This document is limited in scope and gives a peek into some of the key recommendations of the CCWG Accountability proposal. It is also forward looking and highlights some areas to focus on in Work Stream 2. While this was prepared keeping in mind interests and concerns of Indian stakeholders, I hope you may find it useful as we head into the CCWG-Accountability Face-to-Face, and plan our work ahead.

I thought that's something that unites us all somehow, right? :). I am planning to pass by that session, maybe we can also meet there apart from the ICANN booth (as per Renata's suggestion) or NCSG/NCUC (as per David's suggestion).

Several reminders were sent. Nominations were received from: Akinremi Peter Taiwob Arsene Tungali Carlos Vera Quintana As we attempted to set up the election process we ran into serious difficulties with the software that had been used previously. We appealed for assistance but no one was in a position to help. In these circumstances Analia devised an alternative procedure. The link to a ballot was sent out to list members on 20th February 2016, stipulating that the poll would close on 29 February (23:59 UTC) Again several reminders were sent. A link to the list of members who voted can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IO9QkH26lGSq5ZR00vVG2kg_edb57D945S_gCUEZeOY/edit?usp=sharing A careful check was carried out to ensure that each voting member only voted once and that each vote was accompanied by the affirmation of membership stipulated by the Charter. 107 votes were cast of which 99 were valid. 36 votes for Arsene Tungali 32 votes for Carlos Vera Quintana 10 votes for Akinremi Peter Taiwo 20 votes None of the above Of the 8 rejected votes 4 persons said that they are not members: Steve Hanagan  Didier Van der Meeren Michéle Tancman Candido da Silva Aída Noblia 4 persons voted twice Lebrum Lorna Tingu Makuma (Mrs Simiyu) Narine Khachatryan Thomas Lowenhaupt Therefore Arsene Tungali is elected as the new Co-coordinator to work with Analia.

Since the group have 4 days to discuss my name among with others who may be presented, I do share with you my details (as were asked by the call). Deidre, as retiring co-coordinator will help with the discussion until Arsene can incorporate himself as coordinator. If you have any objection to this nomination, please do not hesitate to explain your reasons. Otherwise, endorsements are welcome. Kind regards, Analía Aspis ----------------------------------------------------- Analía Aspis 1. Short bio of one paragraph I am a Argentinean woman and lawyer (36) who have been working for the past years in the IT law and political field, both in research on the field of Privacy, International Law and Internet Governance and well as Research Group Projects at the University of Buenos Aires in the field of Surveillance, IT Law and Human Rights evaluating and monitoring the current agenda and well as the international forums related to Internet Governance. Accordingly, Not only I have obtained several support for the Argentinean, Swiss and Swedish governments to pursue her studies and doctoral research but as well I has return all that support and knowledge to my country. I holds one of the best grades in the University of Buenos Aires, as well as an MBA in Switzerland (University of Lausanne) and research work in Sweden (University of Stockholm – Center for Law and Informatics). I am as well a specialist in Internet Governance and International and Humanitarian Law and is one of the few professionals in Argentina you is deeply committed to built a strong network within the academia as well as with students to promote the human rights and the use of the technology. I am author of different articles and chapters related to technology, politics and law. Finally, I am a member of the Global Internet Governance Academic Network, ITU working group on Aviation Applications of Cloud Computing for Flight Data Monitoring, and I was recently accepted as a member of the Advisory group of the Global Internet Policy Observatory. 2. My motivation to be a civil society representative to the WG I am an academic with a strong calling for civil society. Accordingly, I am a consultant and I active participant on multistakeholder dialogue on Internet Governance. I do consider that my professional and academic profile gives an unique point of view of both the regulatory and political aspect of technology for understand the role that CS should represent and how to enhance its participation. Every time I did have the opportunity to contribute to CS within the UN system, I made my best to strengthen its influence in the international agenda (ITU, UNCTAD, WSIS+10, NCUC ).I consider I have always shown an early concern in alternatives solutions to nowadays problems between technology and law, being always my aim to join forces and to collaborate in both educational and social problems that this field involved. As a Latin American citizen I think I can offer a comprehensive point of view of the issues, contribute to the understanding of the different backgrounds and situations. Moreover, I do consider the research as a unique opportunity to enhance civil society dialogue and to start an active network worldwide. I am more than convinced that I do have has both the intellectual and professional capacity to promote and subscribe Tunes Agenda enhanced cooperation. Finally, for a personal point of view I consider myself as a very responsible, enthusiastic, proactive and team-worker person, always being very positive and compromise with each task and challenge in my life. 3. Substantive proposals or a vision on “how to further implement enhanced cooperation as envisioned in the Tunis Agenda” From my perspective, 3 main themes should develop coordinations and policies: children, literacy and security, encouraging the participation as many stakeholders as possible from a wide range of fields without interfering growth and development of the Internet. I do strongly believe that recommendations with regard human rights and cybersecurity should be taken into consideration in order to prevent the interruption of the advanced use of the Internet by ensuring the free flow of information and establishing an environment for the safe utilization and application of ICT through international cooperation. The governance of Internet should be improved and democratized at all levels, therefore its implementation is continuous, and needs to be evaluated on an ongoing basis throughout the Internet governance ecosystem. A more concrete and accessible database with Internet Goverance information and policies should be open to citizen and CS organizations should be trained, both with legal and technical training, on the core issues that are discussed, so as to enhance its level of knowledge and participation. 4. My experience or qualifications to represent civil society on the WG. I am the co-coordinator of the Internet Governance Caucus, which convokes individual and organizational civil society actors who came together in the context of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) to promote global public interest objectives in Internet governance policy making. As an academic and civil society participant, I have a full understanding of civil society role within the digital diplomacy context as well as a deep commitment to develop policies and programs to enhance CS participation and influence on international relationships. Moreover, I am a group member of the WG on Internet Security and Human Rights in the Freedom Online Coalition, where I have been working closely with a multistakeholder group (including the government of United States of America, Canada and The Netherlands) focusing our effort in enhancing human rights protection within online activities as well as an active participant of the Civil Society pre-conference and training on capacity building at The Hague. In Argentina, I am the founder of the Argentinean Hub of Internet Governance, a group who seeks to promote discussion and information on IG issues form a Latin-American point of view and the Argentinean Legal Hackers chapter, a group that combines both technical and legal expertise to seek solutions for Internet’s current challenges. In this sense, I do strongly promote online training and international conferences remote participation by different channels I have created. I have been involved in many advocacy activities. To mention a few I have been member (twice) of the Member of the Stakeholder Selection Committee to choose potential speakers from non-governmental organizations for the High-level Meeting on the overall review of the implementation of the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS +10). I have also implemented many hubs for CS to follow remote participation in internacionals events (WSIS+10, ICANN, Eurodig, IGF) 5. Name, gender, regional/geographical, as well as any appropriate affiliation information and contact information should be included as well.

If anyone is considering self-nominating or nominating someone else for this Working Group, please let the IGC know URGENTLY. Please indicate your support or otherwise for candidates. So far IGC has received nominations from Baudoin Schombe and Analia Aspis. The call from the CSCG is copied below for your convenience. Thank you Deirdre The Civil Society Coordination Groups (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), the announcement for which 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 . 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). 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. The Chair has requested that we include, to the extent possible, selection of former members of the previous working group in order to ensure the continuation of institutional memory, and the point in the UNGA resolution to “take into consideration the work that has been done on this matter so far.” While remote participation will most probably be available, he also notes that remote participation “may not be very efficient in case of intensive debates and drafting”. In addition, he notes that “As for funding, the Secretariat of the CSTD will try and find means to facilitate participation from developing countries”. 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. Proficiency in English is necessary for communications within the WGEC. It is understood that nominees must be able to attend (most) meetings as established by the WGEC. About CSCG and the current nomcom: . 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; all to be evaluated using the information submitted with the nomination. Final selection will consider gender and geographical location, to ensure an appropriate balance. 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.

Thanks to Carlos and Akinremi – please stay interested and active. From me thank you especially to Mawaki and Analia, but also to everyone else who helped supported and encouraged me over that last two years. And thank you for all the good wishes you are sending now. I was going to say that I hope the IGC will keep together because now particularly civil society needs to present a united front to the world, but of course that’s not so. The extent to which civil society can contrive to remember its shared human values in spite of the diversity of its approaches to the preservation and protection of those values is always the extent to which a balance can be achieved in the life of the world.

Accordingly, I am a consultant and I active participant on multistakeholder dialogue on Internet Governance. I do consider that my professional and academic profile gives an unique point of view of both the regulatory and political aspect of technology for understand the role that CS should represent and how to enhance its participation. Every time I did have the opportunity to contribute to CS within the UN system, I made my best to strengthen its influence in the international agenda (ITU, UNCTAD, WSIS+10, NCUC ).I consider I have always shown an early concern in alternatives solutions to nowadays problems between technology and law, being always my aim to join forces and to collaborate in both educational and social problems that this field involved. As a Latin American citizen I think I can offer a comprehensive point of view of the issues, contribute to the understanding of the different backgrounds and situations.

I do strongly believe that recommendations with regard human rights and cybersecurity should be taken into consideration in order to prevent the interruption of the advanced use of the Internet by ensuring the free flow of information and establishing an environment for the safe utilization and application of ICT through international cooperation. The governance of Internet should be improved and democratized at all levels, therefore its implementation is continuous, and needs to be evaluated on an ongoing basis throughout the Internet governance ecosystem. A more concrete and accessible database with Internet Goverance information and policies should be open to citizen and CS organizations should be trained, both with legal and technical training, on the core issues that are discussed, so as to enhance its level of knowledge and participation. >>>> >>>> >>>> 4.

This is a very important working group in my view, and one that can be used to to talk about the role of government in internet governance - what it should be and what it need not be - one of the conversations that seems to always be either truncated, or avoided. I believe that having this conversation, and recognising that there is a role for government and that there is a need for conversation among them does not imply abandoning multistakeholder approaches. Talking about governments role and about how they interact with one another and about how regulation can counter monopolies without encroaching on rights should and could contribute to creating more inclusive (of nonstate actors) processes at national level and a more open and public internet. The previous group did make progress but also struggled to really break new ground. Now that the WSIS+10 review has happened, and the IGF has been renewed, and the IANA transition is in process, I think it will be easier to engage in constructive and critical discussion. This group has the potential to develop a common understanding of principles for "enhanced" or "effective" cooperation, and come up with proposals for mechanisms that can complement and reinforce existing processes.

This is a very important working group in my view, and one that can be used to to talk about the role of government in internet governance - what it should be and what it need not be - one of the conversations that seems to always be either truncated, or avoided. I believe that having this conversation, and recognising that there is a role for government and that there is a need for conversation among them does not imply abandoning multistakeholder approaches. Talking about governments role and about how they interact with one another and about how regulation can counter monopolies without encroaching on rights should and could contribute to creating more inclusive (of nonstate actors) processes at national level and a more open and public internet. The previous group did make progress but also struggled to really break new ground. Now that the WSIS+10 review has happened, and the IGF has been renewed, and the IANA transition is in process, I think it will be easier to engage in constructive and critical discussion. This group has the potential to develop a common understanding of principles for "enhanced" or "effective" cooperation, and come up with proposals for mechanisms that can complement and reinforce existing processes.

Parminder has been very active in enhanced cooperation debates since the very beginning. He has also played an important role in keeping the concept alive, developing various proposals around it. Parminder was the first to demand that a CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation be set up. And it is through his contributions that the subject of Enhanced Cooperation was discussed for the first time at the 2008 IGF. We have put together a note on his suitability for this role, which can be accessed here http://itforchange.net/Parminder_bio_WGEC-2.pdf Please let me know if you need any further information or clarification.

Best, Chinmayi *Name, gender, regional/geographical & appropriate affiliation information and contact information * Name: Chinmayi Arun Gender: Female Region: India, Asia Pacific Primary Institutional Affiliation: Assistant Professor, National Law University- Delhi and Executive Director of the Centre for Communication Governance at National Law University Delhi (other institutional affiliations are listed in my bio). Contact: chinmayi.arun at nludelhi.ac.in *1. Short bio * I currently serve as Executive Director of the Centre for Communication Governance at National Law University Delhi. I have ties with multiple global, regional and domestic organisations owing to my involvement in various facets of internet governance. For example, I am a Faculty Associate of the Berkman Centre for Internet & Society at Harvard University, on the Board of Directors of Digital Asia Hub and an Academic Expert with the Internet & Jurisdiction Observatory. I am also a Fellow of the Centre for Internet & Society, Bangalore and a member of the Government of India’s multi stakeholder advisory group for the India Internet Governance forum. I have been teaching and researching information policy since 2010. I was already working on questions relating to enhanced co-operation and multi-stakeholder governance by the time I started actively engaging with the global internet governance space in 2012, which is the year that I spoke at the Internet Governance Forum, and participated in the World Conference on International Telecommunications. In the policy space, I have participated as a civil society representative at various Internet Governance fora. These include the WICT 2012, the WSIS+10 Review negotiations and the UNESCO Connecting the Dots conference. I have been invited to speak on expert panels at the sidelines of the WSIS+10 High Level Meeting and the Connecting the Dots conference. As an Executive Director of CCG, I supervise a team of researchers dedicated to following global internet governance processes, and domestic internet processes. We engage equally with global institutions like ICANN (through the Non-Commercial Users Constituency) and with local institutions and processes like the Law Commission of India’s media law reforms and the Indian Net Neutrality consultations. *2. My Motivation to be part of the Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation* I have a keen interest in governance models as a result of my academic work. As an Indian woman who works in the internet governance space, I speak frequently with people who offer varied, even contentious, perspectives on the meaning of Enhanced Cooperation and multistakeholderism. It is very important to understand and engage with these different points of view, and to work out inclusive ideas and models around which consensus can be built. I can see the enormous impact that this group’s report might have and would like to do my part to help think through what ‘enhanced co-operation’ means and how our articulation of its meaning can reflect global public interest, and the concerns of my region especially those of marginalised vulnerable people. The previous Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation did an excellent job of mapping all the internet governance institutions and identifying areas within internet governance that need closer attention. This is a good time (especially given the outcome of the WSIS+10 review) to take this work forward and work towards shared understanding of the meaning of this contested, yet crucial concept. 1. *3. Substantive proposals or a vision on “how to further implement enhanced cooperation as envisioned in the Tunis Agenda”* I believe that there is more space for mutual understanding and consensus than most people realise. It is important to use the previous working group’s extensive research on different internet governance institutions, along with the work of scholars who have been writing about multi-stakeholder models around the world, to highlight the nuance within the enhanced co-operation debate. This will help stakeholders focus on the specific areas and details that are of particular concern to them. I see the criticisms of multi-stakeholder models as valuable learning opportunities to work out ways in which internet governance can be made as inclusive, transparent and accountable as possible. Engaging with the WSIS+10 Review has shown us that despite the emerging consensus on multistakeholder models of governance, there can be significant barriers to civil society participation. To this end, establishing clear terms of civil society engagement in the various IG and IG related institutions will help facilitate the “full participation of all stakeholders” as per the Tunis Agenda (para 31). *My experience or qualifications to represent civil society on the WG.* I have previously represented civil society at many international institutions. Chief among these was WICT, 2012, IGF (2012, 2013 and 2015), WSIS+10 Review meetings and the WSIS forum. As an academic participating under the civil society umbrella, my expertise has been called upon at many of these fora. I was a panellist at the UNESCO Connecting the Dots Conference and at a UNESCO-organised side event at the WSIS High Level Meeting. I have collaborated with research centres at Harvard University and Oxford University, and am my organisation’s representative at several international networks including the Global Network of Internet and Society Centres, the Global Network Initiative and the Digital Asia hub. I do therefore have experience of translating priorities from the Asia Pacific region to a global level. I have also been a part of multi-stakeholder governance domestically, as a member of the Indian MAG, as a consultant to the Law Commission and as a participant in open consultations held by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India and the Department of Telecommunication. Our research agenda at the centre focuses on constructive ways to support inclusive, multi-stakeholder governance – my colleagues and I host public briefings and discussions before every major global internet governance event and circulate material to help other stakeholders engage more effectively. Samples of my comments on internet governance are available here and here . I do want to emphasise that as a researcher, I always approach these questions with an open mind and find that my position evolves as I read and discuss these issues with others. wrote: > I support Lea's nomination > It is great to have a Bestbits participant in this. > Em 13/03/2016 07:25, "Lea Kaspar" escreveu: > >> Dear Nadira, all, >> >> Please find below my expression of interest to become one of the 5 civil >> society representatives on the UN CSTD Working Group on Enhanced >> Cooperation.

