Candidates: 1. Akinremi Peter Taiwo 2. Carlos Vera Quintana 3. Arsene Tungali Regads, Analía *1. Akinremi Peter Taiwo * As we all know that there is need for new co-coordinator to serve for 2016 - 2018. I am nominating myself and willing to serve as Co-coordinator of IGC for this period. I have more than the required skills and expertise to function very well in this capacity. Working as an IT consultant has equipped me to understand the rudiments of IT technologies (software, hardware and humanware). Have been privileged to facilitate international online discussions (FIN4AGRIC); served as social media coordinator of remote IGF events in Calabar, Nigeria; joined (NCSG) and contributes at several webinars and a strong advocate from remote participation. Have taken several courses including but not limited to IT, education, management, climate change, policy and implementation which has widened my knowledge to function (DiploFoundation, Worldbank Institute, YaliNetwork etc).

In order to be successful in any position and achieve results, there's need for strong relationship. As a coordinator for IGC for 2016 - 2018, I will strive to build strong relationship among IGC Members that will ensure strong discussion and early consensus while ensuring everyone voice and needs is given attention. I seek your support all. Best regards. *2. Carlos Vera Quintana* Carlos Vera Quintana, Ecuadorian, Electronic Engineer, Master in International Relations and an active participant in national and international forums on IG for over 15 years. I'm international director of the Internet Society Ecuador Chapter since 1999 and participated in organizations such as Icann, GIGANET, LACRALO, WITSA, etc. I have been a board member of various business, professional, civil society and government organization, so I can say I know these areas very closely with practical work and results. I have been president of the Association of Electrical and Electronics Engineers of Ecuador (professional association) ICT Sector and Internet of the Chamber of Small and medium Industry (business sector), the Connectivity Agenda of Ecuador (government) and Internet Society Internet Ecuador chapter, an international organization with chapters in more than 120 countries (Civil Society, users and citizens). I have an excellent tech background by profession, practice and academic experience. And I have worked in international relations and Negociones since 1999 in groups such as the Free Trade Area Agreement for America, FTAA, Free Trade with USA, World Summit on Information Society, Internet Governance Forum and as an academic in Ecuador and other Latin American countries. I have participated in projects and events on IG and related topics in academic, business and government sectors in America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia for more than 20 years. I am English proficient and understand Portuguese. I have an strong background on technologies, networks, computer systems, Internet, software, IG, hardware and humanware. My contribution to the world of the IG is in several areas since the creation of local groups working on these issues going through the participation in several of the most important international forums both locally and in virtual mode. I have specialized courses in Cyber laws, Cyber crime, Intellectual Property on the Internet, Mediation, International Negotiation at Harvard berkman Center, Georgetown University and others. Led the implementation of the Internet Governance Forum in Ecuador and Internet Steering Committee of Ecuador. I believe that I have the knowledge and ability in the technology aspects, International Relations and Governance to be very useful in the work to be done. I have been a Councilor of Citizen Participation in Ecuador (rank of Minister of State) among other dignities that enable me to interact with diverse interest groups as needed on these issues. I was selected as Latin American's Grand Jury for the World Summit Award of WSIS and which further certifies my skills. I organized, in a join venture with an international team LACNIC 2012., the Latin America's largest technology and Internet-IG event in Quito with more than 450 international participants in cooperation between LACNIC and Telecommunications Superintendence of Ecuador. You can contact me by email for any clarification or expansion on my curriculum and this nomination. Sincerely *3. Arsene TUNGALI * I would like to nominate myself for the volunteering position as the new co-co to replace Mrs Deidre Williams. I hope you will trust me enough to give me the opportunity to serve you alongside Analia for the coming years. I have a lot of ideas and plans that i will be happy to share with you and work with you on their implementation. 1. Full Name : Tungali Baguma Arsène 1. Country : Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) 1. Organisation : Rudi International 1. Short Biography (you may also provide a link to your personal website or your Linkedin page if you have one.) Arsene Tungali, 26, from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a blogger and activist. I speak fluently Kiswahili, French and English, interested in being elected as the new IGC co-coordinator to replace Deidre Williams who is leaving (just ended her term). I am very familiar with the IGF, took Diplo Foundation IG courses and play an active role in the Central African IGF and the African IGF. I also attended and contributed to the IGF USA in 2015. I am an active member of the newly created dynamic working to host the first IGF in the DRC. I recently attended the IGF 2015 as an ISOC Ambassador, reported some sessions and blogged about my experience in Diplo’s daily newsletter during the Forum. I am a member of the IGC for more than 3 years now; have followed its growth and I am aware of its current challenges and strengths. I also am following various discussions on other civil society lists, helping me to get a sense of what are the needs and aspirations of the civil society as a stakeholder group in the IG sphere. I am also an active member of the Youth Coalition on Internet Governance. I am an active ICANN fellow. I am the Executive Director of Rudi International, the only youth-led Congolese non-profit working on child online protection and women’s participation in ICT issues. Since 2012, my organization has convened the annual ITU’s Girls in ICT day events and is a member organization that is part of their Child Online Protection (COP) initiative across Africa. LinkedIn Public profile : www.linkedin.com/pub/arsene-tungali/40/825/344/ Blog : http://tungali.blogspot.com 1. Why you think you would make a good co-coordinator for the IGC I have known the IGC for quite a bit now and I believe we need a new co-co who has the time, passion, dedication and have vision to bring us to the place we belong to in the IG sphere as a civil society body. I humbly think I have some of the above mentioned qualities and I am willing to contribute to the work we are doing here, alongside Analia, who has proved how capable she is. That’s why I am asking you to give me this opportunity to serve you. Some of the points I would like to bring to your attention about why I think I am good for this VOLUNTEERING position are as follow: - I am young, full of energy and have time to commit to this task. I might be the first young person (correct me if I am wrong) to be willing to take this role. Being young, I am open, ready and willing to learn from all of you, - While I understand English is the primary working language here, I am a French and English speaker which gives me the ability to easily engage with people who have French as their primary language as myself, - I have been told more than once that I am slow to speak, always taking time to think twice before I jump into a discussion. I know moderators ought to have that as quality, - I have basic analytical capacity and in my background have been doing similar work in the real world, which gives me the capability to do it in a virtual world, - I have been coordinating various groups and organizations from the civil society world which gives me better understanding of how to bring together different point of view and make a good summary, - I am closely following discussions from other CS groups and I am trying to be up-to-date with developments in the IG world and the global Internet ecosystem. To name just few, these are some of the points that make me believe I can be a good co-coordinator for the IGC and contribute to make it what it ought to be based on our Charter. I am a constant learner and will be always learning from your experience, willing to work with anyone available. 1. My vision for the IGC I want to contribute in helping the IGC to remain the Civil Society group of reference in the Internet Governance ecosystem, where people will be free to speak and express themselves with no fear to be frightened. I want the IGC to be a place where new people (members) interested in the IG can be able to learn and to contribute to discussions with no need to have advanced IG background. I will work to be able to create a good atmosphere in the group to make it a safe place for real and constructive conversations. I will work on bringing back those registered members who are no longer contributing to discussions although their inputs are needed to make informed decisions as a group. I will work on finding the reasons why they are no longer contributing and will make sure we bring them back. I will work on verifying email addresses of members and make sure they are updated because so many have either changed or are no longer using their original email address. Reaching out to them will help us update the list and have new insights from other members. Finally, I will be working with the current co-co to bring to reality some other ideas I have, some of them were shared on this list after the Brazil meeting where few IGC members met to talk and discuss IGC issues. I was privileged to be part of that meeting. ---------------------------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please circulate to your lists. Many thanks to my co-chair Ginger Paque and also the Nomcom team (Nadira Alaraj (Best Bits), Analia Aspis (Internet Governance Caucus), Robin Gross (Non Commercial Stakeholders Group, ICANN), Chat Garcia Ramilo (Association for Progressive Communications), and Parminder Jeet Singh (Just Net Coalition)) for a fantastic effort. Ian Peter REPORT FOLLOWS (text below is also attached in document form) Dear Chengetai, IGF Secretariat, and MAG selection committee(s), First, we wish to thank you for your past co-operation with us in aiming to ensure the best possible representation for civil society in the IGF Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG). We were pleased that you were able to accept all but one of our suggested nominations last year, and also our suggestions for speakers at IGF. We look forward to further strengthening this collaboration, in line with various recommendations calling for greater legitimacy, transparency and stakeholder involvement in such processes The Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG) exists solely to ensure a co-ordinated civil society response and conduit when it comes to making civil society appointments to outside bodies. It comprises representatives of the coalition members of the Best Bits, Association for Progressive Communications, Internet Governance Caucus, Just Net Coalition, and the Non-Commercial Stakeholders Group of ICANN. Together the reach of these groups extends to many hundreds of non-governmental organisations, as well as a great number of individuals. In addition, the CSCG receives recommendations of non-affiliated individuals and groups who chose to voice their endorsements through the CSCG mechanism. The CSCG represents the five largest groupings of civil society organisations addressing Internet governance issues. We also work in collaboration with other initiatives in the UN, but also outside of it (such as the Netmundial Conference in Brazil in 2014 and the subsequent Netmundial Initiative). We are pleased to forward the following civil society endorsements for candidates for the 2016 MAG renewal. The Nomcom considered 16 names submitted via our networks, which are attached as Appendix 1. For the record, we also asked to be privy to any other civil society nominations forwarded to you from other sources, and, for full transparency, all civil society stakeholder group applications, which we ideally should have considered fully and without discrimination, but we were told this was not possible. However if there are other names you are considering, we offer our services to give you confidential assessment of any such candidates. In completing our task, we note that three candidates designated by you as civil society representatives have terms ending this year; two from LAC region and one from Asia. (Fatima Cambronero, Desiree Zachariah, and Subi Chaturvedi) In considering replacements, we have looked at a number of considerations, the most important of which at this particular time, are: First, to restore the balance of LAC region representation, to replace retiring civil society members, we recommend: 1. *Julian Casasbuenas*. Julian is a member of the Association for Progressive Communications (APC), and has been attending IGF since 2006. He was involved in the organization of LAC regional IGF meetings and participated actively as a reporter and speaker in these events. In 2012 his organization, Colnodo, was co-organizer with .CO Internet of the Fifth IGF LAC meeting that was held in Bogotá Colombia. 2. *Renata Aquino Ribeiro*. Renata is currently a professor in the IT Campus at Quixadá City in Federal University of Ceará, Brazil. In 2014, she was a researcher in social development, technology and education at Business and Economics Faculty (FEAAC) at Federal University of Ceará (UFC). For the last decade, she has followed the Internet governance debates such as regional IGFs and ICANN53 participation as a fellow, Brazilian Internet School of Governance 2014 fellow, South School of Internet Governance 2015 fellow, LACRALO ALS Nexti participant, and NCUC participant in ICANN. Our second and third major considerations are to increase voices speaking for the geo-political global south, and to add to the level of experience in internet governance matters of civil society participation. We believe this can be done with one specific candidate. i.e.: 3. *Norbert Bollow*. Norbert has a background in mathematics, physics and IT, and he also has many years of experience in civil society activism on a wide range of information society topics including advocacy for human rights and Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). He has participated in the consultations that preceded the first IGF and he has since then participated in many IGFs, including several times as a workshop organizer. He has been a co-coordinator of Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus. Norbert is currently a co-convenor of the Just Net Coalition http://justnetcoalition.org/jnc-members, an international civil society coalition of 35 organisations and networks, most of them South based, with a focus on demands that the Internet must advance human rights and social justice, and that Internet governance must be truly democratic. Our fourth consideration is to gain representation from the MENA region, which currently has no civil society representation; and at the same time to strengthen our African presence. To this end we endorse: 4. *Rasha Abdulla*. Dr. Rasha A. Abdulla is Associate Professor (tenured) and Past Chair of Journalism and Mass Communication at the American University in Cairo. She has a Ph.D. in Communication (December 2003) from the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. She is the proud recipient of several teaching and research awards. Her current research interests focus on the Internet as a medium. Her doctoral dissertation was the first large scale academic study of the uses and gratifications of the Internet among Arab students in Egypt... Thank you for your consideration of these candidates. Please note that, in addition to addressing matters of geographical and gender balance, civil society, like other stakeholders, needs to consider geopolitical balance and the need to ensure that all stakeholder voices are represented. What might appear to be simple changes to the representation we suggest can be quite problematic for us, and result in either imbalance in representation or in inappropriate candidates being selected. To avoid these problems which have occurred in the past, we do suggest that, should you be looking at appointing anyone as a civil society representative not on our list of endorsements, you discuss this in confidence with our coordinators. In addition to any names you might have received individually, we recognise that there are a number of excellent candidates from distinct geographic regions who applied to be nominated through CSCG who we were unable to include in our limited number of endorsements above, that might come into consideration in such discussions. Given the investment in the important process of (perceived) legitimacy, balance, transparency and consensus, we feel strongly that selections should be done with our collaboration. This enhanced co-operation and consultation can assist to ensure the best possible civil society representation, a goal we all share. This also addresses the recommendation of the Working Group on Improvements to the IGF, later endorsed by UN General Assembly, seeking ‘self-management’ of stakeholder representative process by respective stakeholder groups. We are open for further discussion on this point and other relevant recommendations of the mentioned Working Group. Finally, we do think that, in the light of recommendations in the mentioned CSTD WG and in Netmundial, calling for greater legitimacy, transparency and stakeholder involvement in such processes, it would be appropriate in coming months to review the IGF MAG selection processes, to align them more with emerging best practice in ensuring stakeholder representation and also overall transparency. We offer our services to work with you and other stakeholder representative organisations towards this objective, which we consider imperative to have in place for the 2017 MAG selection process.

