[governance] [bestbits] NetMundial Alliance

[William Drake]

Hi

Thanks Ephraim.  These points have also been lightly touched on in the high level panel report and NM outcome doc, and will be explored more in a project being prepared for Istanbul.

Best,

Bill

An alliance or a coalition, fueled by the unforgettable spirit of NETmundial, and united by its principles, should without delay focus on the practical implementation of the NETmundial roadmap elements, specifically:
> Enable innovative and practical mechanisms to map Internet Governance issues to existing solutions. Where no solution is available, the mechanisms should dynamically fuse institutions and experts to address the issue effectively with participation from all stakeholders.
> Support the establishment of national Internet governance structures, enabling collaboration between government, private sector, and civil society members to produce local policy models/recommendations and best practices.
> Empower participants from governments, private sector and civil society -especially in developing regions – to actively engage in the distributed Internet governance ecosystem. The empowerment should come in the form of effective training, tools, and ready access to expertise.
> As I commented during one of the sessions at NETmundial, there is something in the Brazilian or Latin American wind that energized our discussions here over two days. Participants talked about the pervasive spirit of cooperation and collaboration – a willingness to listen to one another’s points of views and to try to find common ground. I hope that spirit continues in the months to come as we continue on this journey to evolved Internet governance together."

>> Fadi has been musing privately about this since at least September but the concept is still evolving, so the announcement now was an interesting decision.  NCUC had the US delegation visit our Tuesday meeting for an hour and when I asked about it, Larry Strickling said they were as surprised as anyone by the announcement and looking forward to hearing more.  A rep of another presumably relevant entity I asked said pretty much the same.  One that’s not here seems to know more, so probably the conversation is being evolved piecemeal.

>> Without wanting to put words in his mouth, basically Fadi seems to think that a new multistakeholder configuration of (what he sees as) key governments and nongovernmental actors is needed to carry forward the NETmundial agenda.  The argument has been put to him that such an effort would likely be more divisive than useful if it’s constructed on a selective rather than inclusive basis and is decoupled from other processes/forums than enjoy broad legitimacy.  Hopefully he’ll take these and related considerations on board going forward, guess we’ll see.