Short bio > > I currently serve as Executive Director of the Centre for Communication Governance at National Law University Delhi. I have ties with multiple global, regional and domestic organisations owing to my involvement in various facets of internet governance. For example, I am a Faculty Associate of the Berkman Centre for Internet & Society at Harvard University, on the Board of Directors of Digital Asia Hub and an Academic Expert with the Internet & Jurisdiction Observatory. I am also a Fellow of the Centre for Internet & Society, Bangalore and a member of the Government of India’s multi stakeholder advisory group for the India Internet Governance forum. I have been teaching and researching information policy since 2010. I was already working on questions relating to enhanced co-operation and multi-stakeholder governance by the time I started actively engaging with the global internet governance space in 2012, which is the year that I spoke at the Internet Governance Forum, and participated in the World Conference on International Telecommunications. In the policy space, I have participated as a civil society representative at various Internet Governance fora. These include the WICT 2012, the WSIS+10 Review negotiations and the UNESCO Connecting the Dots conference. I have been invited to speak on expert panels at the sidelines of the WSIS+10 High Level Meeting and the Connecting the Dots conference. As an Executive Director of CCG, I supervise a team of researchers dedicated to following global internet governance processes, and domestic internet processes. We engage equally with global institutions like ICANN (through the Non-Commercial Users Constituency) and with local institutions and processes like the Law Commission of India’s media law reforms and the Indian Net Neutrality consultations. > > > > 2. My Motivation to be part of the Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation > > > > I have a keen interest in governance models as a result of my academic work. As an Indian woman who works in the internet governance space, I speak frequently with people who offer varied, even contentious, perspectives on the meaning of Enhanced Cooperation and multistakeholderism. It is very important to understand and engage with these different points of view, and to work out inclusive ideas and models around which consensus can be built. I can see the enormous impact that this group’s report might have and would like to do my part to help think through what ‘enhanced co-operation’ means and how our articulation of its meaning can reflect global public interest, and the concerns of my region especially those of marginalised vulnerable people. > > > > The previous Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation did an excellent job of mapping all the internet governance institutions and identifying areas within internet governance that need closer attention. This is a good time (especially given the outcome of the WSIS+10 review) to take this work forward and work towards shared understanding of the meaning of this contested, yet crucial concept. > > > > 1. 3. Substantive proposals or a vision on “how to further implement enhanced cooperation as envisioned in the Tunis Agenda” > > > > I believe that there is more space for mutual understanding and consensus than most people realise. It is important to use the previous working group’s extensive research on different internet governance institutions, along with the work of scholars who have been writing about multi-stakeholder models around the world, to highlight the nuance within the enhanced co-operation debate. This will help stakeholders focus on the specific areas and details that are of particular concern to them. I see the criticisms of multi-stakeholder models as valuable learning opportunities to work out ways in which internet governance can be made as inclusive, transparent and accountable as possible. Engaging with the WSIS+10 Review has shown us that despite the emerging consensus on multistakeholder models of governance, there can be significant barriers to civil society participation. To this end, establishing clear terms of civil society engagement in the various IG and IG related institutions will help facilitate the “full participation of all stakeholders” as per the Tunis Agenda (para 31). > > > > My experience or qualifications to represent civil society on the WG. > > I have previously represented civil society at many international institutions. Chief among these was WICT, 2012, IGF (2012, 2013 and 2015), WSIS+10 Review meetings and the WSIS forum. As an academic participating under the civil society umbrella, my expertise has been called upon at many of these fora. I was a panellist at the UNESCO Connecting the Dots Conference and at a UNESCO-organised side event at the WSIS High Level Meeting. I have collaborated with research centres at Harvard University and Oxford University, and am my organisation’s representative at several international networks including the Global Network of Internet and Society Centres, the Global Network Initiative and the Digital Asia hub. I do therefore have experience of translating priorities from the Asia Pacific region to a global level. > > > > I have also been a part of multi-stakeholder governance domestically, as a member of the Indian MAG, as a consultant to the Law Commission and as a participant in open consultations held by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India and the Department of Telecommunication. Our research agenda at the centre focuses on constructive ways to support inclusive, multi-stakeholder governance – my colleagues and I host public briefings and discussions before every major global internet governance event and circulate material to help other stakeholders engage more effectively. > > Samples of my comments on internet governance are available here and here.

She has developed and coordinated information sharing, capacity building, and advocacy initiatives at the Global Conference on Cyberspace (GCCS), NETmundial, the WSIS+10 Review process, the 2013-2014 UN CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation (WGEC), and various processes of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). She is a member of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG), a member of the UK Multistakeholder Group on Internet Governance (MAGIG), and sits on the Steering Committee of the UK IGF. >>> >>> > one paragraph of motivation to be a civil society representative to CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation, >>> Following the conclusion of the WSIS Review Process, the WGEC will become a critical space to shape the normative landscape of global internet governance. It will present an opportunity to push a positive agenda for change, and, at the same time, pose a threat to the gains that we, as a global community, have made since the WSIS in 2005. With a growing trend to close and limit the space for public interest voices in internet governance debates, civil society will have a key role at WGEC to resist a reading of enhanced cooperation that is reserved for governments, and instead offer a vision that involves all stakeholders, based on the principles of openness, transparency and inclusiveness. Furthermore, WGEC will be an opportunity for civil society to build on the outcomes of the 2013-14 WGEC and NETmundial by demystifying the flexible, issue-based understanding of roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in internet governance. Building on the insight gained during WGEC 2013-14, my engagement in the WSIS Review, and my experience on the IGF MAG, I would be privileged to contribute to this outcome by bringing my skills and expertise to the Working Group as one of its civil society representatives. >>> >>> > one paragraph describing substantive proposals or a vision on “how to further implement enhanced cooperation as envisioned in the Tunis Agenda”, and >>> The notion of enhanced cooperation as a principle of governance matters insofar as it contributes to achieving the WSIS vision of a “people-centered, development-oriented information society”. Although anchored around the question of the role of governments, enhanced cooperation in support of the WSIS vision cannot be achieved without the involvement of all stakeholders. The most important immediate task in further implementing it will therefore be to clarify the roles of responsibilities of different stakeholders in internet governance. A starting point for this task is provided in the NETmundial outcome document which states that “the respective roles and responsibilities of stakeholders should be interpreted in a flexible manner with reference to the issue under discussion”. As a member of the WGEC, I would seek to leverage the NETmundial outcome, as well as the mapping output of WGEC 2013-14, in order to develop practical recommendations to promote a flexible, issue-based understanding of roles and responsibilities, and a vision of enhanced cooperation based upon principles of openness, transparency, and inclusiveness. >>> >>> > one paragraph describing experience or qualifications to represent civil society on the CSTD Working Group. >>> I have been an active member of the global internet governance community since 2012, focused on facilitating meaningful civil society engagement in international forums and processes, including at the recent WSIS+10 Review and the 2013-14 WGEC. During the 2013-14 WGEC, I participated as an active observer in 4 out of 5 meetings of the Group. Following its establishment, I joined the WGEC Correspondence Group, and played a critical role in developing the mapping output of the Group, which served as the basis for the CSTD mapping report issued in November 2014. Through this engagement, I gained invaluable insight into the dynamics of the enhanced cooperation debate that I would seek to leverage as a civil society representative in the group’s reboot. >>> >>> > Name, gender, regional/geographical, as well as any appropriate affiliation information and contact information should be included as well. >>> Gender: Female >>> Nationality: Croatian (UN regional group: Eastern European) >>> Affiliation: Global Partners Digital, UK >>> >>> --- >>> >>> Lea Kaspar >>> Head of Programmes and International Policy | GLOBAL PARTNERS DIGITAL >>> Second Home, 68-80 Hanbury Street, London, E1 5JL >>> T: +44 (0)20 3818 3258 | M: +44 (0)7583 929216 >>> gp-digital.org >>> >>>> On Fri, Mar 11, 2016 at 7:47 AM, Nadira Alaraj wrote: >>>> >>>> Dear Best Bits 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” .

This is a very important working group in my view, and one that can be used to to talk about the role of government in internet governance - what it should be and what it need not be - one of the conversations that seems to always be either truncated, or avoided. I believe that having this conversation, and recognising that there is a role for government and that there is a need for conversation among them does not imply abandoning multistakeholder approaches. Talking about governments role and about how they interact with one another and about how regulation can counter monopolies without encroaching on rights should and could contribute to creating more inclusive (of nonstate actors) processes at national level and a more open and public internet. The previous group did make progress but also struggled to really break new ground. Now that the WSIS+10 review has happened, and the IGF has been renewed, and the IANA transition is in process, I think it will be easier to engage in constructive and critical discussion. This group has the potential to develop a common understanding of principles for "enhanced" or "effective" cooperation, and come up with proposals for mechanisms that can complement and reinforce existing processes.

And it may also be one of the most important ones. I have therefore updated the doc by adding the following paragraph. Please let me know if any clarification or further information is needed. I believe that the stand/ proposals made by civil society participants should be public and they should also commit to respond to clarification and other questions, and be ready to undertake a debate, about which I hear some positive views on this list. This is my primary purpose for posting this, and I very much comend the CCWG for putting forward this important question. (begins) _*Substantive proposals or a vision on “how to further implement enhanced cooperation as envisioned in the Tunis Agenda”*_ A lot of the text above tends to describe the vision I have in this regard. I will briefly summarise it here. When institutional form – whether extant or proposed new – becomes controversial, as the appropriate mechanism for addressing the much needed global Internet policies has become, we may need to start from the start. Function, in such a case, shouldprecede form, as is held to be the normal organisational wisdom. We have by now a good idea of the function. The first version of the Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation, and the follow-up CSTD secretariat report, did a good job of mapping global Internet related policy space. This may need to be worked upon a little more, especially in terms of bunching issues along institutional requirements, which is the work that the new group should begin with. Further, we have existing institutions like OECD's Committee on Digital Economy Policy, and Council of Europe's Steering Committee on Media and Information Society (and probably other supra-national agencies doing such work which I have not tracked), whose excellent work provides a very good and ever-growing list of international Internet-related public policy issues. Once, we are over this hump, and there is an agreement that there indeed exist very important global Internet-related public policy issues, it should not be difficult to look for and find the appropriate form. Like for all important functions of our social lives, the form that is agreed upon may not be perfect, but as long at it is appreciated that key policy issues do need a global level addressing, it should not be too difficult to move towards the most appropriate one, within the possible institutional forms. In this regard, the UN's long history of innovative new institutional forms (after all, the IGF came out if it) and the high degree of multistakeholder participativeness that otherwise characterises the Internet governance space together provide an excellent background to make progress. I am sure that this group will achieve what it has set out to achieve. If we even now fail to find the appropriate institutional mechanism to adequately address the myriad, urgent and important global Internet-related policy issues, the coming generations would not be kind to us in remembering our political role at this key formative time of the new social paradigm of an Internet-mediated society.

I believe with me representing on the working group will take to the table the real issues confronting Africa in relation to Internet Governance, Open Government Data and Human Rights issues and some of the aggressive approach Africa need to take.

And it may also be one of the most important ones. I have therefore updated the doc by adding the following paragraph. Please let me know if any clarification or further information is needed.  I believe that the stand/ proposals made by civil society participants should be public and they should also commit to respond to clarification and other questions, and be ready to undertake a debate, about which I hear some positive views on this list. This is my primary purpose for posting this, and I very much comend the CCWG for putting forward this important question. >   (begins) >   Substantive proposals or a vision on “how to further implement enhanced cooperation as envisioned in the Tunis Agenda” > > > > > > > > > A lot of the text above tends to describe the vision I have in this regard. I will briefly summarise it here. When institutional form – whether extant or proposed new – becomes controversial, as the appropriate mechanism for addressing the much needed global Internet policies has become, we may need to start from the start. Function, in such a case, shouldprecede form, as is held to be the normal organisational wisdom. We have by now a good idea of the function. The first version of the Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation, and the follow-up CSTD secretariat report, did a good job of mapping global Internet related policy space. This may need to be worked upon a little more, especially in terms of bunching issues along institutional requirements, which is the work that the new group should begin with. Further, we have existing institutions like OECD's Committee on Digital Economy Policy, and Council of Europe's Steering Committee on Media and Information Society (and probably other supra-national agencies doing such work which I have not tracked), whose excellent work provides a very good and ever-growing list of international Internet-related public policy issues. Once, we are over this hump, and there is an agreement that there indeed exist very important global Internet-related public policy issues, it should not be difficult to look for and find the appropriate form. Like for all important functions of our social lives, the form that is agreed upon may not be perfect, but as long at it is appreciated that key policy issues do need a global level addressing, it should not be too difficult to move towards the most appropriate one, within the possible institutional forms. In this regard, the UN's long history of innovative new institutional forms (after all, the IGF came out if it) and the high degree of multistakeholder participativeness that otherwise characterises the Internet governance space together provide an excellent background to make progress. I am sure that this group will achieve what it has set out to achieve. If we even now fail to find the appropriate institutional mechanism to adequately address the myriad, urgent and important global Internet-related policy issues, the coming generations would not be kind to us in remembering our political role at this key formative time of the new social paradigm of an Internet-mediated society. > > > > (ends) >   parminder >       On Monday 14 March 2016 11:18 AM, anita wrote: > Friends, >   IT for Change will like to propose the candidacy of Parminder to be a civil society participant of the re-enacted Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation. >   Parminder has been very active in enhanced cooperation debates since the very beginning.

