Following the current evaluation of the IGC, we will issue another Survey to generate suggestions on how we can improve out internal coordination as the IGC. Things like developing positions on Policy areas.The IGC has following consensus developed positions on certain areas such as Freedom of Expression, Remote Participation, Human Rights etc. Noting that with critical forums looming namely, the IGF and other forums that will require global input from the IGC, I have put together some thoughts. Let me have your comments.  BackgroundFollowing the recent Survey conducted by the IGC there is consensus that there is a need to enhance the coordination of advocacy of critical Internet Governance issues in key Forums aside from the IGF.  As such, we would like to gather your views about how we are going to go about achieving the same. The WGIG 2005 Report had identified 4 Public Policy Clusters namely[1]:-a)     (a) Issues Relating to Infrastructure and Management of Critical Internet Resources, including administration of domain name systems and Internet Protocol Addresses, Administration of the root server system, technical standards, peering and interconnection, telecommunications infrastructure, including innovative and convergent technologies, as well as multilingualization;b)     (b) Issues relating to the use of the Internet including spam, network security and cyber crime;c)      (c.) Issues that are relevant to the Internet but have an impact much wider than the Internet such as Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and International Trade;d)    (d.)  Issues relating to the developmental aspects of Internet Governance in particular capacity building in developing countries.The WGIG then highlighted critical policy areas for the attention of the WSIS[2]. The Table below illustrates the Policy Cluster as well as the policy issues.No.#POLICY AREASPOLICY CLUSTER1Administration of the Root Zones, Files and Systemsa2Interconnection Costsa3Allocation of Domain Namesa4IP Addressinga5Multilingualisma6Internet Stability, Security and Cyber Crimeb7Spamb8Intellectual Property Rightsc9Meaningful Participation in Global Policy Developmenta, b, c, d10Capacity BuildingA,b,c,d11Freedom of ExpressionA,b,c,d12Data Protection and Privacy RightsA,b,c,d13Consumer RightsA,b,c,d   Working GroupsHaving read the feedback from the Survey that was done by Norbert Bollow some time ago, it is clear that it is far more beneficial to develop positions on key issues prior to deciding which forums the IGC is going to engage in.  The Working Groups will mean that interested IGC subscribers can volunteer their names to be part of the Working Group. They can also volunteer to lead the Groups. For now it will be good if we agreed on a model for coordination, enlist volunteers etc.  Focus of Working GroupsWorking Groups can be tasked to do the following in each of their Policy Areas, namely:-         Create a repository of all submissions and Statements made by the IGC or other Civil Society organizations: This can be done by going through the ListServe Archives, UN Publications etc;         Identify the issues: What the issues are? Have these been addressed? Recommendations         Identify Forums for Advocacy: presentation of the IGC position         Preparation of an Information Paper : summary of issues, advocacy options         Generating Discussion: Generating Discussion with the IGC and assisting the IGC in formulating consensus position in the policy areaThere are a few options available to the IGC and that is whether we would like to have Working Groups that is based on the Policy Clusters could mean something like this. Please note that the Policy Clusters are far more expansive and include things like International Trade and issues tabled for discussions in relation to the WCIT.