That's impressive. I really hope these people will be good representatives of our voices should them be accepted by the UNDESA. On another note, let me convey my thanks to all those who supported me and who publicly endorsed my candidancy within the IGC, which i consider as a family. Nothing is lost, i am still around and will continue to do what i can to support this group, especially now that the IGC Co-Co elections are still to be done.  Regards,A ---------------------Arsene Tungali,+243 993810967 at arsenebagumaDemocratic Republic of CongoSent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Monday, February 1, 2016, 6:01 PM, Analia Aspis wrote: Dear IGC members,  Bellow, the information from Ian Peter with regard the MAG endorsement. Regards,Analía Aspis Folks, (both Nomcom and CSCG members) Attached in document form, and also below, is the final report of the CSCG Nomcom for 2016 MAG nominations. Please circulate to your lists. Many thanks to my co-chair Ginger Paque and also the Nomcom team (Nadira Alaraj (Best Bits), Analia Aspis (Internet Governance Caucus), Robin Gross (Non Commercial Stakeholders Group, ICANN), Chat Garcia Ramilo (Association for Progressive Communications), and Parminder Jeet Singh (Just Net Coalition)) for a fantastic effort. Ian Peter REPORT FOLLOWS   (text below is also attached in document form)   Dear Chengetai, IGF Secretariat, and MAG selection committee(s),   First, we wish to thank you for your past co-operation with us in aiming to ensure the best possible representation for civil society in the IGF Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG). We were pleased that you were able to accept all but one of our suggested nominations last year, and also our suggestions for speakers at IGF. We look forward to further strengthening this collaboration, in line with various recommendations calling for greater legitimacy, transparency and stakeholder involvement in such processes   The Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG) exists solely to ensure a co-ordinated civil society response and conduit when it comes to making civil society appointments to outside bodies. It comprises representatives of the coalition members of the Best Bits, Association for Progressive Communications, Internet Governance Caucus, Just Net Coalition, and the Non-Commercial Stakeholders Group of ICANN. Together the reach of these groups extends to many hundreds of non-governmental organisations, as well as a great number of individuals. In addition, the CSCG receives recommendations of non-affiliated individuals and groups who chose to voice their endorsements through the CSCG mechanism. The CSCG represents the five largest groupings of civil society organisations addressing Internet governance issues. We also work in collaboration with other initiatives in the UN, but also outside of it (such as the Netmundial Conference in Brazil in 2014 and the subsequent Netmundial Initiative).   We are pleased to forward the following civil society endorsements for candidates for the 2016 MAG renewal.   The Nomcom considered 16 names submitted via our networks, which are attached as Appendix 1. For the record, we also asked to be privy to any other civil society nominations forwarded to you from other sources, and, for full transparency, all civil society stakeholder group applications, which we ideally should have considered fully and without discrimination, but we were told this was not possible.  However if there are other names you are considering, we offer our services to give you confidential assessment of any such candidates.   In completing our task, we note that three candidates designated by you as civil society representatives have terms ending this year; two from LAC region and one from Asia. (Fatima Cambronero, Desiree Zachariah, and Subi Chaturvedi)   In considering replacements, we have looked at a number of considerations, the most important of which at this particular time, are:    First, to restore the balance of LAC region representation, to replace retiring civil society members, we recommend:   - Julian Casasbuenas. Julian is a member of the Association for Progressive Communications (APC), and has been attending IGF since 2006.  He was involved in the organization of LAC regional IGF meetings and participated actively as a reporter and speaker in these events. In 2012 his organization, Colnodo, was co-organizer with .CO Internet of the Fifth IGF LAC meeting that was held in Bogotá Colombia. - Renata Aquino Ribeiro. Renata is currently a professor in the IT Campus at Quixadá City in Federal University of Ceará, Brazil. In 2014, she was a researcher in social development, technology and education at Business and Economics Faculty (FEAAC) at Federal University of Ceará (UFC). For the last decade, she has followed the Internet governance debates such as regional IGFs and ICANN53 participation as a fellow, Brazilian Internet School of Governance 2014 fellow, South School of Internet Governance 2015 fellow, LACRALO ALS Nexti participant, and NCUC participant in ICANN.   Our second and third major considerations are to increase voices speaking for the geo-political global south, and to add to the level of experience in internet governance matters of civil society participation. We believe this can be done with one specific candidate. i.e.:   3. Norbert Bollow. Norbert has a background in mathematics, physics and IT, and he also has many years of experience in civil society activism on a wide range of information society topics including advocacy for human rights and Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). He has participated in the consultations that preceded the first IGF and he has since then participated in many IGFs, including several times as a workshop organizer. He has been a co-coordinator of Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus. Norbert is currently a co-convenor of the Just Net Coalition http://justnetcoalition.org/jnc-members, an international civil society coalition of 35 organisations and networks, most of them South based, with a focus on demands that the Internet must advance human rights and social justice, and that Internet governance must be truly democratic.   Our fourth consideration is to gain representation from the MENA region, which currently has no civil society representation; and at the same time to strengthen our African presence. To this end we endorse:   4. Rasha Abdulla.  Dr. Rasha A. Abdulla is Associate Professor (tenured) and Past Chair of Journalism and Mass Communication at the American University in Cairo. She has a Ph.D. in Communication (December 2003) from the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. She is the proud recipient of several teaching and research awards. Her current research interests focus on the Internet as a medium. Her doctoral dissertation was the first large scale academic study of the uses and gratifications of the Internet among Arab students in Egypt...   Thank you for your consideration of these candidates. Please note that, in addition to addressing matters of geographical and gender balance, civil society, like other stakeholders, needs to consider geopolitical balance and the need to ensure that all stakeholder voices are represented. What might appear to be simple changes to the representation we suggest can be quite problematic for us, and result in either imbalance in representation or in inappropriate candidates being selected. To avoid these problems which have occurred in the past, we do suggest that, should you be looking at appointing anyone as a civil society representative not on our list of endorsements, you discuss this in confidence with our coordinators. In addition to any names you might have received individually, we recognise that there are a number of excellent candidates from distinct geographic regions who applied to be nominated through CSCG who we were unable to include in our limited number of endorsements above, that might come into consideration in such discussions.   Given the investment in the important process of (perceived) legitimacy, balance, transparency and consensus, we feel strongly that selections should be done with our collaboration. This enhanced co-operation and consultation can assist to ensure the best possible civil society representation, a goal we all share. This also addresses the recommendation of the Working Group on Improvements to the IGF, later endorsed by UN General Assembly, seeking ‘self-management’ of stakeholder representative process by respective stakeholder groups.  We are open for further discussion on this point and other relevant recommendations of the mentioned Working Group.   Finally, we do think that, in the light of recommendations in the mentioned CSTD WG and in Netmundial, calling for greater legitimacy, transparency and stakeholder involvement in such processes, it would be appropriate in coming months to review the IGF MAG selection processes, to align them more with emerging best practice in ensuring stakeholder representation and also overall transparency. We offer our services to work with you and other stakeholder representative organisations towards this objective, which we consider imperative to have in place for the 2017 MAG selection process.   Sincerely,     Virginia Paque and Ian Peter Non-voting Co Chairs CSCG   Nomcom members: Nadira Alaraj (Best Bits), Analia Aspis (Internet Governance Caucus), Robin Gross (Non Commercial Stakeholders Group, ICANN), Chat Garcia Ramilo (Association for Progressive Communications), Parminder Jeet Singh (Just Net Coalition) The role of CSCG is to ensure a co-ordinated civil society response and conduit when it comes to making civil society appointments to outside bodies.