For the ones on funding, I would recommend that you get in touch with Belisario Contreras at OAS, which supervised the development of the report. His contact details are at the bottom of my message. What I can share are only personal impressions. In order to collect input from different stakeholders to elaborate the report, OAS conducted an online survey. As far as I know, the role of Oxford was to help OAS on the development of this questionnaire. I have no information on funding. With regards to CS participation, there was an interesting meeting in IGF 2015, facilitated by Carolina Rossini, in which several organisations form the LAC region shared views on the development of national cyber security plans. The impression I had from the conversation is that OAS is giving technical support for the development of these plans - many countries in LAC do not have them yet - and there is an understanding from the side of OAS that plans should be developed with the involvement of CS. The opportunities for actual participation seem to have varied from country to country, depending on the openness of national governments to engage in meaningful debate. Hope it helps. Maybe Carolina or other colleagues from the region would like to jump in an share their thoughts too. Best wishes!

I am writing from home,Goma, a small city in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.It took me very long before Ifinally reach home after attending the ICANN55 meeting in Marrakech. On my wayback home, I missed two flights and had to spend nearly 30 hours waiting at theairport in Dubai. I was really glad to connect anddiscuss with some members during the ICANN meeting. Even if we didn’t get aformal get together, but thank you for being there and for saying Hi to me (especiallyfor those I couldn’t recognize). I got the notification of my election duringthe last hours of the wrap up cocktail and wanted to get back home before I cansend this email. I want to officially say THANK YOUfor the vote and for trusting me enough to allow me to serve you for the nexttwo years. Moreover, I would like to call on your support to allow me to betterplay my role. I really need your engagement, involvement so that we can bringback or strengthen constructive discussions and feedback within the group. I willbe happy to hear from you whenever you have some great tips or if you have aconcern. I hope to count on the expertise ofeveryone, especially those who have been here since the beginning. To AkinremiPeter and Carlos Vera, I hope to count on your engagement as well since I amopen to collaborate with you. I also want to join everyone tocommend the wonderful work done by Deidre (whom I have known since 2012 as shewas tutoring me for the Diplo Foundation IG online courses and we only met inBrazil last year). Thank you for being a great support to the group and hopeyou keep engaging. And to Analia, I look forward to enjoying working with youfor the next two years or so. Finally to everyone, thank you foryour kind messages and looking forward to the coming years. You will hear fromme very soon as I will be asking for your support while implementing some ofthe plans I have for the group. And please don’t forget to nominate yourself orto endorse some already made nominations for the CSTD WG.

It is sad how far operators can go and truly there is need for proper regulations. I had limited knowledge about the meaning of 'data caps' but when i read articles on it, it is a bit clearer now because i understand it practically. I just read on another list the work PK is doing in that field. There is a lot to learn here: https://www.publicknowledge.org/issues/data-caps I experienced this while in the US when subscribed to AT&T and their monthly bandwidth. It is really painful when they start slowing you when you are about to finish your monthly package. Atleast they inform you that you are close to finishing and that you will be slowed down. In the DR Congo, we don't usually deal with data caps on 3G (mobile) because most people use daily or weekly plans with a clear amount of Gbs paid for. The operator will keep you updated about how much remains of your plan so that you don't go beyond. The consequence of going beyong is that you start using your airtime (which was not part of the data plan you activated for) at a very high rate (close to roaming). In most cases when connected to wifi, you also are aware the Gbs you have and you can monitor. Operators will not slow you but when your plan is over, they will just disconnect you until you buy or subscribe to another plan. I hope this makes sense. I will be glad to hear others on how this looks like in their own environment.

Meaning, yeah of course it's about the money. In US some providers like Time-Warner Cable which had tried to introduce caps have backed off after consumer complaints; perhaps not coincidentally TWC is awaiting FCC approval of its 3-way merger with Charter and Brighthouse Networks. But others persist including Comcast, AT&T and Verizon. 2 more recent links on the issue in the US context: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/candace-clement/destroy-your-data-caps_b_9252582.html http://www.techhive.com/article/3027161/streaming-media/why-cord-cutters-shouldn-t-live-in-fear-of-broadband-data-caps.html​ Good luck with your research!

However in this case your fears are unfounded. Ginger, as non-voting Chair of the CSCG, pointed out that Analia's responsibility extended until the close of nominations and the submission of the shortlist. In fact I counted the expressions of support and Analia double-checked. The nominators sent their nominations to the list themselves. The number of supporting messages reported were those sent to the IGC before midnight UTC on 15th March. I was very careful about my counting, but mistakes do happen. If I have miscounted please tell me more. However you should remember that messages of support NOT sent to the IGC list don't count for the IGC reporting. They will however appear in the overall CSCG reckoning. I hope this sets your mind at rest.

I do, however, see Deirdre's points about the way the process was managed and I find it all went very well. I'd also like to say I had supported Analia but I did not even have time to see all the other candidates applications as it was no fast their nomination and the closing of the deadline to endorse. However, all the names are fantastic. On a more general note, last time endorsements were gathered the CSCG showed some openness on discussing the nomination processes. In this spirit, I think endorsement for nominations clearly should follow some sort of interpretation. It is clear to me that the candidate who is nominated earlier has a better chance of gathering more endorsements and this should be taken into account. Also, some people may fear endorsing publicly one candidate or another because they may worry they could be in trouble with the other opponents and maybe lose on opportunities of collaboration, funding. I got some expressions of this worry when I was receiving endorsements. So emphasizing that endorsement can also be sent directly to CSCG would be very important.

This time there was a long nomination period, which resulted in nothing happening at the beginning and a flurry of nominations in the last two or three days. Instead of that how about having a stipulated fairly short period - 3 to 5 days or is that too short? - for nominations only, the nominations to be sent directly to the CSCG. After that deadline the whole list of nominations could be circulated among the CSCG's members with a request for expressions of support. This period would also have a deadline, after which the nomcom would be in a good position to make an informed selection of the necessary number of civil society representatives. The current process may present some danger of seeing nominees as "belonging to" one of the 5 member groups of CSCG because that is the way that the initial nomination happens currently. If the nominations are made directly to CSCG, and everyone has a chance to comment on all nominees then this possibility is averted. What do other people think? Remember, this is speculation about a hypothetical selection in the future, NOT about the process currently underway.

However in this case your fears are unfounded. Ginger, as non-voting Chair of the CSCG, pointed out that Analia's responsibility extended until the close of nominations and the submission of the shortlist. In fact I counted the expressions of support and Analia double-checked. The nominators sent their nominations to the list themselves. The number of supporting messages reported were those sent to the IGC before midnight UTC on 15th March. I was very careful about my counting, but mistakes do happen. If I have miscounted please tell me more. However you should remember that messages of support NOT sent to the IGC list don't count for the IGC reporting. They will however appear in the overall CSCG reckoning. I hope this sets your mind at rest.

Renata and Deirdre's inputs are indeed far-reaching. Following some of the good points raised, I make 3 suggestions below: 1. Future IGC contenders for CS rep should indicate their base organizations and geographical region coming from (just as Cisse did); an independent IGC member should indicate so; 2. When more than one nominee come from one organization (org) and/or region, the org or region should give us ONLY ONE name (as this ensures every org and region are given chance not only to participate but also to develop themselves); 3. Since CSCG NomCom does the "voting" that selects names to be forwarded, we may replace list-level endorsements with either one/two seconders (supporters) only or endorsements only made directly to NomCom. I hope we remember that nominations can be made directly to CSTD or another UN group as the case may be? List-level endorsements create the impression of open ballot election, which isn't good enough, as some of us had already expressed.

At least that was the criteria when selection the MAG nominees, since a person who has a high profile but has sent its self-nomination at the very last moment can have the exact chances as one who has a lot of endorsement but lower profile. Just think about Parminder's profile that is more than excellent and is taken into consideration despite how many endorsement he may have.

The call for nominations and CSCG procedures can be found at http://www.internetgov-cs.org/ Ideally, selection processes would leave enough time for organisations like the IGC or BB to hold an internal nomination and endorsement procedure, so that the group could select its preferred nominees, and present a shortlist to the CSCG or focal point. This year, neither the MAG, nor the CSTD WGEC processes have allowed enough time for that, so it seems the IGC (as did the other groups) decided to submit the names of all nominees to the CSCG for the CSCG NomCom to use as the IGC shortlist. Each member group (NCSG, APC, BB, IGC, JNC) has that option http://www.internetgov-cs.org/procedures. Endorsements made on the IGC list were also sent to the CSCG as additional information. CS nominees who are not a member of any of the 5 represented groups sent their nominations directly to the CSCG. Endorsements cannot be considered 'votes'--usually they are part of the discussion process on the list, as the group works toward consensus on a shortlist. During the CSTD WGEC (current) NomCom endorsements, as positive or negative comments, have been noted in general, especially if additional information is required by the NomCom. Nominees are considered on the information in their nomination application, their known work in CS, and the overall balance of, in this case, the CS representatives for the WGEC (region, gender, etc.). The NomCom as a group, or its members, may request more information on any of the nominees, if needed, to make a decision. Analia is the representative of the IGC on the CSCG. On the CSTD WGEC NomCom, she has been replaced by Deirdre Williams, since Analia is a nominee. The NomCom is now reviewing the information on all of the nominees (20). We will share our report, and our submission to Peter Major, and your representative (in this case Deirdre) will report back to you. Please note that the NomCom must consider the needs of CS as a whole, and its members work toward that end. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let the CSCG know. Please excuse any omissions or errors in this informal post.

Assuming the statements you made of harassment are true [please bear with me for this qualification - not that I doubt you but I have zero first hand knowledge of this issue] - the conduct in question has to be unequivocally condemned and other steps taken to ensure that such harassment is met with appropriate consequences. 2. It would be far better for the ombudsman’s office - in consultation with the board - to have handled the matter apporpirately as soon as it was brought to their attention. Hotel venues typically have cctv cameras which can be used in evidence, whether or not there were any other witnesses to the matter. 3. While I am all for diversity - I would not say that a committee lacks standing to investigate such an issue just because of its lack of diversity. Sexual harassment is condemnable - and in its various degrees, criminal, the world over, so that there are very few “cultural” justifications to it. 4. The remarks that were allegedly passed have not (from a quick skim of the documents) been mentioned here so I am unable to judge whether they were tasteless (and deserve a reprimand and, for example, a public apology, besides any other consequences that ICANN policy dictates) or whether they crossed the border into outright sexual harassment (in which case law enforcement should be involved). Having and rigidly enforcing a policy against harassment based on gender, age, culture or any other [ism] is absolutely essential - without fear or favor, regardless of the position of the individual(s) responsible. thanks —srs -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Natural disasters not only cause dramatic loss of human lives and property bu" [image: Livestream] Today, *Friday March 18 2016* the *Internet Society's Nepal Chapter * is hosting INET Kathmandu with the theme *"Learning Lessons from Nepal - Embracing ICTs for Disaster Management"*. Natural disasters not only cause dramatic loss of human lives and property but also have a lasting impact on the economy which sometimes takes several years to recover from. In April 2015, an earthquake of 7.6 magnitude in Nepal left nearly 9,000 people dead and destroyed over half a million homes as well infrastructure. This massive destruction has also had an impact on Nepal’s bid to advance from the status of a least developed country to a developing country by 2022. During such times, disaster management efforts function on several levels, including first responders, humanitarian relief services and on-time assistance to affected communities. At all levels, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) play a significant role in getting the right information to the right people at the right time.

Natural disasters not only cause dramatic loss of human lives and property but also have a lasting impact on the economy which sometimes takes several years to recover from. In April 2015, an earthquake of 7.6 magnitude in Nepal left nearly 9,000 people dead and destroyed over half a million homes as well infrastructure. This massive destruction has also had an impact on Nepal’s bid to advance from the status of a least developed country to a developing country by 2022. During such times, disaster management efforts function on several levels, including first responders, humanitarian relief services and on-time assistance to affected communities. At all levels, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) play a significant role in getting the right information to the right people at the right time.

Dear IGC members, This is Arsene Tungali, the newly elected Co-coordinator of the CS Internet Governance Caucus. I am writing from home, Goma, a small city in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. It took me very long before I finally reach home after attending the ICANN55 meeting in Marrakech. On my way back home, I missed two flights and had to spend nearly 30 hours waiting at the airport in Dubai. I was really glad to connect and discuss with some members during the ICANN meeting. Even if we didn’t get a formal get together, but thank you for being there and for saying Hi to me (especially for those I couldn’t recognize). I got the notification of my election during the last hours of the wrap up cocktail and wanted to get back home before I can send this email. I want to officially say THANK YOU for the vote and for trusting me enough to allow me to serve you for the next two years. Moreover, I would like to call on your support to allow me to better play my role. I really need your engagement, involvement so that we can bring back or strengthen constructive discussions and feedback within the group. I will be happy to hear from you whenever you have some great tips or if you have a concern. I hope to count on the expertise of everyone, especially those who have been here since the beginning. To Akinremi Peter and Carlos Vera, I hope to count on your engagement as well since I am open to collaborate with you. I also want to join everyone to commend the wonderful work done by Deidre (whom I have known since 2012 as she was tutoring me for the Diplo Foundation IG online courses and we only met in Brazil last year). Thank you for being a great support to the group and hope you keep engaging. And to Analia, I look forward to enjoying working with you for the next two years or so. Finally to everyone, thank you for your kind messages and looking forward to the coming years. You will hear from me very soon as I will be asking for your support while implementing some of the plans I have for the group. And please don’t forget to nominate yourself or to endorse some already made nominations for the CSTD WG.

