with IGF, also associated with other bodies such as CSTD but
not belongs to IGF, essential to be fully MSH, able to participate equally
and free

difficulty;
Definition of EC
"in their respective roles" "on an equal footing"  - what do they mean?
"multi-lateral and multi-stakeholder" WG to take mapping on existing IG
institutions output should be Delcraration of some kind, on consensus, on
fundamental means to be cooperative MSH Internet Governance Legitimacy is
essential Leadership, also - such as WGIG Interaction and Feedback  this WG
should not work in isolation, work with Inter-governmental bodies and other
forum looking for - take fresh approach to a new, more comfortable approach

Parminder Singh
Glad to see we have finally decided to treat this important of WSIS mandate,
in earnest

Trying to figure out what are sticky areas - go directly to those areas but
before going there, there are two important questions, to be confronted

- are there enough important public policy issues to be solved at the global
level
- if so, what mechanism be appropriate -  how to deal with MSH

US study on Cyber security
OECD
CoE - cross-border--

Despite the US claim of historical role

We all have this democratic - all countries should have seat on equal
footing

MSH - elephant in the room we must confront
 one must admit institutionalizing representativity democratic - not easy be
dealt with evolving -

proposals - treat all stakeholders on equal footing - this proposition
problematic  how to operationalize ?  put Google or MS to put them in same
position with Governments?  if so that will marginalize the democracy, the
biggest political system give much power to business

role of civil society is different
  participation of CS - to articulate public interest
  such us e
CS actors - do not like to claim equal opportunity at decision making
Technical community must understand that needs and demands of public policy
decisions are different from making decisions on technical matters

These are different roles of stakeholders
start discussion here
differential roles of different actors - will close the gap of EC we have
not reached the boundaries of ideological ..

- start with discuss on what kind of roles to play
- what kind of mechanism
- structure of MSH

Conclude - Civil Society  - promising structure

India proposa is good to start EC
setting up CSTD WG on EC is right direction
