[governance] URGENT: Last call for feedback on CS participation in NETmundial Initiative

[Ian Peter]

Just following up on the information put forward by Mawaki below.

As a result of further discussions over the last 24 hours the situation if we participate could be

CSCG Nomcom receives all nominations for civil society participation for evaluation.

CSCG Nomcom recommends one candidate per geographic region and submits with reasons.

NMI convenes a (virtual) meeting with CSCG Nomcom and their transitional council to discuss any issues arising, with a view to reaching a rough consensus agreement if there are any issues with our nominations. If there is a strong dissenting voice from another area of civil society they may also be invited to participate – after discussion with us. Their suggestion is for any such discussion to be livestreamed.

This is all new and currently being discussed within CSCG, but it represents a stronger commitment to CS choosing its own representatives.  

Passed on for the sake of clarity as regards what our participation in choosing representatives would look like. But this is of course only one factor in people making a decision here.

Dear All,

You must have heard a good deal about this by now, so I won't repeat the background details. In the middle of the night last night, before hitting the bed after a long and drawn out day playing catch-up with deadlines, I saw that Ian (chair of CSCG) forwarded the NMI Transitional Committee's reply the CSCG enquiry. Basically, they are willing to let the CSCG vet CS candidates to be part of the NMI Coordination Council.

Now the question before us is to get a feel of the membership of CSCG member entities as to whether to get involved in the NMI process or not. I believe this is the last step in the consultations we've been having (with NMI initiators, among ourselves at the CSCG and with the membership of our respective organizations.) After this we should be able to give a definite answer, formulate a definite position about our participation in the NMI process. 

So what do you think? Please get right to the point and be brief. State your preference for IGC Involvement or No involvement and, if you care to provide us with such, I would be grateful to you if you could keep your supporting argument in one short paragraph (as we just want to take the "temperature of the room" if you see what I mean.) 

Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards.

Mawaki