The role social platforms have played in social uprisings highlights the attempts to exploit Internet affordances in order to trigger both the disrupting power and the potential for organization of new media and communication technologies. During the Arab Spring, Facebook and Twitter were used to organize horizontally structured demonstrations, while in Iceland they served as tools of engagement for the drafting of a new constitution. Blogs are constantly being used as precarious ways to speak where human right issues do not allow dissidence; organization to enact legitimate forms of protest are now seamlessly made through social media; traditional democratic processes have adapted to new technological channels, while new democratic efforts have also arisen empowered by digital tools. Both anti-systemic and systemic political agendas are being enabled and extended by Internet technology. We are interested in critical readings of these events; novel approaches into the politics of the networks; challenges and opportunities of the Internet as a tool for democratization, participation and collective action worldwide and particularly in the Global South. The conference Internet, Participation and Society is an invitation to deal with new proposals and views of this field of inquiry. It will bring together academics and civic society innovators to discuss and analyse the disruptive impact of the Internet and more importantly to hint to new ways in which it can be use to increase public scrutiny and political engagement in the developing regions. We particularly welcome papers on: • Social media as organization tool • E-democracy • Political uses of social media in the global south • Decentralized governance • Political engagement • Authority challenges • Cartographic politics • Disruption and disobedience via new media • Open-source government • Hacker culture and cryptopolitics Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to: • How are social and economic organisations renewed by communication technologies? • How media actors and media technologies are changing relationship between civil society and the state? • What is the role of the media in promoting democratic governance? • What kind of entities emerge from the encounter between traditional politics and e-democracy? • How are media strengthens democratic governance in the global south? • How digital communications are challenging traditional and hegemonic streams of information? • What patterns of governance are being shaped by media technologies? • Does new media creates its own set of inequality participatory mechanisms? • How to deal with the former problems arose by social media and other Internet technologies?

So let me try again. Congratulations Julian, Renata, Norbert and Rasha and best wishes for the future. Congratulations CSCG for a job well done at breathtaking speed. I was particularly grateful for two sentences in the message from Ginger and Ian. The first mentions "non-affiliated individuals and groups". I was touched by and made grateful for unsolicited support from organisations in the Caribbean region for whom the internet and its governance are secondary to the main thrust of what they do. This made me acutely aware of the fact that it is crucially important for such organisations to engage by including themselves/be included in IGF discussions, and this made me grateful for the second sentence: "Please note that, in addition to addressing matters of geographical and gender balance, civil society, like other stakeholders, needs to consider geopolitical balance and the need to ensure that all stakeholder voices are represented." I hope that the civil society representatives and the MAG itself will devote some time to working on this particular type of inclusion during their deliberations this year.

Having had a rather intense experience exercising this right when I was on ICANN's board of directors I am surprised at the absence of some quite important matters. First there is the question of what the person/body making the inspection can do with the information viewed. Board members have powers regarding the inspected materials that are limited primarily by their fiduciary duties. This is an important matter. Second, there is much about corporate behaviour that is not documentary - for example, it is important that whether and how an organization actually practices what it has written. Third, there is much that requires considerable analysis. For financial data this tends to mean that data be available in electronic form so that it maybe examined and analysed with electronic tools. Simple eyeball access is inadequate. Fourth is the ability to bring in third party experts (such as forensic accountants, economists, and lawyers) to analyze the data. And with regard to third parties is the question of who controls maters of confidentiality and who has the authority over that third party. Fifth is the question of retention of the materials that have been inspected. Sixth is the question of costs. None of this stuff is without cost. Who pays? As a an attorney in California, particularly one who has been on ICANN's board and one who has exercised these powers of inspection I am not at all confident that these measures are consistent with the California law that governs public-benefit/non-profit corporations. --karl-- -------------- next part -------------- ____________________________________________________________ You received this message as a subscriber on the list: governance at lists.igcaucus.org To be removed from the list, visit: http://www.igcaucus.org/unsubscribing For all other list information and functions, see: http://lists.igcaucus.org/info/governance To edit your profile and to find the IGC's charter, see: http://www.igcaucus.org/ Translate this email: http://translate.google.com/translate_t From analia.aspis at gmail.com Thu Feb 4 09:29:32 2016 From: analia.aspis at gmail.com (Analia Aspis) Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2016 11:29:32 -0300 Subject: [governance] Elections time Message-ID: Dear IGC, The delay in starting the voting process is being caused by background technical difficulties.

