[governance] 1net steering committee - civil society representation

[Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro]

I must admit that one of the challenges I have had with the Civil Society Coordination Group was the lack of inclusivity despite my repeated attempts to have others involved such as the IRP. I felt that IGC participation was more like token participation. There is some sort of civil society backhanded politics to keep people from participating fairly and equally which I was not impressed with. 

However, given the short notice, process challenges are to be expected. However despite the shortcomings,  I am confident in the strength of the five appointees to the Steering Committee as I feel that they are fairly able to communicate the diverse challenges of civil society to the steering committee.

For the sake of completion and to avoid "capture":

1) For transparency sake, is there more than one candidate from the same organisation or civil society group?

2)Are any of the civil society candidates currently employed or on contract by government or intergovernmental organisation? 

3)Are any of the civil society candidates currently employed by a public or private company (LLC, Franchise), partnership that could be deemed to be of private sector in nature? Disclosure statements. 

4)Is there any conflict of interest that could undermine the candidate's capacity to represent civil society to the Steering Committee.


Kind Regards,
Sala

Ian Peter was an independent facilitator. Internet Governance Caucus (IGC) was involved with the process and the call for nominations, but when its representative and sole co ordinator at this stage (Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro) withdrew at a late stage it was not possible to provide a replacement in the short time frame. Hopefully these difficulties within IGC will be resolved for future efforts (with IGC co ordinator elections due now). However, with 3 ex-coordinators of IGC involved with the selection process we believe its interests were fully represented.

Diplo community undertook a process of narrowing its large pool of nominations to two names before consideration by other selection committee members, and the result of the various calls from various networks was that 13 names were considered by the committee. The final names were arrived at by consensus of all the representatives involved.
