Dear list,

Sorry for not following this up earlier. Just too many things to do.

Though I said we may run a poll, I guess Carlos is already our de facto speaker,

and Nnnena seems to have received good support and fulfills the gender balance

and also from developing region.

And as Ginger rightly suggested both speakers will take up the talking points

into their text, with some degree of, of course, their own words to be added.

May I ask you if this is our rough consensus?

Many thanks,

izumi

In light of the host country's jaw dropping decision to publicly

speaking in the opening an closing will emphasize the centrality of personal

privacy protection in Internet governance.

+1 On each of the points below.  I am currently in the Côte d'Ivoire

Internet Governance Forum and my drafting capacity is limited.  However, I

would like to see a line that extends "Multistakeholderism" down to active

national participation of all stakeholders. AFAIK, in as much as in some

countries, the government is weighing in, in ways that may appear

overbearing, in others, the decision-makers are actually note interested or

think it is an NGO thing.

Can we have a "Development Agenda" paragraph? I am also thinking that

"Participation" may also need to be a paragraph of its own

From: gpaque at gmail.com<mailto:gpaque at gmail.com> [mailto:gpaque at gmail.com] On Behalf Of Ginger Paque

I think that both points are important... I would say 'in addition to' not

'rather than'. Whom we choose sends a signal as sometimes as significant as

their words, and we tend to know their general positions as well as speaking

abilities when we nominate them.

Ginger and colleagues:

Yes, of course it is "in addition to" not "rather than" - but has there

been any substantive discussion yet? Frankly I think what they say is more

important than who we choose, but agree that in some cases "the medium is

the message."  At any rate we are long on "who" and rather short on "what"

at the moment, so…

let me throw out three short statements on issues that I passionately

believe should be addressed. In doing so, I will make an attempt to address

them in a way that takes into account the differences among us and hope

others do so in the same spirit. Other candidate topics would include IPR,

development…I defer to others there.

Human rights

CS believes that the absence of gatekeepers and the open, global

communication enabled by the Internet realizes the promise of Article 19 of

the UN UDHR. To erect (national) legal barriers to the free flow of

information is a bad idea and contrary to the individual human right to

freedom of expression. We therefore oppose efforts to create "national

Internets," or to block and filter internet access in ways that deny

individuals access to applications, content and services of their choice.

All attempts to deem certain forms of communication and information illegal

and remove them must follow established, transparent processes of law and

should not involve prior restraint.

Security and Securitization

CS opposes efforts to militarize the Internet, or any actions that would

foster a destructive and wasteful cyber arms race among governments and/or

private actors. We consider the surreptitious use of exploits and malware

for surveillance or attacks to be criminal regardless of whether they are

deployed by governments, private corporations or organized criminals. We are

skeptical of efforts to subordinate the design and use of information and

communication technology to "national security" agendas. We believe that

Internet security will be achieved primarily at the operational level and

that national security and military agendas often work against rather than

for users' security needs.

Multistakeholderism

Global governance institutions should not be restricted to states, so CS

welcomes the additional participation in global policy making that

multi-stakeholder processes provide. But CS cautions that multi-stakeholder

participation is not an end in itself.  Opening up global governance

institutions to additional voices from civil society and business does not

by itself ensure that individual rights are adequately protected or that the

best substantive policies are developed and enforced. In the informal spaces

created by MS institutions, it is possible that powerful governmental and

corporate actors can make deals contrary to the interests of Internet users.

MS processes must incorporate and institutionalize concepts of due process,

separation of powers and user's inalienable civil and political rights.