It has been heavily criticized by members of the press for refusing to allow China-based reporters for the New York Times and Washington Post to cover the conference.[3] Reporters Without Borders demanded an international boycott of the conference, calling China the “enemy of the Internet.”[4] In addition, GreatFire co-founder, Charlie Smith, described foreign guests of the Conference as “complicit actors in the Chinese censorship regime and are lending legitimacy to Lu Wei, CAC and their heavy-handed approach to Internet governance. They are, in effect, helping to put all Chinese who stand for their constitutional right to free speech behind bars.” [5] > > ICANN’s participation in the World Internet Conference is especially concerning because of the Chinese government’s long and established record of restricting free access to the Internet, censoring content, and criminalizing certain forms of online speech. Just recently, Freedom House, an independent watchdog organization dedicated to the expansion of freedom and democracy around the world, released their report “Freedom on the Net 2015” in which China was ranked last in the world for Internet freedom.[6] Not only has China used the Internet as means of surveillance within its borders, but some believe that Chinese hackers may be responsible for a breach of U.S. Government databases at the Office of Personnel Management, which resulted in the theft of personal information of more the 22 million Americans.[7] > > Also concerning is the membership of the Conference’s advisory committee on which you have agreed to serve. Your co-chair, for instance, is Jack Ma, founder of China’s Internet giant Alibaba, which is currently helping the Chinese government develop a “social credit system” to monitor and score the behavior of individuals and businesses in China. In addition, some of the members of the committee, such as the United Nations’ International Telecommunication Union, the League of Arab States, the Russian Safe Internet League, and the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology of Iran, represent countries whose policies have undermined a free and open Internet. > > Finally, your participation as a co-chair of the committee raises concerns about a personal conflict of interest while you serve as the Chief Executive Officer of ICANN under contract with the United States Government. According to federal regulations, a personal conflict of interest is defined as “a situation in which a covered employee has a financial interest, personal activity or relationship that could impair the employee’s ability to act impartially and in the best interest of the Government when performing under the contract.”[8] Potential sources of personal conflicts are gifts, including travel; compensation, including wages, salaries, commission, professional fees, or fees for business referrals; other employment or financial relationships (including seeking or negotiating for prospective employment or business); and consulting relationships (including commercial and professional consulting and service arrangements, scientific and technical advisory board memberships, or serving as an expert witness in litigation). > > In order to gain a better understanding of the potential implications for the United States Government of your service on the advisory committee for the World Internet Conference, we request that you provide a response to the following questions as soon as possible, but no later than 9:00 a.m. on Friday, February 19, 2016. > > 1. On December 23, 2015, in an ICANN blog post, you announced that you would be serving as the co-chair of a newly formed advisory committee to the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen. In that blog post, you noted that “the first meeting of the committee will take place in Summer 2016.” However, a World Internet Conference press release on December 21, 2015, announcing the advisory committee stated that “[t]he advisory committee held its first meeting on the sidelines of the second WIC in Wuzhen of east China's Zhejiang Province.” > > a. Please provide a yes-or-no answer to the following question: Did the advisory committee meet in Wuzhen during the second World Internet Conference? If yes, did you participate? > > b. What was discussed during the meeting? Specifically, did the advisory committee discuss the IANA transition or the role of the United States Government? > > c. Do you believe that advisory committee participants share the United States’ view of a free and open Internet? > > 2. Did ICANN’s Board of Directors approve your attendance and participation at the World Internet Conference? > > 3. When did you first notify ICANN’s Board of Directors that you had agreed to serve as a co-chair of the advisory committee for the World Internet Conference? > > 4.

If yes, please describe the conflicts discussed and if such conflicts will be addressed. > > 5. In your December 23, 2015 blog post you stated, “I have accepted an appointment with a financial institution, and in addition, I’ve been invited to serve in several part-time advisory roles post ICANN.” Please list these advisory role offers. > > 6. Have you received any financial compensation or reimbursement including travel, wages, salaries, commission, or professional fees in your capacity as co-chair for the advisory committee? > > 7. Have you sought, negotiated, or discussed prospective employment or business opportunities with the Chinese government or any member of the advisory committee? > > 8. Given the Chinese government’s history of censorship and suppression of free speech, is it appropriate to participate in the World Internet Conference while serving as the Chief Executive Officer of ICANN? > > 9.

What I think is more interesting to examine is whether there is a moral or political or diplomatic imperative not to engage with organizations associated with humans rights violations of varying degree. Particularly as a default assumption as this letter implies rather than as the result of some transparent process with public statement. It often comes up vis a vis meeting venues as one example. Why is thus-and-such organization having a meeting located in (country with IMO significant human rights issues?!?!) I'm not certain about this easy leap and whether or not engagement may be preferable to boycott. P.S. Yes I realize Senator Cruz is almost certainly grandstanding for some publicity to help his current presidential run but that's besides the point even if it is the point. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs at TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo* -------------- next part -------------- ____________________________________________________________ You received this message as a subscriber on the list: governance at lists.igcaucus.org To be removed from the list, visit: http://www.igcaucus.org/unsubscribing For all other list information and functions, see: http://lists.igcaucus.org/info/governance To edit your profile and to find the IGC's charter, see: http://www.igcaucus.org/ Translate this email: http://translate.google.com/translate_t From analia.aspis at gmail.com Sun Feb 7 15:27:10 2016 From: analia.aspis at gmail.com (Analia Aspis) Date: Sun, 7 Feb 2016 17:27:10 -0300 Subject: [governance] Update on co-coordination elections Message-ID: Dear group, We are still solving some technical issues this week and the next in order to have a tool that will enable members to vote.

This is a huge issue, but more likely to be solved by a continuing succession of very small steps coupled with a lot of good will. India after all has 15 official languages as well as several hundred that are "unofficial". "Shaping InformationSocieties for HumanNeeds" Civil Society Declaration to the World Summit on the Information Society WSIS Civil Society Plenary Geneva, 8 December 2003 "information and communication societies that are people-centred, inclusive and equitable. Societies in which everyone can freely create, access, utilise, share and disseminate information and knowledge, so that individuals, communities and peoples are empowered to improve their quality of life and to achieve their full potential. Societies founded on the principles of social, political, and economic justice, and peoples' full participation and empowerment, and thus societies that truly address the key development challenges facing the world today. ... Building such societies implies involving individuals in their capacity as citizens, as well as their organisations and communities, as participants and decision-makers in shaping frameworks, policies and governing mechanisms. This means creating an enabling environment for the engagement and commitment of all generations, both women and men, and ensuring the involvement of diverse social and linguistic groups, cultures and peoples, rural and urban populations without exclusion. ... 2.3.1.2 Language Plurality of languages is at the core of vibrant information and communication societies. ICTs can be applied to bridge cultural and linguistic divides, given the right priorities. In the past, ICT development has too often reinforced inequalities, such as dominance of roman letter based languages (especially English) and marginalization of local, regional and minority languages. Priority should be given in ICT research and development to overcoming barriers and addressing inequalities between languages and cultures." https://www.itu.int/net/wsis/docs/geneva/civil-society-declaration.pdf On 8 February 2016 at 18:44, wrote: > I'd like to notice that the contribution forms are exclusively in English. > That means that only English speaking (and wriiting) people can valuably > submit their views and proposals. > > > > And nobody on the CS lists here is protesting against this scandalous > situation.

Incidentally, the cheapest phone today (maybe in Nigeria only) accesses Web pages. Many of them come with Facebook pre-installed, and once you insert and activate a SIM card, the telecom service provider (telco) usually automatically sends configuration info to enable browsing. Facebook succeeded in partnering with several telcos in Nigeria to allow phone users to access Facebook at no charge other than the user has some credits to make calls with the phone. Below is one SMS from one telco to all its customers in this regard: "FREE FACEBOOK Dial*206*00# for messaging status update wall posts!...Click http://u2o.in/APP2U.72.BCBCBC" As Mwendwa remarked, data charges are coming low in some countries. This is one result of competition, which we want governments to increase through policies that encourage emergence of more telcos. Telcos in Nigeria give an average of 15MB for 100 Nigerian Naira (below 50cents) at present. Though this is still out of many people's reach, many other people have been connected through it.