They provide automatic and detailed electronic data capture of patient vital signs information and device operational data. The primary goals are to: -Provide real-time, plug-and-play interoperability for patient-connected medical devices -Facilitate the efficient exchange of vital signs and medical device data, acquired at the point-of-care, in all health care environments These standards provide terminology, semantics, etc. to make it suitable for medical device data exchange. They consolidate numerous standard and non-standard terminologies that are in current use, resulting in the harmonization of how information is identified, and thus, interoperability and information exchange at the application level. Who Should Participate Stakeholders for this standard include medical device implementers, which includes vendors or manufacturers, integrators, regulators, and end-users, or healthcare providers.

I really hope something is done and on time as promised by the Board.  Thanks for speaking for all those who have found themselves in such situations. this usually happen in international conferences such as icann where you have people from different cultures. I think this is a sensitive issue because 'sexual harrassement' can be defined in number of ways and most of times perceived differently. What some cultures would consider 'just fine', others will take it as a very big offense to their personality. I didn't know you were part of this group as i wanted to thank you for speaking up on site but didn't have a chance.

Sexual harassment is a type of discrimination based on sex. When someone is sexually harassed it can undermine their sense of personal dignity. It can prevent one from earning a living, doing their job effectively, or reaching their full potential. Sexual harassment can also poison the environment for everyone else. If left unchecked, sexual harassment in the workplace has the potential to escalate to violent behaviour. Organisation that do not take steps to prevent sexual harassment can face major costs in decreased productivity, low morale, increased absenteeism and health care costs, and potential legal expenses. Under the Ontario *Human Rights Code*, sexual harassment is “engaging in a course of vexatious comment or conduct that is known or ought to be known to be unwelcome.” In some cases, one incident could be serious enough to be sexual harassment. Some examples of sexual harassment are: - asking for sex in exchange for a benefit or a favour - repeatedly asking for dates, and not taking “no” for an answer - demanding hugs - making unnecessary physical contact, including unwanted touching - using rude or insulting language or making comments toward women (or men, depending on the circumstances) - calling people sex-specific derogatory names - making sex-related comments about a person’s physical characteristics or actions - saying or doing something because you think a person does not conform to sex-role stereotypes - posting or sharing pornography, sexual pictures or cartoons, sexually explicit graffiti, or other sexual images (including online) - making sexual jokes - bragging about sexual prowess. Both women and men may experience sexual harassment in employment, but women tend to be more vulnerable to it because they often hold lower-paying, lower-authority and lower-status jobs compared to men. At the same time, even women in positions of authority may experience sexual harassment. Applying the *Human Rights Code* The* Code* says every person has the right to be free from unwelcome advances or solicitation in employment. “Employment” includes applying and interviewing for a job, volunteer work, internships, *etc*. It also includes activities or events that happen outside of normal business hours or off business premises, but are linked to the workplace and employment. Preventing and responding to sexual harassment ICANN should have a legal duty to take steps to prevent and respond to sexual harassment. They must make sure they have poison-free environments that respect human rights. From a human rights perspective, it is not acceptable to ignore sexual harassment, whether or not someone has formally complained or made a human rights complaint. When deciding if an oraganisation has met its duty to respond to a human rights claim, tribunals are likely to think about: - the procedures in place at the time to deal with discrimination and harassment - how quickly the organiation will responded to the complaint - how seriously the complaint was treated - the resources made available to deal with the complaint - if the organization provided a healthy environment for the person who complained - how well the person who complained was told about the action taken. Organisations can prevent many cases of sexual harassment by having a clear, comprehensive anti-sexual harassment policy in place. In cases of alleged sexual harassment, the policy will alert all parties to their rights, roles and responsibilities. Policies must clearly set out how the sexual harassment will be dealt with promptly and efficiently. Everyone should know about the anti-sexual harassment policy and the steps in place for resolving complaints. This can be done by: - giving policies to everyone as soon as they are introduced - making all members, *etc.* aware of them by including the policies in orientation material - training people, including people in positions of responsibility, about the policies, and educating them on human rights issues. An effective sexual harassment policy can limit harm and reduce liability. It also promotes the equity and diversity goals of organizations and institutions and makes good business sense. Taking steps to keep a poison-free environment will help make sure that sexual harassment does not take root, and does not have a chance to grow. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

When people are empowered to pursue their own destinies and have a voice in shaping solutions to problems they experience, they are better equipped to overcome poverty, live with dignity and transform the lives of others. “Millions of people are suffering enormously at the hands of states, while governments are shamelessly painting the protection of human rights as a threat to security, law and order or national ‘values.'" There is an insidious and creeping trend undermining human rights which has come from governments deliberately attacking, under funding or neglecting institutions that have been set up to help protect our rights. “Not only are our rights under threat, so are the laws and the system that protect them. More than 70 years of hard work and human progress lies at risk,” The United Nations’ human rights bodies, the International Criminal Court, and regional mechanisms such as the Council of Europe and the Inter American Human Rights system, are being undermined by governments attempting to evade oversight of their domestic records. As I speak Amnesty international has stated in their 2015 – 2016 report that governments are broken international law in their national contexts: more than 98 states tortured or otherwise ill-treated people and 30 or more illegally forced people to do things against their will where they would be in danger. In at least 18 countries, war crimes or other violations of the “laws of war” were committed by governments or armed groups. Amnesty International has warn of a worrying trend among governments increasingly targeting and attacking activists, lawyers and others who work to defend human rights and we are not excluded from this “Instead of recognizing the crucial role these people play in society, many governments have deliberately set out to strangle criticism in their country. They broken their own laws in their crackdowns against citizens,” *My question now is:* 1. Is there any charter of human right and principles for the internet? If yes to what extent has it influence human right policies on the internet. and if no is there any plans from ICANN to lead the process of bringing to the attention of the international bodies responsible for human right issues in relation to the internet from our part of the world? *WISDOM DONKOR (S/N Eng.)* ICANN Fellow / ISOC Member, IGF Member, Diplo Foundation OGP Working Group Member, Africa OD Working Group Member E-government and Open Government Data Platforms Specialist National Information Technology Agency (NITA) Ghana Open Data Initiative (GODI) Post Office Box CT. 2439, Cantonments, Accra, Ghana Tel; +233 20 812881 Email: wisdom_dk at hotmail.com wisdom.donkor at data.gov.gh wisdom.dk at gmail.com Skype: wisdom_dk facebook: facebook at wisdom_dk Website: www.nita.gov.gh / www.data.gov.gh www.isoc.gh / www.itag.org.gh On Sat, Mar 19, 2016 at 12:06 AM, Salanieta T.

With respect to confidentiality , I strongly do believe that it is the right of the comlainant alone, and can be waived at her behest.

If I choose to name and disclose documents that only contain my statement, then it is right to do so, and my confidentiality to waive, as only my version events is on record. I trust everyone respects the value of expression and freedom.enough to.understand what I mean. As to naming the person in question, he is more than welcome to engage with me or come up with a statement of his own. I have no.qualms about backing up.my.word with evidence. I am not a court of law and I certainly do not feel that I need to owe my perpetrator the grace of.anonymity if he chooses to disrespect my space . And finally, everyone questioning the relevance of posting this, it is the same.reason why anyone posts any thing in this community - to raise awareness about issues that affect the internet. Sexual harassment at ICANN, or other technical conferences, is a direct deterrent to global, diverse participation, and therefore any discussion to make the process more inclusionary is directly within the ambit of this group, I believe.

If you prefer that the process itself be brought out and discussed in an open forum with respect to its transparency, workings and communication of outcomes, I am happy with that. However - whichever investigation takes place, an ICANN internal one or with the intervention of law enforcement - the expectation of privacy is for both the accuser and the accused to avoid a trial in the court of public opinion, which even given the background of people here - socially conscious, activist, sensitised to diversity etc - might end up not being in anybody's best interest. --srs > On 19-Mar-2016, at 9:29 AM, Padmini wrote: > > Dear all > > Thank you for both the support and the queries. > With respect to confidentiality , I strongly do believe that it is the right of the comlainant alone, and can be waived at her behest.

I think with respect to the court of public opinion, your point makes sense. I trust however that the intention of my piece - not to lynch one person, regardless of what he did or did not do, but to raise larger concerns of failures of system. I have also acknowledged at each stage all the positive aspects of the system as well. I believe this is certainly within my right.

As mandated by the Organization’s 37th General Conference Resolution 52, UNESCO is also studying the Internet in its key competence areas of access to information and knowledge, freedom of expression, privacy, and ethical dimensions of the information society, and contains possible options for future actions. UNESCO has started in 2009 to commission this flagship series publications of Internet Freedom, aiming to explore the changing legal and policy issues of Internet and provide its Member States and other stakeholders with policy recommendations aiming to foster a conducive environment to freedom of expression on the net. The series seek to capture the complex dynamics of global Internet governance and present the key outcomes of edge-cutting studies conducted by leading experts in a wide range of crucial issues ranging from online freedom of expression, privacy, safety, hate speech to intermediaries liability and Internet governance principles. Upcoming in the series Protecting Journalism Sources in the Digital Age [http://wa1.www.unesco.org/new/typo3temp/pics/6587f90e5a.jpg] The legal frameworks that protect confidential sources of journalism are essential to reporting information in the public interest. However, these frameworks are under significant strain in the digital age, and there’s a need to strengthen them. These are the findings of global research, undertaken for UNESCO. Read more about the study, its assessment tool, and gender dimensions of protecting journalism sources. This research also formed the foundation for a dedicated chapter in World Trends in Freedom of Expression and Media Development – Special Digital Focus 2015. Principles for governing the Internet: a comparative analysis [http://wa1.www.unesco.org/new/typo3temp/pics/cf333b91a2.jpg] As the sixth edition in the UNESCO Internet Freedom series, this study encompasses both quantitative and qualitative assessments of more than 50 declarations, guidelines, and frameworks. The issues contained in these documents are assessed in the context of UNESCO’s interested areas such as access, freedom of expression, privacy, ethics, Priority Gender Equality, and Priority Africa, and sustainable development, etc. This publication shows that while each of the reviewed Internet documents has its own value, none of them fully meet UNESCO’s interests and mandate. The study proposes therefore the concept of “Internet Universality” as the Organisation’s own clear identifier for approaching the various fields of Internet issues and their intersections with UNESCO concerns. Internet Universality highlights the contribution that can be made by an Internet that is based on four principles, recognised by UNESCO governing bodies. An Internet developed on these principles would be: human Rights-based; Open; Accessible to all; and governed through Multi-stakeholder participation (summarized in the acronym R.O.A.M.). This concept has relevance to the Organization’s work in many areas – including online freedom of expression and privacy; efforts to advance universality in education, social inclusion and gender equality; multilingualism in cyberspace; access to information and knowledge; and ethical dimensions of information society.

Indeed the work being undertaken at ICANN around Human Rights has its precursors in the IRPC Charter. A number of organizations, networks, and individuals in all these lists you posted the question to have been directly involved in this project too. Best wishes MF On 19/03/2016 13:18, Wisdom Donkor wrote: My Statement at the Public Forum I believe that realizing human rights is the essential first step to building just societies. When people are empowered to pursue their own destinies and have a voice in shaping solutions to problems they experience, they are better equipped to overcome poverty, live with dignity and transform the lives of others. “Millions of people are suffering enormously at the hands of states, while governments are shamelessly painting the protection of human rights as a threat to security, law and order or national ‘values.'" There is an insidious and creeping trend undermining human rights which has come from governments deliberately attacking, under funding or neglecting institutions that have been set up to help protect our rights. “Not only are our rights under threat, so are the laws and the system that protect them. More than 70 years of hard work and human progress lies at risk,” The United Nations’ human rights bodies, the International Criminal Court, and regional mechanisms such as the Council of Europe and the Inter American Human Rights system, are being undermined by governments attempting to evade oversight of their domestic records. As I speak Amnesty international has stated in their 2015 – 2016 report that governments are broken international law in their national contexts: more than 98 states tortured or otherwise ill-treated people and 30 or more illegally forced people to do things against their will where they would be in danger. In at least 18 countries, war crimes or other violations of the “laws of war” were committed by governments or armed groups. Amnesty International has warn of a worrying trend among governments increasingly targeting and attacking activists, lawyers and others who work to defend human rights and we are not excluded from this “Instead of recognizing the crucial role these people play in society, many governments have deliberately set out to strangle criticism in their country. They broken their own laws in their crackdowns against citizens,” My question now is: 1. Is there any charter of human right and principles for the internet?

The matter disclosed on a public mailing list for something that has been logged with Ombudsman or relevant authorities is not for public consumption particularly if determination has yet to be reached. Any organisation operating within the 21st century should have a decent sexual harassment policy and if it does'nt then develop one. For those who wanted justice, public ridicule without proper due process is equally reprehensible as alleged sexual harrassment. The fact that the matter has been logged with appropriate authorities who should also afford the accused party the right to be heard. Personally, I do not see the link to internet governance as this is a matter for relevant authorities.

Like in Ms Padmini's statement, when this was raised at the last IGF during the Gender DC workshop, other participants shared their experience of sexual harassment. So discussing and tackling this issue seriously at esp a space on IG process and policy conversations is critical. Contributes significantly to creating an inclusive, respectful, non-discriminatory and diverse participatory environment. I think the DC is in the process of drafting a proposed policy to be taken up at the upcoming IGF. Would be great to see initiatives build and inform each other, and to also share best practices. There has been many initiatives and models in different contexts that can be drawn from - events, organisational, country specific, space/platform etc. Fully support the idea of a WG in ICANN.

Is there some reason that LDC’s should be denied the means to manage their Internet service provision while Developed Countries are recognizing the need for this.

