[governance] Message to the IGC [Call for Wider Civil Society to engage in a Coalition]

[Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro]

Hi,

This is not a new initiative but simply one which I have been pushing for since Bali which is wider inclusion of civil society organisations rather than just:

> Association for Progressive Commuications (APC)
> Best Bits
> Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus
> Diplo Foundation
> ICANN's Non Commercial Stakeholder Group

Currently, the steering committee comprises of these 5 organisations but i would like to see more come to the table as we need to be inclusive and not exclusive and clique based.

This would simply mean ensuring that there is harmonized and seamless communication and joint synergistic efforts within civil society because it would be a farce to suggest increasing accountability and transparency from other constituencies and when within our own we are isolated.

Kind Regards,
Sala

It appears to be a new one and unrelated to the smaller representative grouping listed below, which is looking towards ways of jointly nominating CS reps to various bodies and is not seeking to undertake the sorts of tasks and networking Sala envisages.

There will be communiques sent to a mailing list that will be created that will inform you of events that are happening to enable you to stream the information to your networks and allow for authentic bottom up, grassroots engagement in the diverse regions of the world. This will help enable authentic global civil society engagement and make it truly inclusive.