It also asserted its regulatory control over data services, which would be provided as a regulated public utility. This is a historic decision setting a high bar for maintaining complete Net Neutrality, and thus sanctifying the Internet in the Indian law, as a model of equal and non-discriminatory communication, information-exchange and networking. The Internet was always supposed to be so, but as it became the anchor of society-wide digital transformations, and thus a carrier of untold value and riches, it has been sought to be captured by big business in an exclusive market paradigm. This decision safeguards the Internet as being first an egalitarian social artifact, providing a social and economic level playing field for all, before it is a market good. The original net neutrality concern was with the quality of service-based discrimination, making for a tiered Internet. Strong advocacy the world-over resulted in telcos losing this battle. By early 2015, it appeared evident that quality-based differentiation was simply not going to pass public and regulatory muster. Quickly shifting their strategy, even the telcos begun to profess net neutrality, but seeking such exceptions that could still enable revenues from the content providers' side, which was their main objective. They argued that price-based discrimination, including zero rating, did not violate net neutrality because all content got the same quality of service. Taking a middle ground, regulators in the US and EU, and most other countries, while ex ante outlawing quality-based discrimination, left price-based discrimination to be subjected to ex post consideration, on a case to case basis. Promoters of price-based discrimination claimed that such practices are especially important for developing countries, helping their huge unconnected population come online faster. Facebook’s grand campaign promoting its zero-rated “Free Basics” service become the most visible manifestation of this particular spin. The most striking feature of Trai’s ruling is that it has upended this logic. Noting that jurisdictions like the US and EU had left differential pricing for ex post consideration, the TRAI held the case of a developing country like India, with a huge unconnected population, to be more (rather than less) appropriate for banning differential pricing because such conditions especially allow the telcos to, problematically, “shape the users' Internet experience”. Maintaining that “what cannot be done directly, cannot also be done indirectly”, the ruling bans even models offering deferred free data allowance for accessing specific services which can later be used for accessing full Internet. The ruling is thus perhaps the most clear and absolute anywhere in the world in fully protecting what it calls as “the unique architecture of the Internet”, and allowing no loopholes. So strong is the economic attraction of gate-keeping data services that the slightest loophole would certainly be blasted into a gaping hole by big telcos and Net businesses, disfiguring Internet’s egalitarian architecture. Rejecting the argument that Trai should act only ex post, on a case to case basis, it went with the contrary view that “differential tariff for data services goes against the basic features of the Internet and it needs to be restricted upfront on account of the far reaching consequences that it is bound to have on the structure of the Internet and the rights of stakeholders. Once such practices are allowed, it may not be possible to quantify, measure or remedy the consequences in the short to medium term.” With TRAI clarifying that data services would remain an undifferentiated commodity, telcos should now focus on extending the infrastructure and improving overall quality of service rather than eying revenue potential from the content providers' side. It gives both the data and content businesses a much needed certainty. This is especially important for the telcos in view of the forthcoming spectrum auction. The regulator has said that it will now examine quality of service based discrimination, the original net neutrality issue. However, having disallowed price-based discrimination, it is unthinkable how a regulator can allow quality-based discrimination, which is a more core net neutrality violation. A similar short regulatory order on quality-based discrimination, based on Trai’s existing powers, should firmly close the matter. Some misgivings have been expressed about the exemption of closed networks from the price discrimination ban. Can a telco develop its own channels of content and applications, outside the public Internet, available only to its own customers? The regulator insists that it will ensure that this exception is not misused for specifically undermining the spirit of the ruling. This is the ‘specialised services’ issue which other countries are also considering, and would require further discussions. Special networks like for tele-health services and motor-vehicle automation are cited as possibly requiring a different treatment. Emergency situations are also exempted by the ruling: personal ones, like health and personal safety related, and collective, like floods and earthquakes. This leaves open a window for other possible public interest exceptions, like essential public services, as designated by the regulator. As most public services go digital, it makes sense to ensure access to them free of data charges, as a citizen’s right. The ruling is silent on the question raised in the regulator's consultation about alternative ways to provide connectivity for the currently excluded, which received a lot of public inputs. This is understandable because this is a regulatory decision, on something within the regulator's own power. Alternative ways for expanding connectivity has to be in the form of TRAI's recommendations to the government, and taken up separately. However, this is an important and urgent issue raised by the “Free Basics” controversy, which should be addressed comprehensively and quickly. */(The writer is with Bengaluru-based NGO, IT for Change)/* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please do update us. So, the problem is at my end. I've been volunteering to help the co-cos with the IGC's server, and the link between the database of members (technically it is an LDAP database) and the polling software (LimeSurvey) has somehow broken since last election. I haven't been able to work out why, or to fix it. If anyone can offer their expertise to diagnose the problem, that would be appreciated. -- Jeremy Malcolm Senior Global Policy Analyst Electronic Frontier Foundation https://eff.org jmalcolm at eff.org Tel: 415.436.9333 ext 161 :: Defending Your Rights in the Digital World :: Public key: https://www.eff.org/files/2014/10/09/key_jmalcolm.txt PGP fingerprint: FF13 C2E9 F9C3 DF54 7C4F EAC1 F675 AAE2 D2AB 2220 OTR fingerprint: 26EE FD85 3740 8228 9460 49A8 536F BCD2 536F A5BD Learn how to encrypt your email with the Email Self Defense guide: https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org/en -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We oppose this order, which has implications far beyond the legal case at hand. This moment calls for public discussion, and we want our customers and people around the country to understand what is at stake. The Need for Encryption Smartphones, led by iPhone, have become an essential part of our lives. People use them to store an incredible amount of personal information, from our private conversations to our photos, our music, our notes, our calendars and contacts, our financial information and health data, even where we have been and where we are going. All that information needs to be protected from hackers and criminals who want to access it, steal it, and use it without our knowledge or permission. Customers expect Apple and other technology companies to do everything in our power to protect their personal information, and at Apple we are deeply committed to safeguarding their data. Compromising the security of our personal information can ultimately put our personal safety at risk. That is why encryption has become so important to all of us. For many years, we have used encryption to protect our customers’ personal data because we believe it’s the only way to keep their information safe. We have even put that data out of our own reach, because we believe the contents of your iPhone are none of our business. The San Bernardino Case We were shocked and outraged by the deadly act of terrorism in San Bernardino last December. We mourn the loss of life and want justice for all those whose lives were affected. The FBI asked us for help in the days following the attack, and we have worked hard to support the government’s efforts to solve this horrible crime. We have no sympathy for terrorists. When the FBI has requested data that’s in our possession, we have provided it. Apple complies with valid subpoenas and search warrants, as we have in the San Bernardino case. We have also made Apple engineers available to advise the FBI, and we’ve offered our best ideas on a number of investigative options at their disposal. We have great respect for the professionals at the FBI, and we believe their intentions are good. Up to this point, we have done everything that is both within our power and within the law to help them. But now the U.S. government has asked us for something we simply do not have, and something we consider too dangerous to create. They have asked us to build a backdoor to the iPhone. Specifically, the FBI wants us to make a new version of the iPhone operating system, circumventing several important security features, and install it on an iPhone recovered during the investigation. In the wrong hands, this software — which does not exist today — would have the potential to unlock any iPhone in someone’s physical possession. The FBI may use different words to describe this tool, but make no mistake: Building a version of iOS that bypasses security in this way would undeniably create a backdoor. And while the government may argue that its use would be limited to this case, there is no way to guarantee such control. The Threat to Data Security Some would argue that building a backdoor for just one iPhone is a simple, clean-cut solution. But it ignores both the basics of digital security and the significance of what the government is demanding in this case. In today’s digital world, the “key” to an encrypted system is a piece of information that unlocks the data, and it is only as secure as the protections around it. Once the information is known, or a way to bypass the code is revealed, the encryption can be defeated by anyone with that knowledge. The government suggests this tool could only be used once, on one phone. But that’s simply not true. Once created, the technique could be used over and over again, on any number of devices. In the physical world, it would be the equivalent of a master key, capable of opening hundreds of millions of locks — from restaurants and banks to stores and homes. No reasonable person would find that acceptable. The government is asking Apple to hack our own users and undermine decades of security advancements that protect our customers — including tens of millions of American citizens — from sophisticated hackers and cybercriminals. The same engineers who built strong encryption into the iPhone to protect our users would, ironically, be ordered to weaken those protections and make our users less safe. We can find no precedent for an American company being forced to expose its customers to a greater risk of attack. For years, cryptologists and national security experts have been warning against weakening encryption. Doing so would hurt only the well-meaning and law-abiding citizens who rely on companies like Apple to protect their data. Criminals and bad actors will still encrypt, using tools that are readily available to them. A Dangerous Precedent Rather than asking for legislative action through Congress, the FBI is proposing an unprecedented use of the All Writs Act of 1789 to justify an expansion of its authority. The government would have us remove security features and add new capabilities to the operating system, allowing a passcode to be input electronically. This would make it easier to unlock an iPhone by “brute force,” trying thousands or millions of combinations with the speed of a modern computer. The implications of the government’s demands are chilling. If the government can use the All Writs Act to make it easier to unlock your iPhone, it would have the power to reach into anyone’s device to capture their data. The government could extend this breach of privacy and demand that Apple build surveillance software to intercept your messages, access your health records or financial data, track your location, or even access your phone’s microphone or camera without your knowledge. Opposing this order is not something we take lightly. We feel we must speak up in the face of what we see as an overreach by the U.S. government. We are challenging the FBI’s demands with the deepest respect for American democracy and a love of our country. We believe it would be in the best interest of everyone to step back and consider the implications. While we believe the FBI’s intentions are good, it would be wrong for the government to force us to build a backdoor into our products. And ultimately, we fear that this demand would undermine the very freedoms and liberty our government is meant to protect.

