[governance] Commercialisation of the Bali IGF -> Anriette's questions

[Norbert Bollow]

FYI... here is copy of the “Commercialisation of the Bali IGF” related
questions that Anriette has circulated to the MAG list with a request
for them to be addressed at the MAG meeting that is to start shortly
(together with a few other questions).

Greetings,

--snip------------------------------------------------------------------

Commercialisation of the Bali IGF represented by the
funding/sponsorship document from the Indonesian organising committee
circulated in the last few days.

- What is the status of this document? The copy I saw was on Google
docs, but I believe it has the same content as the one on the Host
country website marked as "revision 10b". It has since been removed.
- Is the Indonesian strategy (as represented in this document and if it
was indeed a formal document) different from previous IGF host country
sponsorship and branding strategies and does it comply with UN criteria?
Can we confirm that the organisers were aware of these criteria?
- Does the approach to sponsorship in the document risk sponsors having
influence over the IGF agenda and character?
- Was the document used and referenced in conversations with sponsors or
donors who have committed support? I.o.w. are they are any sponsors who
expect promises made in the document to be kept?
- Would not delivering on these promises put any of the money already
raised by the Indonesian organising committee at risk?
- More generally, what is permitted and what is not in terms of
branding/banners/benefits for sponsors?
- How does UNDESA and the Secretariat ensure compliance with these rules
or standards?