However, if the organisation has lawyers, and the victims can't afford one, then it should become part of the guidelines to provide a lawyer solely for the victim who is not connected to the organisation or the accused. A legal fund should be readily available for victims to hire lawyers of their choice. May I politely add here that the comparison to the recent issues at JNU cannot serve as a valid analogy to discuss this? Being charged for treason is very different from sexualised violence. The entire dynamics of sexualised violence are essentially connected to patriarchal norms; whereas treason is connected to the paternalistic state flexing its patriarchal muscles, it is still better to compare this issue to case studies or incidents of sexualised violence. In house trials, within the organisations, are a bad idea so avoid creating a legal due process and involve the law IF the victim is willing to. No one should demand survivor be forced to report or keep the proceedings confidential, it's a sole prerogative of a survivor. For example, in Pakistan, women will hesitate to report unless they have support especially from their families. To say a woman hasn't reported without taking into considerations these cultural realities is insensitive and provides impunity to harassers. The conviction rate for rape, for example, is zero for adult women. Very few women can provide solid evidence of rape. In Pakistan, a two finger test to determine virginity is part of the rape test. In essence, women are raped by the medical examiner again after being raped to check if they were "pure". Men will target women who they know are not virgins e.g. divorced women because they know they will get away with rape. Any rhetoric that demands that the victim prove harassment reinforces the problem and leads to blaming the victim. Much harassment is subtle and not noticed by others. At conferences, there is "accidental" touching, staring that others may not notice, using harsh words and tones out of sight of others. Serial harassers excel at these tactics. They are aware of them. Sadly, most victims are not aware of them and if they are told they should not report unless they can "prove" a series of bad incidents occurred, then we're entering very murky territory and are back to reinforcing the problem. For example, if a woman is feeling harassed by her boss, most times, witnesses will not side with her or speak up for her knowing they could lose their jobs. Many will hesitate to report unless they find another job or will not speak up out of fear of someone more powerful than her. We absolutely must discuss power dynamics and the psychology of abuse. In fact, training on this issue alone is a much better idea than training on gender generically. Too much of what is heard in discussions reinforces norms such as "he said/she said" which then leads to assumptions about women being hysterical, difficult and "women scorned" who are reporting after being in consensual relationships. Serial harassers know how to psychologically manipulate women to make it look like they've consented to their own oppression. This, too, shouldn't be acceptable. If we want to make a sincere effort to really fix this problem then we absolutely must trust women when they come forth instead of putting her in a position where she will hesitate to do so unless she has solid evidence of harassment. We also need to reassure the following: that she will be listened to with compassion and sensitivity, that she will supported through the process, that she will be given reassurance that her accuser will not eventually sue her for defamation, and that she will not be demeaned or blamed. Undoing this culture of harassment, which is intrinsically tied to rape culture and power, will necessarily take years. While this is an urgent issue, we should learn from history and realise that simply making policies without action on principles isn't productive and don't solve problems. The feminist mantra of "the personal is political" must also be applied in every organisation. It becomes easy to point fingers at others unless there is some collective responsibility. Hence, I caution that unless we have a well thought out process, we will not be able to eliminate this culture. We could end up with an "us vs them" outlook unless we find a way to address this collectively and sincerely. We should aim for a mind shift which should leads to a culture where perpetrators do not even think of harassing women instead of feeling fear of repercussions if they do.

The Board and the Ombudsman are well within their powers to appoint a committee to investigate the same.

Message-ID: Dear All, Yesterday at 2:38pm an employee in one of the organisation in Ghana was attacked by ransomware by name locky, this ransomware was sent in an email with an attachment , the attachment contained an ms-word document with a malicious macro, the locky program was activated when the user clicked "enable editing " after the document was opened, this macro begun an encryption process using a RSA-2048 and AES-128 algorithm, the encryption process targeted the following file extensions *.docx;*.pdf;*.pptx;*.xlsx;*.doc Yesterday Three US hospitals were hit by "locky" as well,The IT systems of Kentucky Methodist Hospital and Chino Valley Medical Center and Desert Valley Hospital, California, were infected with this ransomware, The files cannot be recovered unless the victim has an offline backup to recover from or pays a ransom with bitcoins via the darkweb,the attackers promise to send the private key in a compiled program to decrypt the victim's files after they receive payment. System restore cannot restore files just settings so it will not help in this case. Third-party recovery software cannot recover the encrypted files because the files are not considered as deleted. The previous ransomware by name "cryptolocker" did not rename the files it encrypted so it was possible to recover your files by using the windows "previous version" feature, however "locky" renames all the files it encrypts so that windows cannot index the file's shadow copies to recover them.

There is no way I could find funding for this participation including because the time available is way too short to do any useful fundraising and of course NAm folks are automatically excluded from any of the more general funding envelopes. What this type of "invitation" does is to more or less automatically exclude everyone from CS who isn't a trustfundarian, a resident of Geneva or the environs, or a staff member of a major NGO with sufficient discretionary funding. This of course is highly highly discriminatory/exclusionary as we all know and has the effect of drastically skewing results of such processes and thus presumably of their outcomes as well. In most cases it doesn't matter as the "opportunity" is of little consequence. In this instance it looks like it may be of more consequence and thus does matter. Could I suggest that the CSCG lodge an appropriate protest in this regard.

My thought is that a solution might be to ask if those of you with access to funders could put together a proposal for a pool to be available every year for a handful of key meetings that would allow those without travel support to have a chance to attend these meetings. Perhaps ISOC would be a contributor to it, or coordinate with it to try and leverage this new mechanism to bring more people to the events where ISOC provides travel funding for some. That said, FWIW, the WSIS Forum is not really politically impactful in my experience - most Geneva based delegates don’t attend if they can help it, for example. > On 26 Mar 2016, at 05:14, Michael Gurstein wrote: > > I must say that I find this process from the UN (again) completely ridiculous however, I think that this one may be material in allowing for some possibly useful inputs from participants as "facilitators" > > I might for example, be interested in volunteering as a "facilitator" but would be immediately (self) excluded because of the requirement that participants need to be self-funded.

CSCG is now conducting its 4th Nomcom since December, and I think the strain is starting to show on representatives who have to devote a lot of time on top of their already considerable contributions to civil society organisations to assessing candidates; and indeed, both Ginger and I as Co-chairs are finding the work burden pretty heavy – particularly when quite a lot of correspondence and positioning is added to the nomcom processes. This is something CSCG has to have a serious discussion about as soon as we get a chance; perhaps rotation of members in nomcoms might be necessary, perhaps some structural changes; all of that needs discussing. But the issues raised here as regards funding our representatives add additional context to this –and I agree that a pool of funding, linked to selection processes,would be really helpful for civil society representation . CSCG has no organisational structure capable of receiving funds; for that to happen, an institutional home would have to be found and agreed to. I think this would be a good step forward. Some sort of institutional home might also allow CSCG to formalise its presence, reduce the administrative burden, fix its website, etc. That is not a trivial undertaking. But for now, if anyone who has some time and skills they would be able to devote to helping CSCG with its workload, or a potential institutional home, it would be great to hear from you. I think we are reaching a point where some effort in consolidating civil society’s presence in the internet governance sphere is becoming very necessary and would be very useful .

The Civil Society Co-ordination Group (CSCG) has been asked to forward four names of civil society representatives to be High Level Track Facilitators (joining facilitators from other stakeholder groups). The attached document gives details of what is required. Please note: High Level Track Facilitators are expected to cover their own fares and accommodation expenses: The main task of each facilitator is to moderate a high level policy session and provide a written executive summary based on interventions and discussion during the session, while capturing the vision, identifying emerging trends, opportunities and challenges shared by the high level speakers. Successful candidates must be able to demonstrate previous experience in this area, combined with a good general knowledge of WSIS issues. Nominations or self-nominations should be sent DIRECTLY to nomcom07 at internetgov-cs.org no later than midnight UTC on Wednesday, April 6. The nominations should include basic biographical information, plus a brief statement outlining relevant experience in similar moderation/ facilitation exercises.

We are happy to inform you that Bangladesh will host the Secretariat of Asia Pacific Telecentre Network (APTN) for next 3 years and Bangladesh Institute of ICT in Development (BIID) will be the host organization for this esteemed regional network. Member countries of APTN voted for Bangladesh to become the Secretariat and serve as the Chair. It may be mentioned that APTN is a regional network of ICT4D practitioners comprising membership of 7 countries namely Bangladesh, Cambodia, Fiji, India, Pakistan, Philippines, Srilanka and Thailand. APTN was initiated by UNESCAP and Telecntre.org Foundation to promote ICT4D focusing telecentres in Asia Pacific region. On this occasion, we like to thanks Dr. Chim, the immediate past Chairman of APTN for her excellent contribution for APTN and lead the organization for last 3 years successfully. We also like to gratitude to all the APTN Member countries for their continuous support and cooperation to make APTN as the most vibrant regional organization for telecentres as well as ICT4D. To foster the ICT4D movement in Asia-Pacific region, we believe, APTN will be the lead agency with support from all relevant stakeholders and will take APTN at greater height. APTN will foster collaborative initiatives among member countries and beyond for knowledge sharing, expert support and expanding networks as priority activities. We request all of you to extend your support to strengthen APTN and build an inclusive knowledge based society in Asia Pacific region.

My thought is that a solution might be to ask if those of you with access to funders could put together a proposal for a pool to be available every year for a handful of key meetings that would allow those without travel support to have a chance to attend these meetings. Perhaps ISOC would be a contributor to it, or coordinate with it to try and leverage this new mechanism to bring more people to the events where ISOC provides travel funding for some. That said, FWIW, the WSIS Forum is not really politically impactful in my experience - most Geneva based delegates don’t attend if they can help it, for example. On 26 Mar 2016, at 05:14, Michael Gurstein > wrote: I must say that I find this process from the UN (again) completely ridiculous however, I think that this one may be material in allowing for some possibly useful inputs from participants as "facilitators" I might for example, be interested in volunteering as a "facilitator" but would be immediately (self) excluded because of the requirement that participants need to be self-funded. There is no way I could find funding for this participation including because the time available is way too short to do any useful fundraising and of course NAm folks are automatically excluded from any of the more general funding envelopes. What this type of "invitation" does is to more or less automatically exclude everyone from CS who isn't a trustfundarian, a resident of Geneva or the environs, or a staff member of a major NGO with sufficient discretionary funding. This of course is highly highly discriminatory/exclusionary as we all know and has the effect of drastically skewing results of such processes and thus presumably of their outcomes as well. In most cases it doesn't matter as the "opportunity" is of little consequence. In this instance it looks like it may be of more consequence and thus does matter. Could I suggest that the CSCG lodge an appropriate protest in this regard.

The Civil Society Co-ordination Group (CSCG) has been asked to forward four names of civil society representatives to be High Level Track Facilitators (joining facilitators from other stakeholder groups). The attached document gives details of what is required. Please note: High Level Track Facilitators are expected to cover their own fares and accommodation expenses: The main task of each facilitator is to moderate a high level policy session and provide a written executive summary based on interventions and discussion during the session, while capturing the vision, identifying emerging trends, opportunities and challenges shared by the high level speakers. Successful candidates must be able to demonstrate previous experience in this area, combined with a good general knowledge of WSIS issues. Nominations or self-nominations should be sent DIRECTLY to nomcom07 at internetgov-cs.org no later than midnight UTC on Wednesday, April 6. The nominations should include basic biographical information, plus a brief statement outlining relevant experience in similar moderation/ facilitation exercises.

In the course of that discussion a challenge was put forward by Bill Smith, a tech industry veteran, Board Member of ISOC and the "tech evangelist" for PayPal as follows (taken from a post to the InternetPolicy elist (Fri 2016-03-25 9:31 AM) What is lacking in the discussion against A4AI, is a well-articulated alternative. Some bits and pieces may appear but they suffer from the same deficiencies attributed to A4AI's principles, best practices, and policy positions - they are offered as fact with no substantiation. A4AI has what I consider a set of easily understandable principles, best practices, and policy positions. I suspect that when applied in practice, they will be effective in many circumstances. They may not be appropriate in all. (Think globally act locally.) What I haven't seen are a similar set of principles, best practices, and policy positions from the non-neoliberal corner. Perhaps such a set could be presented to this list for consideration and debate. This below is my response to this challenge (I have added additional comments by Brandt Dainow also a contributor to the InternetPolicy elist): https://gurstein.wordpress.com/2016/03/26/alternative-best-practices-for-the -a4ai-to-be-renamed-alliance-for-an-accessible-internet/ http://tinyurl.com/zhejpvh M -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

What I wrote was that competitive/market solutions were one among a range of possible solutions, the specifics of which should be determined based on local needs and resources (and not those determined by Washington or London). My proposal was to open up the range of solutions to include for example, locally owned/municipal networks such as those currently being promoted by the Obama government but which are directly excluded by the market fundamentalism of the A4AI “best practices”. In the original blogpost and repeated in the second (directed at the regulator) I suggested that research be conducted to identify empirically the impact of market fundamentalist approaches as well as mixed policy approaches and publicly funded approaches on under/unserved populations. The issue is not which approach makes the Internet cheaper (or faster) but which most effectively (and efficiently) resolves the issues associated with enabling Internet access and use by marginalized and under/unserved populations. Simply making the Internet cheaper advantages those who already have the wherewithal to access the Internet, not in itself a bad thing as it increases the number of those obtaining such access, but which doesn’t obviously resolve the problems of those who do not have the wherewithal to access the Internet at competitive market based prices. And it should be noted that the market fundamentalist approach being insisted upon by A4AI has implications much broader than simply reducing the cost of Internet access. For example the A4AI “Best Practices” also directs the use of Universal Services Funds to an exclusive use in infrastructure development and further structures the process of accessing those funds in such a way as to highly privilege the (international) corporate sector, denying such funds for use by locally developed access programs or governments themselves who might wish to develop programs to service the under/unserved. As well the A4AI requires that national governments commits to the US’s “Internet Freedom” campaign rather than for example to an anchoring of Internet access in the broad range of human rights.

But your answer is full of ideological args. For me, this is very normally. Because our thinking is our "Ideology". You wrote: "... but there is a very great deal of evidence that competitive telecom markets produce lower Internet access prices at higher performance ...". This is a selfmade argumentation. A circle argumentation. You know the situation in the telecommunication and therefore you know all this stupid construction, what we have there. You know all this lies in the term "InterNet". You know, that in the existing telecommunication you never find the Net-structure. Only bus and star. You know the massivly exclusion in the telecommunication, if people have no money to buy the access systems. You know the perverse routing mechanism. You know the big resource burning in the telecommunication systems. All this inefficieny you know. So, in the reality, you know. But not in your thinking. This we call the dogmatic. You look for arguments, to defend the market ideology. And therefore you have to hidden all your knowledge. I know all this contradiction from our discussion on the 1net.org list. 2 years ago. And now i read, you follow all time this dream. Clear, i know, you need your job in this environment. But sometimes, we should go over to find the truth. many greetings, willi St. Elena de Uairen, Venezuela Am 27.03.2016 um 09:37 schrieb Nick Ashton-Hart: > Dear Michael, > > Since you didn’t actually ask for a dialogue, but simply proposed rewriting their activities, I - were I them - would not divine that a dialogue is what you had in mind, quite the opposite in fact. > > As to your views on competitive markets and their suitability, I don’t wish to get into a debate - you are free to think what you like - but there is a very great deal of evidence that competitive telecom markets produce lower Internet access prices at higher performance.