I am nominating myself and willing to serve as Co-coordinator of IGC for this period.  I have more than the required skills and expertise to function very well in this capacity. Working as an IT consultant has equipped me to understand the rudiments of IT technologies (software, hardware and humanware). Have been privileged to facilitate international online discussions (FIN4AGRIC); served as social media coordinator of remote IGF events in Calabar, Nigeria; joined (NCSG) and contributes at several webinars and a strong advocate from remote participation. Have taken several courses including but not limited to IT, education, management, climate change, policy and implementation which has widened my knowledge to function (DiploFoundation, Worldbank Institute, YaliNetwork etc). I possess listening hear, patience, ability to resolve conflicts, task prioritization, time management, and sense of judgment. In order to be successful in any position and achieve results, there's need for strong relationship. As a coordinator for IGC for 2016 - 2018, I will strive to build strong relationship among IGC Members that will ensure strong discussion and early consensus while ensuring everyone voice and needs is given attention. I seek your support all. Best regards. 2. Carlos Vera Quintana Carlos Vera Quintana, Ecuadorian, Electronic Engineer, Master in International Relations and an active participant in national and international forums on IG for over 15 years. I'm international director of the Internet Society Ecuador Chapter since 1999 and participated in organizations such as Icann, GIGANET, LACRALO, WITSA, etc. I have been a board member of various business, professional, civil society and government organization, so I can say I know these areas very closely with practical work and results.

Since 2012, my organization has convened the annual ITU’s Girls in ICT day events and is a member organization that is part of their Child Online Protection (COP) initiative across Africa.LinkedIn Public profile : www.linkedin.com/pub/arsene-tungali/40/825/344/Blog : http://tungali.blogspot.com - Why you think you would make a good co-coordinator for the IGC I have known the IGC for quite a bit now and I believe we need a new co-co who has the time, passion, dedication and have vision to bring us to the place we belong to in the IG sphere as a civil society body. I humbly think I have some of the above mentioned qualities and I am willing to contribute to the work we are doing here, alongside Analia, who has proved how capable she is. That’s why I am asking you to give me this opportunity to serve you.Some of the points I would like to bring to your attention about why I think I am good for this VOLUNTEERING position are as follow: - I am young, full of energy and have time to commit to this task. I might be the first young person (correct me if I am wrong) to be willing to take this role. Being young, I am open, ready and willing to learn from all of you, - While I understand English is the primary working language here, I am a French and English speaker which gives me the ability to easily engage with people who have French as their primary language as myself, - I have been told more than once that I am slow to speak, always taking time to think twice before I jump into a discussion. I know moderators ought to have that as quality, - I have basic analytical capacity and in my background have been doing similar work in the real world, which gives me the capability to do it in a virtual world, - I have been coordinating various groups and organizations from the civil society world which gives me better understanding of how to bring together different point of view and make a good summary, - I am closely following discussions from other CS groups and I am trying to be up-to-date with developments in the IG world and the global Internet ecosystem. To name just few, these are some of the points that make me believe I can be a good co-coordinator for the IGC and contribute to make it what it ought to be based on our Charter. I am a constant learner and will be always learning from your experience, willing to work with anyone available. - My vision for the IGC I want to contribute in helping the IGC to remain the Civil Society group of reference in the Internet Governance ecosystem, where people will be free to speak and express themselves with no fear to be frightened.I want the IGC to be a place where new people (members) interested in the IG can be able to learn and to contribute to discussions with no need to have advanced IG background. I will work to be able to create a good atmosphere in the group to make it a safe place for real and constructive conversations.I will work on bringing back those registered members who are no longer contributing to discussions although their inputs are needed to make informed decisions as a group. I will work on finding the reasons why they are no longer contributing and will make sure we bring them back.I will work on verifying email addresses of members and make sure they are updated because so many have either changed or are no longer using their original email address. Reaching out to them will help us update the list and have new insights from other members.Finally, I will be working with the current co-co to bring to reality some other ideas I have, some of them were shared on this list after the Brazil meeting where few IGC members met to talk and discuss IGC issues. I was privileged to be part of that meeting.---------------------------------------------------------- ____________________________________________________________ You received this message as a subscriber on the list:     governance at lists.igcaucus.org To be removed from the list, visit:     http://www.igcaucus.org/unsubscribing For all other list information and functions, see:     http://lists.igcaucus.org/info/governance To edit your profile and to find the IGC's charter, see:     http://www.igcaucus.org/ Translate this email: http://translate.google.com/translate_t -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I was just wondering why some nominees have a brief on their statement of interest while one has almost all the content of application shared on this forum. I was thinking the briefs should have a limited wordings to give everyone a level playing ground on 'why they want to serve'. Or is someone already an insider before the match? As much I appreciate the effort of your team including DD to make this transition work, I think we should have coordinated better than what I am seeing which is bereft of a level playing grounds. My two cents.

In my high school certificate Economics exam, I barely wrote more than one-half of the answer booklet in answering the required 5 questions. Most students used up the booklet, asked for and used additional sheets several times. When results came out, I outscored all those students. While I respect Remmy's concern and welcome Analia's acceptance of his observation that I believe is also visible to many of us, I think verbosity has little role in our assessment of the candidates. Only let's strive to avoid the erroneous thought that he who writes more has more points. Let's be careful to allow thoughtful evaluation, strictly based on the given job description, to detect our votes. As Analia reminded us, the candidates were given an open floor to present their qualifications, and each used it as much as he/she could.

Akinremi Peter Taiwo As we all know that there is need for new co-coordinator to serve for 2016 - 2018. I am nominating myself and willing to serve as Co-coordinator of IGC for this period. I have more than the required skills and expertise to function very well in this capacity. Working as an IT consultant has equipped me to understand the rudiments of IT technologies (software, hardware and humanware). Have been privileged to facilitate international online discussions (FIN4AGRIC); served as social media coordinator of remote IGF events in Calabar, Nigeria; joined (NCSG) and contributes at several webinars and a strong advocate from remote participation. Have taken several courses including but not limited to IT, education, management, climate change, policy and implementation which has widened my knowledge to function (DiploFoundation, Worldbank Institute, YaliNetwork etc). I possess listening hear, patience, ability to resolve conflicts, task prioritization, time management, and sense of judgment. In order to be successful in any position and achieve results, there's need for strong relationship. As a coordinator for IGC for 2016 - 2018, I will strive to build strong relationship among IGC Members that will ensure strong discussion and early consensus while ensuring everyone voice and needs is given attention.

But not doing that could not be equated to unfairness, IMHO. Fairness or leveling the playing field here was to give every candidate the choice to write as much as they want and see fit for a self-introduction addressing a number of required items. Each candidate is empowered to choose what she or he thinks would work best for them, so I fail to see how's that a lack of fairness. Totally agree with CPUN. These are static documents, not like in a debate where candidates need to be given equal airtime. It might just turn out that in this case, being concised and focused to the point be a plus for a candidate in the mind of many voters. And possibly not much so for many others. That will be the voter's choice and whatever the outcome, I doubt it can be solidly argued that such outcome is the result of a biased process due to the absence of word count limit for all contenders.

So, so far I just receive a mail from the CSCG (but we did not start to work) and from yesterday I will be excluded from their list and Deidre will represent IGC until the selection process is finished, so she will be in charge for the following weeks and then I will recover IGC representation upong CSCG.

