: [governance] caucus contribution -> LIST OF PROPOSED CHANGES

[Norbert Bollow]

[with IGC coordinator hat on]

Dear all

Here's a summary of the current status in regard to the planned caucus
contribution.

We're getting close to the end of the consensus process phase: The
deadlines for raising issues and for proposing resolutions have passed.
However, if absolutely necessary we're able to extend the deadline for
proposing resolutions for specific issues that really need a longer
consensus process. That would mean that the corresponding paragraphs of
the statement could not be included when the main part of the
statement is sent to the IGF secretariat, but those paragraphs would
(after whatever further wordsmithing is considered necessary) be sent
to the secretariat on Monday morning in an addendum.

I'm giving a summary of the resolutions that have been proposed below.

As announced earlier, the deadline for objecting to any of these
proposed resolutions is 22.00 UTC TODAY Thursday February 14.

A copy of the draft statement (plus paragraph numbers for reference
during these final stages of the consensus process) which highlighted
changes is available (the same content in several formats) at

Greetings,

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS

Paragraph 1
===========
* New footnote about the process by which the statement is developed,
  resolving a request by Avri.

Paragraph 3
===========
* Deletion of "overly editorializing" text pointed out by McTim.

Paragraph 4
===========

Paragraph 10
============
* Reworded resolving the objection by Avri and McTim that the term "net
  neutrality" is not sufficiently well-defined.

Paragraph 12
============
* Wording change "Meaningful participation of all stakeholders in IG" to
  "Effective participation of all stakeholders in IG" to resolve an
  objection by Avri.
* Reworded and substantively expanded, resolving Avri's request for
  *Human rights" as overall theme, and Imran's request to incorporate
  the "Internet for Kids" theme suggestion, as well as Parminder's
  suggestion from a while back to incorporate the "Internet Rights and
  Principles" theme suggestion, while keeping "Effective participation
  of all stakeholders in IG" as a "sub-theme".

Paragraph 14
============
* Deleted the point about reduction of the number of workshops,
  resolving an objection by Avri. [Note: The substantive point however
  survives with the "some of us suggest" qualification in paragraph 26.]
