[governance] Fwd: Final composition of the CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation

[parminder]

BTW, the definition employed by the OECD for technical community in our 
very area of Internet governance in terms of forming stakeholder groups 
can be seen here <http://www.internetac.org/?p=22>.

You will see non ISOC, non ICANN, non RIR organisations as founding 
members of the Technical Community Advisory Group to OECD Intern policy 
making process. Organisations like Internet2 which is 'community of U.S. 
and international leaders in research, academia, industry and government 
who create and collaborate via innovative technologies'.

And these are just founding members of the Technical Community Advisory 
Group, others can join in. But what we have from the definition that was 
employed by the Focal point for selecting technical and academic 
community reps to the WG on EC, someone applying say from the 
"internet2' project/ community would not have qualified.

Strange that they qualify for OECD body as technical community but not 
for the UN system.....

Evidently, the definition of even the technical community part of the 
'technical and academic community' employed by the Focal point is 
erronoeus, what to say about the 'academic community' part which seem to 
have simply been banished.

A strong stench of power capture is evident here, but our own colleagues 
will have it that we behave as well manner status quoists and not raise 
such pesky issues.