On the one hand, cities face overcrowding, physical and environmental resource constraints and increasing pressure on the part of governments and businesses toward ensuring continuing economic growth. On the other hand, rural areas may become depopulated and have a hard time keeping up with changes in business technology and management. Connected Communities is an emerging research area investigating design, deployment and management techniques for establishing and maintaining an ICT infrastructure supporting a highly connected, data-intensive and sustainable urban community. It also considers BURD-Bridging the Urban Rural Divide - looking at means to leverage the advances in wireless and mobile communications to engage and sustain rural communities. A major objective of this research is this enabling urban and rural ICT infrastructures to seamlessly support all processes and services needed for citizens' safety, health, security and quality of life. Desirable properties of the ICT infrastructure underlying such services include (i) full scalability by elastic allocation of resources (such as sensors, actuators, virtual network and computing devices) (ii) sustainability and energy-efficiency (iii) effective real-time monitoring and control (iv) certifiable security and privacy. For example, supporting people mobility across BURD spaces requires handling in an integrated manner historic and real-time sensor data on traffic and road conditions, open data on weather, and user feedback, reconciling the need for high density of sensor network with its sustainability energy and maintenance-wise. The ACM TOIT Special Issue on "Emerging Technologies for Connected Communities" aims to provide a unique opportunity for presenting highly innovative research, unlocking the huge potential of ICT infrastructure toward establishing and running communities supporting participation, prosperity, sustainability, health and well-being. We list below some indicative topics of interest organized by themes. * Connected Communities Infrastructure and Supporting Technologies - Internet of Everything (Iox) And Anything/Everything As A Service (Xaas) For Connected Communities - Sustainable Large-Scale Sensor Networks For Urban Environments - High Performance Computing/Networking For Sensor Data Processing - Service Frameworks for Connected Communities - Privacy-Preservation In The Urban Infrastructure - Security and Resilience Of The Communications Infrastructure * Connected Communities Service Frameworks and Protocols to Integrate Rural Communities - Solutions for Urban Data Storage and Access - IoT-to-BURD Supply Chain - Ontology-Based Fusion of Smart City Datasets - Connected Community Governance and Management * Connected Communities Applications - Citizen Participation and E-Democracy - Healthcare and Lifestyle Data Processing and Analysis - Support for Entrepreneurship and Innovation - Cloud-Based Analytics for Urban Decision-Making - Real-Time Scalable Analytics for Large-Scale Datasets ** Deadlines Submissions: April 30th, 2016 First decisions: July 15th, 2016 Revisions: October 1st, 2016 Final decisions: December 1st, 2016 Publication materials due: January 1st, 2017 ** Sunmission To submit a paper,please follow the instructions on http://toit.acm.org/submission.html ** Guest Editors - Ernesto Damiani, Khalifa University,UAE http://www.kustar.ac.ae/pages/prof-ernesto-damiani - Ryszard Kowalczyk, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia http://www.ict.swin.edu.au/centres/success/iat/tiki-index.php?page=rkowalczy k - Gerard Parr, University of Ulster, UK https://www.ulster.ac.uk/staff/gp.parr.html ** Contact Please send queries about this CFP to toit.asc.ge at gmail.com ** ACM TOIT Editor in Chief Munindar P.Singh Department of Computer Science North Carolina State University mpsingh at acm.org http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/mpsingh/ -------------- next part -------------- ____________________________________________________________ You received this message as a subscriber on the list: governance at lists.igcaucus.org To be removed from the list, visit: http://www.igcaucus.org/unsubscribing For all other list information and functions, see: http://lists.igcaucus.org/info/governance To edit your profile and to find the IGC's charter, see: http://www.igcaucus.org/ Translate this email: http://translate.google.com/translate_t From compsoftnet at gmail.com Mon Feb 22 03:59:12 2016 From: compsoftnet at gmail.com (Akinremi Peter Taiwo) Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2016 09:59:12 +0100 Subject: [governance] Final list of candidates for co-coordinator IGC In-Reply-To: References: <57233382.11482954.1455994079126.JavaMail.yahoo@mail.yahoo.com> <56c984e7.520e1c0a.f15d.5f95@mx.google.com> Message-ID: Congratulations in advance to the winner!!!!!

Fairness or leveling the playing field here was to give every candidate the choice to write as much as they want and see fit for a self-introduction addressing a number of required items. Each candidate is empowered to choose what she or he thinks would work best for them, so I fail to see how's that a lack of fairness. >> >> Totally agree with CPUN. These are static documents, not like in a debate where candidates need to be given equal airtime. It might just turn out that in this case, being concised and focused to the point be a plus for a candidate in the mind of many voters. And possibly not much so for many others. That will be the voter's choice and whatever the outcome, I doubt it can be solidly argued that such outcome is the result of a biased process due to the absence of word count limit for all contenders. >> >> Mawaki >> ~Delivered to you by my droid agent. >> >> On Feb 21, 2016 9:36 AM, "Remmy Nweke" wrote: >>> >>> Thanks Analia for the response. >>> >>> @CPU its not about the ability to write it not, its about fair play in terms of providing equal opportunity . >>> Thanks God Analia intervened promptly >>> Happy Sunday to all. >>> ________________________________ >>> From: Analia Aspis >>> Sent: ‎21/‎02/‎2016 03:23 >>> To: governance at lists.igcaucus.org; Remmy Nweke >>> Cc: Arsene TUNGALI (Yahoo) >>> Subject: Re: Final list of candidates for co-coordinator IGC >>> >>> Dear Remmy, >>> >>> Thank you very much for your comment.

This will continue work done by an earlier CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation, that was active from 2013-2014. and current CSTD Chair, Peter Major of Hungary, has indicated that he will establish the new working group in a similar fashion, with 20 UN Member States and *5 representatives from each of the four identified stakeholder groups* (business, civil society, intergovernmental organizations, the technical & academic community). In this sense, *the IGC will be receiving candidates who are interested to be considered as a posible representant of the civil societe. As we did before for the MAG process, I will be encharge to presente the short list to the CSCG nominations committe*. *Independent Civil Society experts* (i.e. those who are not nominated by a civil society network or other community* are welcome to send self-nominations directly to the CSCG nomcom* (email address: noncom06 at internetgov-cs.org) *How the nomination format should be?* Nominations should include a short bio of one paragraph, one paragraph of motivation to be a civil society representative to the WG, one paragraph describing substantive proposals or a vision on “how to further implement enhanced cooperation as envisioned in the Tunis Agenda”, and one paragraph describing experience or qualifications to represent civil society on the WG. Name, gender, regional/geographical, as well as any appropriate affiliation information and contact information should be included as well. Proficiency in English is necessary for communications within the Working Group. *Deadline*: 14 March (23:59 UTC) Details of the UNCATAD call: available here *Important!*: I as have sent in a previous mail, from the 15 March and until the CSCG noncom establish the final list of the candidates to presenst to WG, since I am willing to present my name to the CSCG, I will not represesnt IGC in the selection of the final candidates but Deidre will.

So I think (Analia, De, others, correct me if I'm wrong or not clear) that the IGC should post its procedures for endorsement and shortlisting so we (IGC members) know how shortlist endorsements will be chosen, before sending the shortlist (of about 3 candidates) to the CSCG for civil society consideration. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me (about the CSCG) or better yet, to post here to the list. The 15 March deadline for the shortlist is firm :), so although Analia has given a deadline of 14 March to give IGC members plenty of time to consider nominating, please try to post your nomination earlier, so that the IGC has time to discuss and prepare the shortlist by the 15th. The time for discussion is now, so that this process gets better each time we go through it. If you might be interested in self-nominating, please start discussing on the list, and sharing any additional concerns or information. If you think a colleague might be interested, my personal preference (as an individual) is that you communicate with that person, and suggest that they think about it and self-nominate if they would like to do so. Again, as a personal opinion, self nominations indicate a willingness and commitment that being nominated by another does not show so clearly. Thanks for getting involved! This is our opportunity to voice individual and CS concerns on enhanced cooperation!

There are some differences of views about what parts of the Tunis agenda cover the 'enhanced cooperation' issue, and what exactly do they imply. However, there should be no dispute that it is 1. About global Internet related public policy making. Since, anything can best or most closely be defined by its function. 2. Since a function needs a (or some) mechanism(s), and the latter precedes the former, it is about mechanism(s) of global Internet related public policy making. Indeed, within the above there can be differences on the appropriate 'forms' of such mechanism(s). But on the two above, I would think, there should be no differences. That is what the 'enhanced cooperation' issue is about. And that is what this working group on enhanced cooperation is all about. parminder > >> On 26 Feb 2016, at 04:35, parminder > > wrote: >> >> >> >> On Friday 26 February 2016 04:30 AM, jlfullsack at wanadoo.fr wrote: >>> >>> Dear all >>> >>> >>> >>> If I'm not mistaken, the CSTD working group is to dealing with WSIS >>> goals in general, not only in the IG domain. >>> >> >> Dear Jean-Louis >> >> The Working group in is fact not only just about IG, but about a >> relatively narrow domain within IG - the issue of global Internet >> related policy making, the what and how of it. >> >> best regards, parminder >> >> >>> In this case the nomination of the 5 CS represntatives should not >>> happen inside ot the IGC but among CS orgs and WSIS agreed CS delegates. >>> >>> >>> >>> Best greetings >>> >>> >>> >>> Jean-Louis Fullsack >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> > Message du 24/02/16 15:12 >>> > De : "Analia Aspis" >>> > A : "" >>> >>> > Copie à : >>> > Objet : [governance] Call for Nominations for civil >>> representatives - CSTD WG on Enhanced Cooperation >>> > >>> > >>> Dear members, >>> > >>> > The outcome document of the United Nations General Assembly’s >>> ten-year review of the World Summit on the Information Society >>> (WSIS) in 2015 included a direction for the Chair of the >>> Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) to >>> "establish a working group to develop recommendations on how to >>> further implement enhanced cooperation as envisioned in the >>> Tunis Agenda” .

My experience - others’ may take a different view - is that what underlies the ‘enhanced cooperation’ issues are fundamentally different views about the role of the state in society in different countries and as a consequence the role of governments vis a vis other stakeholders in the formation of policy. I don’t think these fundamental differences are unique to the Internet or originated with Internet policy, and as a consequence I don’t think we will see a resolution of those fundamental issues in this working group - or perhaps in any other multilateral process. All of this is by way of saying i wish those of you who choose to invest the time in this new WG the best. I suspect for the above reasons that it will be unable to produce much forward movement, but I would love to be wrong. > On 26 Feb 2016, at 07:50, parminder wrote: > > > > On Friday 26 February 2016 11:41 AM, Nick Ashton-Hart wrote: >> I think there’s a good argument to make that the working group’s remit is even narrower than your (Parminder’s) definition below, given the definition of “Enhanced Cooperation” in the WSIS documents. > > There are some differences of views about what parts of the Tunis agenda cover the 'enhanced cooperation' issue, and what exactly do they imply.

