[governance] Inquiry for a new vision into the future of IGC

Fri Jun 27 02:56:35 EDT 2014

I also wont likely be in Istanbul so let me make my contribution here.

Under normal circumstances there would certainly be a value and use in
having a single umbrella under which the variety of civil society
perspectives might meet to find common ground on some issues and agree to
respectfully disagree on other issues.  There are possibly/probably
sufficient numbers of issues on which there is general agreement to warrant
such an initiative.

However, in order to achieve this there needs to be at least a minimum level
of decorum i.e. some sort of netiquette that ensures that the umbrella
is a safe place for folks to raise issues and respond to issues.  In the
absence of that nothing else is possible.

Also, a minimum level of mutual respect if not for the person at least for
the position is required.  Disagreements on principles need to be recognized
as inevitable but there also needs to be a recognition that contradictory
positions/priorities have validity and are respected if not adopted. 

Finally, a minimum degree of trust is required i.e. that motivations and
agendas are more or less explicit and differences and positions are matters
of principle rather than matters of strategy or tactics. Im not sure how to
achieve that degree of trust in a global, distributed and for the most part
virtual context, but that is our challenge.

Thanks for the suggestion. However, could we start the discussion here and
formulate ideas, propositions that may then shape the agenda for further IGC
discussion in Istanbul? Unless one thinks that would be totally
counter-productive to start this process on this list, this might be IMHO a
more inclusive option (particularly in case we don't have remote
participation logistic in place in Istanbul for this kind of
preparatory/parallel meeting.)

Now personally and at this point in time, I have no resources to physically
attend the upcoming IGF, and I'm not even sure Deirdre has -- which is not
to say no IGC face-to-face meeting cannot take place without both cocos. But
I think it would be a good thing to have something prepared ahead of time
for any such meeting, with or without the physical presence of any or both
cocos. 

Thanks,

Mawaki

Yes, good idea. We could have a face-to-face at Istanbul IGF meeting.
Turkish complex is very big so perhaps we could have a room for this...

Hello everyone, Mawaki Hello, 

I think that after the NetMundial Sao Paulo, we must consider the evolution
of our caucus relative to the current context. Is what to revise or redefine
the guidelines or objectives of the IGC? 

The IGC has made his experience since 2003 and is one of the few platforms
of civil society exist and is still operational. 

ICANN is mutating slowly towards autonomous international stature, IGF
gradually consolidated at the national level and what can be the role of the
IGC in the coming years?

I propose the organization of a workshop for all members, a workshop face to
face, so we can discuss the future of the IGC.

Dear Members,

This is an informal inquiry I would like to launch to hear from IGC members
or list subscribers and collect your ideas about where we should go from
here, as the Internet Governance Caucus.  

Particularly, please share your thoughts as to whether, in this context of
IG or Information Society more broadly, civil society needs an analogue to
what ICC BASIS (http://www.iccwbo.org/advocacy-codes-and-rules/basis/) is
doing for business, and if so, what this would need to be like.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Mawaki
