    Congrats Nnenna!

      

      Put on one of your fabulous outfits, and then remind them, that
      working inclusively and respectfully with all stakeholder groups,
      particularly those that lack power and influence - i.e. civil
      society - is very different from putting on a colourful West
      African outfit :) It takes hard work, change in behaviour, change
      in structures and procedures, consultation, respect, trust,
      debate, and struggle, because do not always agree. It also
      requires a common framework of principles that defines what the
      public interest is in internet governance that can be used to
      promote and protect this public interest across the internet
      governance ecosystem and it is this framework that we trust the
      NetMundial can get us closer to.

      

      You could also mention surveillance, with particularly - but not
      only - mass surveillance demonstrating how easy it is to destroy
      trust, and to deny accountability. And, is there any tougher test
      for multi-stakeholder internet governance? I think it would be
      good to get the message accross that the IANA transition is not
      the only issue that NetMundial should be discussing, but at the
      same time, it is a key opportunity to come up with solutions and
      approaches that are not simply cosmetic.

        major issues
        

        Dear all,
        

        

        I got a message this morning from NetMundial Chair, Virgilo,
        inviting me
        

        to speak at the Opening Ceremony of Netmundial (meaning I have
        to pack
        

        one of those African dresses) for some 8 minutes.
        

        

        I have replied to say "I will be speaking from the Civil Society
        

        perspective, which is my Stakeholder Group".
        

        

        There is a Web Foundation media team that will help me put my
        ideas into
        

        place, but I cannot not request input from here, so that no
        major issues
        

        will be overlooked.
        

        

        

        I travel Thursday evening thru Friday, so the earliest I can
        share a
        

        draft/keypoints will be Monday.
        

        

        Hope we can pull this off well.
        

        

        All for now
        

        

        Nnenna