If you were to have an open conversation (I have, many times) with A4Ai I think you will find that you’ve misread them if you take from their approach that only commercial approaches are viable. Doing research on what works locally sounds great, but in many markets the only way to break up the monopoly owned by the Presiden’ts brother is to actually start from the premise that the monopoly owned by the President’s brother has to go and the only way to get independent regulation is actually to call for it. Again, from personal experience, in many countries going in with your approach would equal no change at all. Your approach might work well in a long-standing democracy with established rule of law and middle-income or better GDP. From my experience - and there are many others on this list with far more than mine - it would be frankly hopeless in many less advantaged places. They don’t know what planet you are coming from with the idea of doing unbiased research on the right policy options to get rid of the President’s brother owning the monopoly telephony and Internet provider. As to faster and cheaper being less ideal, again, from personal experience, in countries with low disposable income cheaper = more people connected. Developing cooperative models for community-owned access providers again sounds great, and probably would be great, but is often several steps down the road from just getting affordable access in the first place. To be completely honest, you seem to want to impose your ideal of first-world policy-environment assumptions on everyone everywhere with lots of studies, assumptions of impartiality to those studies, and communally owned infrastructure when people have almost no infrastructure and no tradition of community owned utilities of any kind. The underlying requirements to make your model work simply don’t exist in many parts of the world and frankly, the need to get the unconnected connected means we have to walk before we run. Your model requires the ability to sprint. > On 27 Mar 2016, at 23:05, Michael Gurstein wrote: > > Nick, > > No, you must have misread.

For example the A4AI “Best Practices” also directs the use of Universal Services Funds to an exclusive use in infrastructure development and further structures the process of accessing those funds in such a way as to highly privilege the (international) corporate sector, denying such funds for use by locally developed access programs or governments themselves who might wish to develop programs to service the under/unserved. > > As well the A4AI requires that national governments commits to the US’s “Internet Freedom” campaign rather than for example to an anchoring of Internet access in the broad range of human rights. > > M > > From: Nick Ashton-Hart [mailto:nashton at consensus.pro ] > Sent: March 27, 2016 9:32 AM > To: Michael Gurstein > > Cc: governance at lists.igcaucus.org ; bestbits > > Subject: Re: [governance] Blogpost: Alternative "Best Practices" for the A4AI (to be renamed Alliance for an Accessible Internet) > > Michael, what I get from your blogpost, and your deletion and replacement of market-related provisions is that you object to market-based and competition-based policies.

There are at least 5 organizations represented on this e-list who are members of the A4AI alliance and thus who have committed to the market fundamentalist prescriptions of the “Best Practices” document. I, and perhaps others would be very interested to hear their response to the comments in my blogpost and on the role and significance of market fundamentalism particularly as it impacts on Less Developed Countries and on Internet regulation, policy and governance in general.

If you were to have an open conversation (I have, many times) with A4Ai I think you will find that you’ve misread them if you take from their approach that only commercial approaches are viable. Doing research on what works locally sounds great, but in many markets the only way to break up the monopoly owned by the Presiden’ts brother is to actually start from the premise that the monopoly owned by the President’s brother has to go and the only way to get independent regulation is actually to call for it. Again, from personal experience, in many countries going in with your approach would equal no change at all. Your approach might work well in a long-standing democracy with established rule of law and middle-income or better GDP. From my experience - and there are many others on this list with far more than mine - it would be frankly hopeless in many less advantaged places. They don’t know what planet you are coming from with the idea of doing unbiased research on the right policy options to get rid of the President’s brother owning the monopoly telephony and Internet provider. As to faster and cheaper being less ideal, again, from personal experience, in countries with low disposable income cheaper = more people connected.

In the original blogpost and repeated in the second (directed at the regulator) I suggested that research be conducted to identify empirically the impact of market fundamentalist approaches as well as mixed policy approaches and publicly funded approaches on under/unserved populations. The issue is not which approach makes the Internet cheaper (or faster) but which most effectively (and efficiently) resolves the issues associated with enabling Internet access and use by marginalized and under/unserved populations. Simply making the Internet cheaper advantages those who already have the wherewithal to access the Internet, not in itself a bad thing as it increases the number of those obtaining such access, but which doesn’t obviously resolve the problems of those who do not have the wherewithal to access the Internet at competitive market based prices. And it should be noted that the market fundamentalist approach being insisted upon by A4AI has implications much broader than simply reducing the cost of Internet access. For example the A4AI “Best Practices” also directs the use of Universal Services Funds to an exclusive use in infrastructure development and further structures the process of accessing those funds in such a way as to highly privilege the (international) corporate sector, denying such funds for use by locally developed access programs or governments themselves who might wish to develop programs to service the under/unserved. As well the A4AI requires that national governments commits to the US’s “Internet Freedom” campaign rather than for example to an anchoring of Internet access in the broad range of human rights.

You don’t articulate a clear and evidence-based counter-proposal to replace the language that you don’t like. You may not like markets and competition much, but they at least have a clear track record of success across socio-economic contexts in making the Internet cheaper and faster. I don’t know quite what you want to replace that with, nor how one would even judge on an empirical basis whether it was successful. Or whether it has been in the past.

As to your views on competitive markets and their suitability, I don’t wish to get into a debate - you are free to think what you like - but there is a very great deal of evidence that competitive telecom markets produce lower Internet access prices at higher performance. I am sitting in an LDC which has exactly this experience and it is far from unique. If your objection to markets means you object to this fundamental idea, again, your free to do what you like, but unless you can point to an equally effective non-market-based solution that works at scale and across all levels of economic development I would’t expect your counterargument to get very far.

One thing I want to be very clear about—it is the stated primary objective of the Alliance to ensure that Internet policies in Less Developed Countries conform to the “Best Practices” document. This document from a policy perspective is explicitly market fundamentalist. There is no evidence provided or available that a market fundamentalist approach to providing service to the un or underserved in Less Developed or Least Developed countries is an appropriate one and significant evidence from other sectors that this might not be the appropriate policy strategy. It is noteworthy that otherwise market friendly countries such as the US are now recognizing that domestically, alternative approaches such as municipally/publicly provided broadband infrastructure is the most appropriate way to proceed to ensure service to the marginalized and those who, for example because of geography, are unlikely to ever receive Internet service from commercial providers. I await critical or constructive comments from those CS organizations active both as colleagues in these lists and who are members of the A4AI alliance.

I suspect that will get a better reception from presenting them with a redraft completely out of the blue, without having any dialogue.

In the course of that discussion a challenge was put forward by Bill Smith, a tech industry veteran, Board Member of ISOC and the “tech evangelist” for PayPal as follows (taken from a post to the InternetPolicy elist (Fri 2016-03-25 9:31 AM) What is lacking in the discussion against A4AI, is a well-articulated alternative. Some bits and pieces may appear but they suffer from the same deficiencies attributed to A4AI’s principles, best practices, and policy positions – they are offered as fact with no substantiation. A4AI has what I consider a set of easily understandable principles, best practices, and policy positions. I suspect that when applied in practice, they will be effective in many circumstances. They may not be appropriate in all. (Think globally act locally.) What I haven’t seen are a similar set of principles, best practices, and policy positions from the non-neoliberal corner. Perhaps such a set could be presented to this list for consideration and debate. This below is my response to this challenge (I have added additional comments by Brandt Dainow also a contributor to the InternetPolicy elist): https://gurstein.wordpress.com/2016/03/26/alternative-best-practices-for-the-a4ai-to-be-renamed-alliance-for-an-accessible-internet/ http://tinyurl.com/zhejpvh M ____________________________________________________________ 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...

The need is to adapt the solution to the local/national requirements and resources. The A4AI “Best Practices” attempts to impose a single solution fits all approach (market fundamentalist) as the core objective of the initiative.

If your objection to markets means you object to this fundamental idea, again, your free to do what you like, but unless you can point to an equally effective non-market-based solution that works at scale and across all levels of economic development I would’t expect your counterargument to get very far. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The global south will only benefit if any criticism on effort that helps drive policy towards universal access is followed by tangible but better alternatives. Let us remember this quote, which reigns supreme decades later : *"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."* "Citizenship in a Republic," Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910 - See more at: http://www.theodoreroosevelt.org/site/c.elKSIdOWIiJ8H/b.9297493/k.7CB9/Quotations_from_the_speeches_and_other_works_of_Theodore_Roosevelt.htm#.dpuf On Mar 27, 2016 9:52 AM, "Nick Ashton-Hart" wrote: > Dear Michael, > > May I suggest that in the first instance, before proposing to rewrite > A4Ai’s entire mission and purpose, you and those interested could have a > conversation with them about your concerns? > > I suspect that will get a better reception from presenting them with a > redraft completely out of the blue, without having any dialogue. > > Regards, Nick > > On 26 Mar 2016, at 23:49, Michael Gurstein wrote: > > My original blogpost > > examining the “Policy and Regulatory Best Practices” of the Alliance for > an Affordable Internet (A4AI’s) has > generated some considerable discussion including on the InternetPolicy > elist sponsored by the Internet Society (ISOC). > In the course of that discussion a challenge was put forward by Bill Smith, > a tech industry veteran, Board Member of ISOC and the “tech evangelist” for > PayPal as follows (taken from a post to the InternetPolicy elist (Fri > 2016-03-25 9:31 AM) > *What is lacking in the discussion against A4AI, is a well-articulated > alternative.

I see also a common will to improve things. I call you upon to have an open discussion on the list about these possible improvements. Apart from financing Civil Society engagement in important foras I propose that you open a phase were people can make proposals on the followings - Representativity of the IGC list: If I am not mistaken we are exchanging now on IGC list. Is this list representing overall Civil Society ? I see that there are other Civil Society platforms. Are they all included in this IGC list ? If not, can we imagine a plaform where all relevant lists are représented so that we can share information at the same level. I remember that the question was raised somehow during CSTD nomination process - language : all these debate are only in english. Can we move to a more multilingual system in order to be more inclusive ? - Nomination process to be standardized - Who should talk on behalf of Civil Society during important gathering and what would be the format ? As far as ACSIS is concerned, one of my first actions as new ACSIS chair was to request to Ian (6 months ago) an then to you a better involvement of African Civil Society. ACSIS wishes to be considered as the Civil Society Platform représenting Africa as geographical entity and actively participate. In this regard, we are ready to assit with website and work on CSCG initiatives as requested by Ginger. With my best regards Cisse Kane ACSIS Chair Cher Ginger et tous Je voudrais tout d'abord remercier et féliciter l'équipe de la CSCG pour ses efforts louables dans la coordination des activités de la Société Civile. Je note aussi qu'il y a une volonté générale d'en améliorer le fonctionnement. Je vous invite donc à ce à ouvrir une discussion sur les améliorations possibles. Mis à part le financement de la participation de la Société Civile dans les foras importants, je propose que vous ouvriez une période de discussion où il y aura des propositions sur les améliorations possibles. Parmi les points qui pourraient être soumis à discussion il y a : - La représentativité de la liste IGC par rapport à la CSCG : sauf erreur de ma part, nous échangeons présentement uniquement sur la liste IGC. Est-ce que cette liste est représentative de toute la CSCG ? Apparemment il y a plusieurs plateformes. Sont-elles toutes représentées dans la liste IGC ? Si la réponse est négative, peut-on imaginer une plateforme où toutes les lists importantes sont représentées pour que tout le monde soit au même niveau d'information? Je me souviens qu'il y a eu un débat sur cette question lors du lancement des nominations pour la CSTD. - la question linguistique : tous les débats sur cette list sont (presque exclusivement) en anglais. Y a-t-il un moyen de d'aller vers un minimum de multilinguisme dans nos échanges pour favoriser l'inclusion ? - la standardisation des processus de nomination - qui doit parler au nom de la Société Civil et selon quel format ? Concernant ACSIS, l'une des premières actions que j'ai entreprises en tant que responsable de cette structure est d'écrire à Ian puis à Ginger pour solliciter une plus grande implication de la Société Civile Africaine. ACSIS souhaite être considérée comme une des plateformes de la Société Civile qui représente l'Afrique en tant qu'entité géographique et participer activement. Dans cette perspective, nous sommes prêts à assister la CSCG concernant le site Internet et aussi par rapport aux initiatives de la CSCG selon la demande de Ginger. Avec mes meilleures salutations.

I am suggesting that you might ask your employer/university/organisation to allow you to work on CSCG initiatives during normal working hours, so you can get paid for some of the work you do. Some organisations allow, for example 10-20% of an employee's time to be spent on initiatives like this. Ask! You never know, they might say yes. :) Cheers, Ginger Ginger (Virginia) Paque DiploFoundation DiploFoundation upcoming online courses: http://www.diplomacy.edu/courses On 28 March 2016 at 06:32, Ginger Paque wrote: I strongly support Ian's points.

There is no way I could find funding for this participation including because the time available is way too short to do any useful fundraising and of course NAm folks are automatically excluded from any of the more general funding envelopes. What this type of "invitation" does is to more or less automatically exclude everyone from CS who isn't a trustfundarian, a resident of Geneva or the environs, or a staff member of a major NGO with sufficient discretionary funding. This of course is highly highly discriminatory/exclusionary as we all know and has the effect of drastically skewing results of such processes and thus presumably of their outcomes as well. In most cases it doesn't matter as the "opportunity" is of little consequence. In this instance it looks like it may be of more consequence and thus does matter. Could I suggest that the CSCG lodge an appropriate protest in this regard.

From: Analia Aspis Sent: Friday, March 25, 2016 1:13 AM To: mailto:governance at lists.igcaucus.org Subject: [governance] CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - WSIS FORUM HIGHLEVELTRACK FACILITATORS Dear members, The WSIS Forum will take place in Geneva from May 2-6 this year. The Civil Society Co-ordination Group (CSCG) has been asked to forward four names of civil society representatives to be High Level Track Facilitators (joining facilitators from other stakeholder groups). The attached document gives details of what is required. Please note: High Level Track Facilitators are expected to cover their own fares and accommodation expenses: The main task of each facilitator is to moderate a high level policy session and provide a written executive summary based on interventions and discussion during the session, while capturing the vision, identifying emerging trends, opportunities and challenges shared by the high level speakers. Successful candidates must be able to demonstrate previous experience in this area, combined with a good general knowledge of WSIS issues. Nominations or self-nominations should be sent DIRECTLY to nomcom07 at internetgov-cs.org no later than midnight UTC on Wednesday, April 6. The nominations should include basic biographical information, plus a brief statement outlining relevant experience in similar moderation/ facilitation exercises.

