Thanks Bill and Wolfgang for the clarifications.
I am not sure that I will be able to handle a webinar at 2am AEDT, but perhaps those listening in could get clarity on this, ie
Virgilio could be asked to comment on ongoing use of Netmundial name and any involvement with cgi.br as regards this.
It would also be good to raise again in this context the issue of civil society (and other stakeholders for that matter) determining their own representation on the Co-ordinating Committee, and getting some indication of possible timeframes and procedures for this.
One thing that has advanced since the last time involvement with WEF was raised as a possibility is a broadly agreed on procedure as regards civil society participation if CSCG is to be involved, ie
“CSCG will not be involved in any appointments of CS representatives if more than 35% of its coalition members determine not to be involved in the process, or where the number with a clear determination to be involved does not exceed those expressing a wish not to be involved. (Others may have a neutral or undecided stance). Where coalition members choose not to be involved and a decision to proceed is made, their decision to do so will be announced (if they so wish) as part of any announcement of chosen representatives. The decision to be involved or not is the primary responsibility of each constituency.”
The coalition members for this purpose would be IGC, Best Bits, Just Net, Diplo, NCSG, and APC. I suspect, as regards any timeframes, it would be quite quick to select representatives once coalitions had determined whether to be involved or not, but the decision as to whether to be involved by each group could take some time; particularly if there is not clarity as regards structures, processes etc.
So a lot of clarity would be very useful! I will try to make the webinar, but I do suggest others should seek as much clarity as possible on these structural and procedural issues.

Hi
On Nov 4, 2014, at 9:38 AM, Kleinwächter, Wolfgang <wolfgang.kleinwaechter at medienkomm.uni-halle.de> wrote:
My understanding is that the NMI is now a "continuation" of Sao Paulo´s NetMundial (to implement the Roadmap as the main mandate)
Just to make sure we’re clear: per the August FAQ, NMI is NOT a continuation of Sao Paulo in the sense of global norm-setting. It does not take over any policymaking activity previously done elsewhere. It is a platform upon which people can build projects. The four initial projects were announced in August and are underway, driven by academics (2), CGI.br (1) and ICANN (1). The idea is that over time other groupings including CS could propose stuff on the platform, maybe find partners and other connections, and make stuff happen. As noted previously, WEF could use CS help in figuring out how to build and operate a platform that is open to all to use in this manner. Otherwise I assume CGI.br will be the main configurative force.
There have been recalibrations based on feedback, in particular from CS. The former Steering Committee will now be a Coordinating Committee and its membership will likely be selected on a bottom-up basis by different stakeholder groups, as CS participants argued for in August. Given our experience with 1NET, it’s a fair guess this could mean it will take some time to put that group in place.
with cgi.br in the leadership position (easier after Rousseff won the election and Virgilio remains the key leader).
Yes
ICANN will continue - on a lower level - to be a partner and the WEF will "collaborate" with the NMI (having its own projects independent from NMI).
The three orgs are each devoting a small piece of staff support. One of the four projects’ is ICANN’s, and it’s the least clear at this point.
But lets wait for the Webinar. Virgilio will explain the outcome from the various consultations in and aftrer LA.
And to Ian’s point, there is supposed to be a lot of press on the webinar so someone may raise the point, but if they don't you could of course ask Virgilio to explain the intra-CGI.br process here. They wanted to keep the name.
Best
Bill

So it's back to being the NETmundial initiative again. I note the involvement of Virgilio Almeida, but are any of our colleagues , particularly those with with affiliations with cgi.br, aware of any endorsement or MOU as regards NETmundial name being used for this?

You are cordially invited to participate in a webinar session marking the official launch of the NETmundial Initiative.
The Initiative's way forward has been shaped by the feedback collected from the various community dialogues since the NETmundial-inspired meeting hosted by the World Economic Forum in Geneva on 28 August 2014.
The Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br), the World Economic Forum (WEF), and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), will discuss these developments, in addition to the role of the multistakeholder NETmundial Initiative in energizing bottom-up, collaborative Internet governance solutions in a distributed ecosystem.
Speakers: Virgilio Augusto Fernandes Almeida (CGI.br), Richard Samans (WEF) and Fadi Chehadé (ICANN).
