[governance] URGENT: Request for input on civil society representatives for the "Panel on the Future of Global Internet Cooperation"

[Lee W McKnight]

Norbert, everyone,

Glad to see everyone's focus on urgent tasks at hand.

My 1 cent on '"Panel on the Future of Global Internet Cooperation" - with all due respect to everyone else nominated who are great and no doubt will do great if selected as cs representative.

Put Milton on and we get one thing accomplished, which is further internationalization of ICANN. Let's do it.

The other CS selection has a heavy load because she or he has to ensure all other CS priorities are addressed, admittedly.

But at least we get one thing done when the historical window is open.

Lee

Dear all

Here's a quick update...

So far, in addition the following have been suggested, some in public
postings, some privately:

Anju Mangal, Grace Githaiga, Judy Okite, Nnenna Nwakanma, Michael
Gurstein, Thomas Lowenhaupt.

I have written to each of them to enquire about their willingness to
serve on this "Panel". So far, Grace Githaiga, Michael Gurstein,
and Thomas Lowenhaupt have replied positively.

Please note that the deadline for any additional suggestions is rather
soon.

In regard to the question that has been raised about process: This is
right now an ad hoc process aimed at making --in a way that is
coordinated across civil society networks as well as we can in a very
tight timeframe-- a demand for increased civil society representation
on the "Panel on the Future of Global Internet Cooperation"; this is
not directly related to 1net nor to any of the various committees that
will need to be formed in view of the Global Meeting in Brazil. I
certainly hope that it will be possible to set up a proper NomCom
process for those selection tasks, and that we'll find a way to do that
in a way that is again coordinated across civil society networks.

Greetings,
Norbert