Five organisations currently have representatives on the CSCG, Best Bits (Nadira), JNC (Norbert), IGC (Analia), NCSG (Robin Gross) and APC (Chat Garcia). Each of these representatives carry the CSCG discussions into their named group discussions. It is true that much of Civil Socity is outside of these groups, and must be included peripherally for the moment, and we are reviewing membership and procedures as possible, but have been very busy with just NomComs so far this year. So, the discussions here on the IGC group are the IGC discussing the work of the CSCG. They are not CSCG-wide, they are IGC. Similar discussions should be taking place on the other lists, and their summaries brought into the CSCG work by their representatives. Language is a definite concern, but without any funding, and with all CSCG members working as volunteers, we count on our readers to use Babel, GoogleTranslate or another app to translate into their own working languages. We simply don't have the bandwidth for translations, but are open to any offers for volunteers to work on this. We do have an IGC volunteer working just starting to discuss the possibility of working on the CSCG webpage, to make it more informative and more updated. Again, with absolutely no funding, and our small group stretched to the limit, it is an important, but slow process. Enlarging the group, rotating members, and rotating NomComs are high on the list of CSCG priorities. Choice of representatives for speaking at global meetings are handled on an ad hoc basis, and CS groups work together, when possible with the CSCG, to choose speakers that represent CS. Your request to have ACSIS considered as a new member of the CSCG has been noted, but has not yet been considered. Some of you may know that I have resigned as independent co-chair of the CSCG (for personal/family reasons), and that complicates procedures as the CSCG decides how to move ahead on this circumstance as well. I am continuing until a solution is found, at least as a collaborating observer. I encourage everyone to be involved in the work of the CSCG on their respective lists (IGC/BB/JNC/NCSG/APC) and through their representatives. This is an important function of CS, and is worth the investment of time and energy in support of better CS representation.

There is no way I could find funding for this participation including because the time available is way too short to do any useful fundraising and of course NAm folks are automatically excluded from any of the more general funding envelopes. What this type of "invitation" does is to more or less automatically exclude everyone from CS who isn't a trustfundarian, a resident of Geneva or the environs, or a staff member of a major NGO with sufficient discretionary funding. This of course is highly highly discriminatory/exclusionary as we all know and has the effect of drastically skewing results of such processes and thus presumably of their outcomes as well. In most cases it doesn't matter as the "opportunity" is of little consequence. In this instance it looks like it may be of more consequence and thus does matter. Could I suggest that the CSCG lodge an appropriate protest in this regard.

The Civil Society Co-ordination Group (CSCG) has been asked to forward four names of civil society representatives to be High Level Track Facilitators (joining facilitators from other stakeholder groups). The attached document gives details of what is required. Please note: High Level Track Facilitators are expected to cover their own fares and accommodation expenses: The main task of each facilitator is to moderate a high level policy session and provide a written executive summary based on interventions and discussion during the session, while capturing the vision, identifying emerging trends, opportunities and challenges shared by the high level speakers. Successful candidates must be able to demonstrate previous experience in this area, combined with a good general knowledge of WSIS issues. Nominations or self-nominations should be sent DIRECTLY to nomcom07 at internetgov-cs.org no later than midnight UTC on Wednesday, April 6. The nominations should include basic biographical information, plus a brief statement outlining relevant experience in similar moderation/ facilitation exercises.

I wanted to re-confirm that ICANN ’s staff and Board takes the issue of harassment or other improper conduct at its meetings very seriously. We do not condone any such conduct, and there should be zero tolerance for it within the community.   As an organization, ICANN has robust internal policies regarding the issue, including mandatory training for staff and Board members. However, ICANN community members are not bound to the same policies and rules. We do require all community members to adhere to the Expected Standards of Behavior. While we understand that the language of these Standards does not specifically address harassment, these Standards do provide our global, diverse multistakeholder community with a set of high-level guidelines for interacting with one another, which encompasses harassment and other improper treatment of others. As the Board previously committed, we are looking at whether it makes sense to enhance this language. Both staff and the Board are committed to starting a discussion with the community on a possible path forward as well. This is an area where we feel it most appropriate that the community should lead any policy development to look into a process for handling harassment complaints. ICANN staff and Board will support as appropriate. While the ICANN Ombudsman appropriately continues with his confidential investigation into specific matters, we ask that everyone read the Expected Standards of Behavior and conduct themselves with respect toward others. This includes: Treat all members of the  ICANN community equally, irrespective of nationality, gender, racial or ethnic origin, religion or beliefs, disability, age, or sexual orientation; members of the  ICANN  community should treat each other with civility both face to face and online.

La SC y sera présente. L'urgence est donc de déterminer dès maintenant la date et le lieu de l'assemblée plénière de la SC qui sera chargée de discuter et qui aura naturellement le mandat de décider des priorités et des grandes lignes des contributions de la SC lors des diverses sessions, ateliers ou autres événements. Je suggère la soirée de lundi 2 mai dans une salle sur place à réserver dès que possible auprès du "WSIS Team". Nous pourrons alors convenir de nos réunions plénières journalières pour faire le point régulièrement et désigner nos représentants et intervenants du lendemain.   Il est temps de revenir à un fonctionnement plus humain, des échanges enrichissants et des contributions qui marquent nos priorités et promeuvent nos objectifs communs. C'est comme cela que la SC a pu garder sa relative cohésion et se faire respecter. Voire de valablement contribuer aux documents officiels des Sommets de Genève puis de Tunis, bien que cet apport ait été limité comme nos Déclarations l'ont précisé.   Il faut absolument que la SC se retrouve et retrouve la cordialité des échanges humains !

As you will have seen, Ginger has resigned from CSCG for personal/family reasons – and that leaves a difficult gap to fill, and we do need fresh energy. I think many of us realise CSCG has to change and adapt, but getting agreement on the best way to do this may not be easy. My own thoughts currently would be to set up a working group to discuss this, and the various options available to us. I would urge you to get involved and bring your perspectives to that discussion. It may be a few weeks before we can devote much energy to this, as we have 2 Nomcoms under way currently. In the mean time, discussion here is more than welcome and I would welcome anyone taking the initiative to move this further.

Five organisations currently have representatives on the CSCG, Best Bits (Nadira), JNC (Norbert), IGC (Analia), NCSG (Robin Gross) and APC (Chat Garcia). Each of these representatives carry the CSCG discussions into their named group discussions. It is true that much of Civil Socity is outside of these groups, and must be included peripherally for the moment, and we are reviewing membership and procedures as possible, but have been very busy with just NomComs so far this year. So, the discussions here on the IGC group are the IGC discussing the work of the CSCG. They are not CSCG-wide, they are IGC. Similar discussions should be taking place on the other lists, and their summaries brought into the CSCG work by their representatives. Language is a definite concern, but without any funding, and with all CSCG members working as volunteers, we count on our readers to use Babel, GoogleTranslate or another app to translate into their own working languages. We simply don't have the bandwidth for translations, but are open to any offers for volunteers to work on this. We do have an IGC volunteer working just starting to discuss the possibility of working on the CSCG webpage, to make it more informative and more updated. Again, with absolutely no funding, and our small group stretched to the limit, it is an important, but slow process. Enlarging the group, rotating members, and rotating NomComs are high on the list of CSCG priorities. Choice of representatives for speaking at global meetings are handled on an ad hoc basis, and CS groups work together, when possible with the CSCG, to choose speakers that represent CS. Your request to have ACSIS considered as a new member of the CSCG has been noted, but has not yet been considered. Some of you may know that I have resigned as independent co-chair of the CSCG (for personal/family reasons), and that complicates procedures as the CSCG decides how to move ahead on this circumstance as well. I am continuing until a solution is found, at least as a collaborating observer. I encourage everyone to be involved in the work of the CSCG on their respective lists (IGC/BB/JNC/NCSG/APC) and through their representatives. This is an important function of CS, and is worth the investment of time and energy in support of better CS representation.

With my best regards Cisse Kane ACSIS Chair Cher Ginger et tous Je voudrais tout d'abord remercier et féliciter l'équipe de la CSCG pour ses efforts louables dans la coordination des activités de la Société Civile. Je note aussi qu'il y a une volonté générale d'en améliorer le fonctionnement. Je vous invite donc à ce à ouvrir une discussion sur les améliorations possibles. Mis à part le financement de la participation de la Société Civile dans les foras importants, je propose que vous ouvriez une période de discussion où il y aura des propositions sur les améliorations possibles. Parmi les points qui pourraient être soumis à discussion il y a : - La représentativité de la liste IGC par rapport à la CSCG : sauf erreur de ma part, nous échangeons présentement uniquement sur la liste IGC. Est-ce que cette liste est représentative de toute la CSCG ? Apparemment il y a plusieurs plateformes. Sont-elles toutes représentées dans la liste IGC ? Si la réponse est négative, peut-on imaginer une plateforme où toutes les lists importantes sont représentées pour que tout le monde soit au même niveau d'information? Je me souviens qu'il y a eu un débat sur cette question lors du lancement des nominations pour la CSTD. - la question linguistique : tous les débats sur cette list sont (presque exclusivement) en anglais. Y a-t-il un moyen de d'aller vers un minimum de multilinguisme dans nos échanges pour favoriser l'inclusion ? - la standardisation des processus de nomination - qui doit parler au nom de la Société Civil et selon quel format ? Concernant ACSIS, l'une des premières actions que j'ai entreprises en tant que responsable de cette structure est d'écrire à Ian puis à Ginger pour solliciter une plus grande implication de la Société Civile Africaine. ACSIS souhaite être considérée comme une des plateformes de la Société Civile qui représente l'Afrique en tant qu'entité géographique et participer activement. Dans cette perspective, nous sommes prêts à assister la CSCG concernant le site Internet et aussi par rapport aux initiatives de la CSCG selon la demande de Ginger. Avec mes meilleures salutations.

I am suggesting that you might ask your employer/university/organisation to allow you to work on CSCG initiatives during normal working hours, so you can get paid for some of the work you do. Some organisations allow, for example 10-20% of an employee's time to be spent on initiatives like this. Ask! You never know, they might say yes. :) Cheers, Ginger Ginger (Virginia) Paque DiploFoundation DiploFoundation upcoming online courses: http://www.diplomacy.edu/courses On 28 March 2016 at 06:32, Ginger Paque wrote: I strongly support Ian's points.

There is no way I could find funding for this participation including because the time available is way too short to do any useful fundraising and of course NAm folks are automatically excluded from any of the more general funding envelopes. What this type of "invitation" does is to more or less automatically exclude everyone from CS who isn't a trustfundarian, a resident of Geneva or the environs, or a staff member of a major NGO with sufficient discretionary funding. This of course is highly highly discriminatory/exclusionary as we all know and has the effect of drastically skewing results of such processes and thus presumably of their outcomes as well. In most cases it doesn't matter as the "opportunity" is of little consequence. In this instance it looks like it may be of more consequence and thus does matter. Could I suggest that the CSCG lodge an appropriate protest in this regard.

The Civil Society Co-ordination Group (CSCG) has been asked to forward four names of civil society representatives to be High Level Track Facilitators (joining facilitators from other stakeholder groups). The attached document gives details of what is required. Please note: High Level Track Facilitators are expected to cover their own fares and accommodation expenses: The main task of each facilitator is to moderate a high level policy session and provide a written executive summary based on interventions and discussion during the session, while capturing the vision, identifying emerging trends, opportunities and challenges shared by the high level speakers. Successful candidates must be able to demonstrate previous experience in this area, combined with a good general knowledge of WSIS issues. Nominations or self-nominations should be sent DIRECTLY to nomcom07 at internetgov-cs.org no later than midnight UTC on Wednesday, April 6. The nominations should include basic biographical information, plus a brief statement outlining relevant experience in similar moderation/ facilitation exercises.

Après utilisations de ces différents modes de communication, il devient impératif de passer à une concertation physique, seule opportunité où les décisions peuvent se prendre en donnant la possibilité que l’on se regarde dans les yeux. L’expérience de notre implication lors des différentes phases du SMSI doit nous permettre de faire de grands pas, tout en favorisant le grand rassemblement en vue de la consolidation de nos acquis. Comme on le dit très souvent « together we stand ». En effet, dans le souci de jouer un rôle efficace et en phase avec le processus du prochain forum, nous pouvons envisager notre réunion la veille (1er mai au soir) ce qui nous permettra de mettre au point une planification et réglage pour une participation active. La proposition de mettre sur pied un groupe de travail est pertinente, cependant il faudrait que ceci soit circonscrit dans le temps, afin de nous permettre d’avancer dans les délais des échéances qui nous interpellent de manière urgente.

And Ginger has shed some lights and opened up for more discussion. I personally commend and appreciate the coordination role the CSCG is playing within the CS. Any initiative aiming at supporting their work is timely. I will be glad to join the working group at the time it will be set up. Meanwhile, i encourage people to show interest in jumping in, taking some responsability as Ginger called for. And look into the option of your employer to allow you to (for an official/professional involvement).

Five organisations currently have representatives on the CSCG, Best Bits (Nadira), JNC (Norbert), IGC (Analia), NCSG (Robin Gross) and APC (Chat Garcia). Each of these representatives carry the CSCG discussions into their named group discussions. It is true that much of Civil Socity is outside of these groups, and must be included peripherally for the moment, and we are reviewing membership and procedures as possible, but have been very busy with just NomComs so far this year. So, the discussions here on the IGC group are the IGC discussing the work of the CSCG. They are not CSCG-wide, they are IGC. Similar discussions should be taking place on the other lists, and their summaries brought into the CSCG work by their representatives. Language is a definite concern, but without any funding, and with all CSCG members working as volunteers, we count on our readers to use Babel, GoogleTranslate or another app to translate into their own working languages. We simply don't have the bandwidth for translations, but are open to any offers for volunteers to work on this. We do have an IGC volunteer working just starting to discuss the possibility of working on the CSCG webpage, to make it more informative and more updated. Again, with absolutely no funding, and our small group stretched to the limit, it is an important, but slow process. Enlarging the group, rotating members, and rotating NomComs are high on the list of CSCG priorities. Choice of representatives for speaking at global meetings are handled on an ad hoc basis, and CS groups work together, when possible with the CSCG, to choose speakers that represent CS. Your request to have ACSIS considered as a new member of the CSCG has been noted, but has not yet been considered. Some of you may know that I have resigned as independent co-chair of the CSCG (for personal/family reasons), and that complicates procedures as the CSCG decides how to move ahead on this circumstance as well. I am continuing until a solution is found, at least as a collaborating observer. I encourage everyone to be involved in the work of the CSCG on their respective lists (IGC/BB/JNC/NCSG/APC) and through their representatives. This is an important function of CS, and is worth the investment of time and energy in support of better CS representation.

