[governance] Fwd: CSTD WG on Enhanced Cooperation

[Avri Doria]

Update:

It does seen, if i understand correctly, that at last the first meeting will be closed to all but members. I think this an unfortunate mistake, but I do not know how to change that just yet.

So my first cause in this WGEC is to argue for opening all meetings, including this first one, at least to the same extent that the organizations with which enhanced cooperation is desired open their meetings.  At the very least I will be arguing that all meetings, including the first,  have live streaming and that all email lists have open archives.

I hope others will join me in this attempt, but I am not assuming that just because we come from civil society or even may have been put forward by the same groups, that we will have any notion of a common front. I understand that we come from diverse stands of civil society and that we advocate differently for a variety of goals.
