> As Wolfgang rightly suggests: "This is not an easy task" and, he seems to
> be willing to help by asking you to be aware of:
> - some CS that are not '*well intentioned*' in the field. According to WK
> there seems to be malicious CS around here. Could WK be more specific and
> point to the villains he is referring to? He can do that privately to you,
> if he feels he can't speak in the open.
> - CS should remained '*federated*' to come with a 'coordinated' voice.
> Everyone understands what is a 'federated CS' or a 'coordinated voice' in
> here? I do not. Could WK explain what he means here? Are these new official
> multistakeholderism aphorism?
> - Only if federated or coordinated CS should only consider talking to '*global
> multistakeholder IG negotiation table*'. Ahah, a negotiation table? Where
> is this happing Wolfgang?
>
> So probably by sending such strong warnings, WK does really mean his:
> "This is not an easy task".
>
> One interesting piece of news is his highly recommended strategy for the
> upcoming Independent Chair. Very helpful indeed. "*Please keep everything
> related to Human Rights*". As everyone knows, nobody can ever argue
> against Human Rights; moreover everyone knows that Human Rights is the most
> difficult topic among the many that are related to transnational
> governance. Very little progress to be recorded here. Of course, if one
> want to make sure that things move very very slowly, then that might be a
> good strategy. If status quo is part of HR, let's love status quo.
>
> So let's keep talking Human Rights (I wonder as I am writing this if I am
> not already putting myself in the line of fire as someone going against
> Human Rights - unless my freedom of Expression right is enough to protect
> me from such avenge), and all will be well in the MS world of IG.
>
> So let's be happy with One Thought, One Idea, One Internet, One vision of
> it. Pluralism is old fashion, concentration is better. Opinions are
> dangerous, communion is mandatory. Debating is a waste of time, let's
> listen to our masters.
>
> Love you Wolfgang.

> My best wishes go to Virginia Paque. This is not an easy task. The
> challenges are high. And Virginia deserves the support of all well
> intentioned CS groups in this field. With Ian as co-chair I am sure that
> Virginia will be able to help us to leave some useless internal battles

> There is a need that CS remains "federated" and comes with a coordinated
> voice to the global multistakeholder Internet Governance negotiation table.
> 2016 will be the first year after the WSIS 10+ Review. It will see -
> hopefully - the expiration of the IANA contract. We will have the OECD
> Ministerial Conference in Cancun. We will have new rounds of global talks
> on cybersceurity and digital trade. We will see new emering problems
> related to the the Internet of Things and other technological or business
> innovations. There is an ongoing need to relate all those issues to human
> rights. And everyhwere a strong civil society is needed. Without the voice
> of civil society the multistakeholder approach will remain an empty
> concept.

> The Internet Governance Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG) is pleased

> As well, and at Virginia's request, Ian Peter will continue on in a

> Virginia Paque has previous experience with CSCG, having been the
> representative of Diplo Foundation on CSCG until recently, when Diplo asked
> to withdraw because, despite its active involvement with and support of
> civil society, it could not be described as a coalition of civil society
> members.  We look forward to Virginia's renewed involvement and ongoing
> involvement in our activities.
>
> We wish to thank everyone who put names forward for their interest, and
> look forward to continuing to provide a conduit for civil society
> appointments to outside bodies in 2016 with the guidance of our two
> Co-Chairs.