Cheers, Stuart IFLA issues Statement on Right to be Forgotten 简体中文 The “Right to be Forgotten” refers to an individual’s ability to request that a search engine (or other data provider) remove links to information about himself or herself from search results. IFLA’s Governing Board has approved a statement on the “Right to be Forgotten” that highlights crucial issues that libraries must consider when participating in discussions about data privacy, and identifies areas of concern that could have negative effects on long-term access to information. IFLA has noted the global application of the Right to be Forgotten within court rulings and legislation and has also issued a background paper to accompany the statement. The right to be forgotten raises issues for libraries including the integrity of and access to the historical record, freedom of access to information and freedom of expression, and individual privacy. Information on the public Internet may have value for the public or for professional researchers and so should, in general, not be intentionally hidden, removed or destroyed. IFLA finds that freedom of access to information cannot be honoured where information is removed from availability or is destroyed. IFLA accepts the necessity of protecting the privacy of living persons, the confidentiality of business and the security of government information insofar as these goals do not conflict with a higher public good. IFLA urges library professionals to participate in policy discussions about the right to be forgotten, while both supporting the right to privacy for individual citizens and assisting individuals in their searches for information. To this effect, library professionals should: * Raise awareness among policy makers to ensure that the right to be forgotten does not apply where retaining links in search engine results is necessary for historical, statistical and research purposes; for reasons of public interest; or for the exercise of the right of freedom of expression. * Fully support access to information for researchers who require personally identifiable information for biographical, genealogical and other research and publications, and advocate to policy makers when policy related to the right to be forgotten may result in the destruction or loss of access to information for these purposes. * Oppose the removal of links from the results of name searches of public figures. * Advocate for transparency in the criteria and processes used by search engines in RTBF decisions. * Continue to promote the practice of name indexing to ensure the continued availability of content for historical and research purposes. * Advise library users, in national or regional contexts where a right to be forgotten regime may be in force, to search the Internet through more than one national instance of a search engine, and with a variety of search terms, so as to maximize their chances of locating desired information that may have been published on the Internet. * Support individuals who request assistance in finding more information on the application of the right to be forgotten to their individual circumstances. Read the full IFLA Statement on the Right to be Forgotten and the background paper: * Full Statement * Background paper [PDF] The statement was jointly drafted by members of the IFLA Freedom of Access to Information and Freedom of Expression (FAIFE) committee and the Copyright and Other Legal Matters (CLM) committee. Additional translations of the IFLA Statement on the Right to be Forgotten to follow shortly.

Much discussion centred on the replacement of the Inaugural Co-ordination Council – suggestions included a smaller flatter structure, a renaming (Advisory Group was favoured by some); this is going to be the subject of a public consultation in coming weeks before this is finalised. I also personally welcome the idea, promoted by Wolfgang Kleinwachter, of a NMI+5 conference in 2019, and look forward to discussions on how that might take place.

"The membership requirements for amending the charter are based on the most currently available voters list. In amending the charter, everyone who voted in the previous election will be deemed a member for amending the charter." This is why Parminder sent a reminder of the need for a "None" option, so that everyone who wishes can vote in the election without being forced to make a choice. Thank you again Parminder. Therefore should you wish to involve yourself in a possible future vote on amending the Charter, it is CRITICALLY IMPORTANT that you register a vote in this election by identifying yourself as a member of the IGC, and selecting one of the three candidates or "None of the above".

I haven't heard that much about the work done by the Inaugural co-ordination team, and now i note it needs to be changed. I am sorry if i missed anything. I personally think there is a lot that needs to be done in making this initiative a real platform bringing something new in the IG ecosystem, rather than just another platform. I am also wondering what role Fadi Chehade will continue to play (if any) now that he is stepping out of ICANN as CEO. I remember he (ICANN?) played a key role in the early steps of the NMI. I really look forward to hearing more in the coming days/months; especially on the idea of a NMi+5 conference that i am curious to know more about.

Please follow the directions as stipulated by the call. Thank you and best wishes, Deirdre CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: UN Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation The Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG) is seeking civil society nominations from developed and developing countries as well as from economies in transition, all geographic areas, and policy orientations to serve as civil society representatives on the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation (WGEC). Information about the working group can be found at: http://unctad.org/en/pages/newsdetails.aspx?OriginalVersionID=1193. More information about the WG proposal can be found at: http://unctad.org/meetings/en/Presentation/CSTD_2015_s11_Major_en.pdf Peter Major, the Chair of the CSTD, has appointed CSCG as the focal point for appointments of Civil Society representatives on the WGEC, and CSCG has correspondingly established a nominations committee (Nomcom) for this selection task. We are seeking one CS representative from each of the five geographical areas: Africa, Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe, GRULAC, and WEOG. While the exact timeframe for the working group has not been established, nominees are asked to consider a service period of 2016-2017 (and eventually the beginning of 2018). Nominations should be submitted to the CSCG’s nominations committee via the email address nomcom06 [at] internetgov-cs [dot] org no later than 15 March 2016, or via one of the member coalitions (IGC, Best Bits, JNC, NCSG, APC) following their procedures. Independent civil society experts (i.e. those who are not nominated by a civil society organisation or network) are welcome to send self-nominations directly to the CSCG nomcom by the same deadline. Nominations should include a short bio of one paragraph, one paragraph of motivation to be a civil society representative to the WGEC, one paragraph describing substantive proposals or a vision on “how to further implement enhanced cooperation as envisioned in the Tunis Agenda”, and one paragraph describing experience or qualifications to represent civil society on the WGEC. Name, gender, regional/geographical, as well as any appropriate affiliation information and contact information should be included as well. Nominees will be evaluated using the information submitted. Final selection will consider gender and geographical location, to ensure an appropriate balance. About CSCG and the NomCom for the UN WGEC: The Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG) exists solely to ensure a coordinated civil society response and conduit when it comes to making civil society appointments to outside bodies. It comprises representatives of the coalition members of the Best Bits, Association for Progressive Communications, Internet Governance Caucus, Just Net Coalition, and Non-Commercial Stakeholders Group of ICANN. As per the CSCG's procedures (available at http://internetgov-cs.org/procedures), for any selection task, the CSCG will determine selection criteria and announce them as part of a call for candidates, which will then be circulated as appropriate, in this case as broadly as possible across as many different constituencies as possible. Selection criteria for WGEC: --substantive proposals or a vision on “how to further implement enhanced cooperation as envisioned in the Tunis Agenda” --experience in or qualifications to represent civil society on the WG --English language proficiency is necessary for communications within the WGEC The CSTD Chair has indicated that continuation of institutional memory as a criteria and that former members of the previous working group be included in the selection to the extent possible. It is understood that nominees must be able to attend meetings of the WGEC. While remote participation will most probably be available, the UN CSTD Chair notes that remote participation may not be very efficient in cases of intensive debates and drafting. The Secretariat of the CSTD will try and find means to facilitate participation from developing countries. All members of the CSCG nomination committee are required to consider the interests of civil society as a whole, and not just those of their own coalition, in determining appropriate representatives. The nomination committee will take into account geographic and gender balance in determining their final selections, while considering also the need for the breadth of viewpoints/worldviews represented within civil society to be represented. Please feel free to contact us if you need further information or to discuss how we can work together to ensure our mutual objective to ensure the best possible civil society representation on this Working Group. The co-chairs of CSCG, Ginger Paque and Ian Peter, are available for inquiries. The members of the CSCG nomcom for the CSTD WGEC are: Deirdre Williams, representative of the Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus (IGC), and recent Co-Coordinator of the IGC Chat Garcia Ramilo, representative of the Association for Progressive Communications (APC), and Deputy Executive Director of APC Ginger (Virginia) Paque, non-voting Co-Chair of CSCG, and with Diplo Foundation, Internet Governance Programmes (contact: virginiap [at] diplomacy [dot] edu) Ian Peter, non-voting Co-Chair of CSCG, independent (contact: ian [dot] peter [at] ianpeter [dot com) Nadira Alaraj, representative of Best Bits Norbert Bollow, representative of the Just Net Coalition (JNC), and Co-Convenor of JNC Robin Gross, representative of ICANN’s Non-Commercial Stakeholders Group (NCSG), and member of the NCSG Executive Committee Information on the Previous WGEC Previous representatives from civil society Mr. Carlos A.