In this regard, we are ready to assit with website and work on CSCG initiatives as requested by Ginger. With my best regards Cisse Kane ACSIS Chair Cher Ginger et tous Je voudrais tout d'abord remercier et féliciter l'équipe de la CSCG pour ses efforts louables dans la coordination des activités de la Société Civile. Je note aussi qu'il y a une volonté générale d'en améliorer le fonctionnement. Je vous invite donc à ce à ouvrir une discussion sur les améliorations possibles. Mis à part le financement de la participation de la Société Civile dans les foras importants, je propose que vous ouvriez une période de discussion où il y aura des propositions sur les améliorations possibles. Parmi les points qui pourraient être soumis à discussion il y a : - La représentativité de la liste IGC par rapport à la CSCG : sauf erreur de ma part, nous échangeons présentement uniquement sur la liste IGC. Est-ce que cette liste est représentative de toute la CSCG ? Apparemment il y a plusieurs plateformes. Sont-elles toutes représentées dans la liste IGC ? Si la réponse est négative, peut-on imaginer une plateforme où toutes les lists importantes sont représentées pour que tout le monde soit au même niveau d'information? Je me souviens qu'il y a eu un débat sur cette question lors du lancement des nominations pour la CSTD. - la question linguistique : tous les débats sur cette list sont (presque exclusivement) en anglais. Y a-t-il un moyen de d'aller vers un minimum de multilinguisme dans nos échanges pour favoriser l'inclusion ? - la standardisation des processus de nomination - qui doit parler au nom de la Société Civil et selon quel format ? Concernant ACSIS, l'une des premières actions que j'ai entreprises en tant que responsable de cette structure est d'écrire à Ian puis à Ginger pour solliciter une plus grande implication de la Société Civile Africaine. ACSIS souhaite être considérée comme une des plateformes de la Société Civile qui représente l'Afrique en tant qu'entité géographique et participer activement. Dans cette perspective, nous sommes prêts à assister la CSCG concernant le site Internet et aussi par rapport aux initiatives de la CSCG selon la demande de Ginger. Avec mes meilleures salutations.

My own thoughts currently would be to set up a working group to discuss this, and the various options available to us. I would urge you to get involved and bring your perspectives to that discussion. It may be a few weeks before we can devote much energy to this, as we have 2 Nomcoms under way currently. In the mean time, discussion here is more than welcome and I would welcome anyone taking the initiative to move this further.  Ian Peter From: cisse.kane at bluewin.ch Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2016 5:30 AMTo: governance at lists.igcaucus.org ; Ginger Paque Cc: gurstein at gmail.com ; ian.peter at ianpeter.com ; cs-coord at internetgov-cs.org ; compsoftnet at gmail.com ; governance at lists.igcaucus.org Subject: Re: Re: [governance] CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - WSIS FORUM HIGHLEVELTRACK FACILITATORS Many thanks Ginger for these explanations !

Five organisations currently have representatives on the CSCG, Best Bits (Nadira), JNC (Norbert), IGC (Analia), NCSG (Robin Gross) and APC (Chat Garcia). Each of these representatives carry the CSCG discussions into their named group discussions. It is true that much of Civil Socity is outside of these groups, and must be included peripherally for the moment, and we are reviewing membership and procedures as possible, but have been very busy with just NomComs so far this year. So, the discussions here on the IGC group are the IGC discussing the work of the CSCG. They are not CSCG-wide, they are IGC. Similar discussions should be taking place on the other lists, and their summaries brought into the CSCG work by their representatives.

Congratulations to those selected. Deirdre ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ian Peter Date: 30 March 2016 at 17:54 Subject: [Nomcom06] Fw: Civil Society Nominations for WGEC - selections from Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG) To: cs-coord at internetgov-cs.org, CSCG NomCom for the CSTD WG on Enhanced Cooperation *From:* Ian Peter *Sent:* Thursday, March 31, 2016 8:45 AM *To:* Peter Major ; 'Ginger Paque' *Cc:* stdev at unctad.org *Subject:* Civil Society Nominations for WGEC - selections from Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG) Dear Peter, We submit to you the five names selected by the Civil Society Co-ordination Group (CSCG) to represent us on the new Working Group on Enhanced Co-operation. Our names are: *Richard Hill (WEOG)* *Lea Kaspar (EE)* *Parminder Singh (AP)* *Carlos Afonso (GRULAC)* *Anriette Esterhuysen (AFRICA).* These were chosen from a total of twenty-five candidates submitted via our various networks, as well as directly to the Nomcom, in accordance with our Procedures outlined at http://internetgov-cs.org/procedures. In choosing representatives, we were concerned to ensure both gender and geographic balance: but also to combine previous experience and knowledge in this field with the introduction of new articulate voices from the civil society grouping. We were also concerned to ensure that the range of political perspectives which exist within civil society were adequately represented. This was an extremely difficult decision for us, given the range of excellent candidates available. But we believe the selected representatives will each bring a unique but representative perspective to your deliberations. Biographical details for the selected candidates appear below (we will forward email contact details separately). Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require further information, or if there are any concerns about any of these nominations. Sincerely, Ian Peter and Ginger Paque, Co-chairs, CSCG (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. Together the reach of these groups extends to many hundreds of non-governmental organisations, as well as a great number of individuals. ) *NOMINEE DETAILS* *RICHARD HILL* Richard Hill is a member of the Just Net Coalition's Steering Committee and the president of the Association for Proper Internet Governance, a non-profit organization based in Geneva, Switzerland.

CS will be present there. It is therefore urgent to determine right now the date, time and place of the CS Plenary which will be in charge of discussions and which will have quite naturally the mandate for deciding priorities and for outlining CS contributions during the different sessions, workshops and other events. I suggest Monday 2nd May evening in an on-site room to be reserved as soon as possible at « WSIS Team » office. Then we should  be able to agree upon our daily plenaries  to take stock of the situation and nominate our representatives and speakers in the next day sessions.   It’s time to return to a more human functioning, to rewarding exchanges and to contributions that are marking our priorities and that promote our common goals. This is the way by which CS has been able to maintain its relative group cohesion and to be respected. Or even to valuably contribute to the official documents of the Geneva and the Tunis Summits, even if this contribution was rather limited as our own Declarations specified it.     CS must absolutely find itself again and recover the friendliness of human exchanges ! Because never can these be achieved exclusively by electronic ways.   Friendly Jean-Louis Fullsack           > Message du 29/03/16 19:24 > De : "cisse.kane at bluewin.ch" > A : governance at lists.igcaucus.org, "Ginger Paque" > Copie à : compsoftnet at gmail.com, governance at lists.igcaucus.org, ian.peter at ianpeter.com, gurstein at gmail.com > Objet : Re: [governance] CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - WSIS FORUM HIGHLEVELTRACK FACILITATORS > > (FRANçAIS PLUS BAS) > Dear Ginger and all > > First I wanted to thank and congratulate CSCG leading team for the efforts in coordinating Civil Society activities. > I see also a common will to improve things.

I am suggesting that you might ask your employer/university/organisation to allow you to work on CSCG initiatives during normal working hours, so you can get paid for some of the work you do. Some organisations allow, for example 10-20% of an employee's time to be spent on initiatives like this. Ask!

There is no way I could find funding for this participation including because the time available is way too short to do any useful fundraising and of course NAm folks are automatically excluded from any of the more general funding envelopes.   What this type of "invitation" does is to more or less automatically exclude everyone from CS who isn't a trustfundarian, a resident of Geneva or the environs, or a staff member of a major NGO with sufficient discretionary funding.  This of course is highly highly discriminatory/exclusionary as we all know and has the effect of drastically skewing results of such processes and thus presumably of their outcomes as well.   In most cases it doesn't matter as the "opportunity" is of little consequence.  In this instance it looks like it may be of more consequence and thus does matter.   Could I suggest that the CSCG lodge an appropriate protest in this regard.   M     From: governance-request at lists.igcaucus.org [mailto:governance-request at lists.igcaucus.org] On Behalf Of Ian Peter > Sent: March 24, 2016 1:08 PM > To: Analia Aspis ; governance at lists.igcaucus.org > Subject: Re: [governance] CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - WSIS FORUM HIGHLEVELTRACK FACILITATORS   attached the document Analia is referring to below.   From: Analia Aspis Sent: Friday, March 25, 2016 1:13 AM To: mailto:governance at lists.igcaucus.org Subject: [governance] CALL FOR NOMINATIONS - WSIS FORUM HIGHLEVELTRACK FACILITATORS   Dear members, The WSIS Forum will take place in Geneva from May 2-6 this year. The Civil Society Co-ordination Group (CSCG) has been asked to forward four names of civil society representatives to be High Level Track Facilitators (joining facilitators from other stakeholder groups). The attached document gives details of what is required.

Deirdre ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ian Peter Date: 30 March 2016 at 17:54 Subject: [Nomcom06] Fw: Civil Society Nominations for WGEC - selections from Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG) To: cs-coord at internetgov-cs.org, CSCG NomCom for the CSTD WG on Enhanced Cooperation From: Ian Peter Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2016 8:45 AM To: Peter Major ; 'Ginger Paque' Cc: stdev at unctad.org Subject: Civil Society Nominations for WGEC - selections from Civil Society Coordination Group (CSCG) Dear Peter, We submit to you the five names selected by the Civil Society Co-ordination Group (CSCG) to represent us on the new Working Group on Enhanced Co-operation. Our names are: Richard Hill (WEOG) Lea Kaspar (EE) Parminder Singh (AP) Carlos Afonso (GRULAC) Anriette Esterhuysen (AFRICA). These were chosen from a total of twenty-five candidates submitted via our various networks, as well as directly to the Nomcom, in accordance with our Procedures outlined at http://internetgov-cs.org/procedures. In choosing representatives, we were concerned to ensure both gender and geographic balance: but also to combine previous experience and knowledge in this field with the introduction of new articulate voices from the civil society grouping. We were also concerned to ensure that the range of political perspectives which exist within civil society were adequately represented. This was an extremely difficult decision for us, given the range of excellent candidates available. But we believe the selected representatives will each bring a unique but representative perspective to your deliberations. Biographical details for the selected candidates appear below (we will forward email contact details separately). Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require further information, or if there are any concerns about any of these nominations. Sincerely, Ian Peter and Ginger Paque, Co-chairs, CSCG (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. Together the reach of these groups extends to many hundreds of non-governmental organisations, as well as a great number of individuals. ) NOMINEE DETAILS RICHARD HILL Richard Hill is a member of the Just Net Coalition's Steering Committee and the president of the Association for Proper Internet Governance, a non-profit organization based in Geneva, Switzerland. He has an extensive background in information systems, telecommunications, negotiation, mediation, conflict management, and Internet governance. He is a vice-Chair of ISOCCH and of ISOC's newly-created Chapters Advisory Council. Richard was with ITU from 2001 to 2012 and was part of the WSIS secretariat team dealing with Internet governance; he was involved in WGIG, and in various ITU discussions on Internet-related matters. Richard is an accredited mediator, an active domain name arbitrator, and one of the ICANN PICDRP arbitrators. He has published papers on mediation, computer-related intellectual property issues, and Internet governance, and contributes to discussions on various mailing lists. Richard was a commenting observer with the previous WGEC. LEA KASPAR Lea Kaspar heads Global Partner Digital's (GPD) programmatic portfolio and leads the organisation’s international policy arm. Since joining GPD in 2012, she has been concentrating upon facilitating multistakeholder dialogue and civil society engagement in international internet governance debates. She has developed and coordinated information sharing, capacity building, and advocacy initiatives at the Global Conference on Cyberspace (GCCS), NETmundial, the WSIS+10 Review process, the 2013-2014 UN CSTD Working Group on Enhanced Cooperation (WGEC), and various processes of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). She is a member of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG), a member of the UK Multistakeholder Group on Internet Governance (MAGIG), and sits on the Steering Committee of the UK IGF. During the 2013-14 WGEC, she participated as an active observer in 4 out of 5 meetings of the Group. Following its establishment, she joined the WGEC Correspondence Group, and played a critical role in developing the mapping output of the Group, which served as the basis for the CSTD mapping report issued in November 2014. Through this engagement, she gained invaluable insight into the dynamics of the enhanced cooperation debate. PARMINDER SINGH Parminder is Executive Director of IT for Change, an India based NGO, in Special Consultative Status with UN's Economic and Social Council. This Special Status has been granted to IT for Change for its work at the global level on Information Society issues at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and thereafter. IT for Change's core mandate is to work at the intersection of new ICTs and progressive social change, from the standpoint of equity and social justice. The interests of marginalized sections, including women, remain IT for Change's key focus. IT for Change is widely acknowledged to be a key actor bringing representation of voices from the South, and those generally of marginalized sections, to global forums on information society and Internet governance. Parminder leads IT for Change's work in the area of governance reform and community informatics, and has been its main representative in IG spaces at the global and national levels. His previous work on the CSTD WGEC continues the institutional memory and concern for global south issues. CARLOS AFONSO Carlos A.

Mr Afonso was one of the participants in the last WGEC.

CS will be present there. It is therefore urgent to determine right now the date, time and place of the CS Plenary which will be in charge of discussions and which will have quite naturally the mandate for deciding priorities and for outlining CS contributions during the different sessions, workshops and other events. I suggest Monday 2nd May evening in an on-site room to be reserved as soon as possible at « WSIS Team » office. Then we should be able to agree upon our daily plenaries to take stock of the situation and nominate our representatives and speakers in the next day sessions. It’s time to return to a more human functioning, to rewarding exchanges and to contributions that are marking our priorities and that promote our common goals. This is the way by which CS has been able to maintain its relative group cohesion and to be respected. Or even to valuably contribute to the official documents of the Geneva and the Tunis Summits, even if this contribution was rather limited as our own Declarations specified it. CS must absolutely find itself again and recover the friendliness of human exchanges ! Because never can these be achieved exclusively by electronic ways.

I am suggesting that you might ask your employer/university/organisation to allow you to work on CSCG initiatives during normal working hours, so you can get paid for some of the work you do. Some organisations allow, for example 10-20% of an employee's time to be spent on initiatives like this. Ask! You never know, they might say yes. :) > Cheers, > Ginger > Ginger (Virginia) Paque DiploFoundation DiploFoundation upcoming online courses: http://www.diplomacy.edu/courses > > On 28 March 2016 at 06:32, Ginger Paque wrote: > I strongly support Ian's points.

Think about it. This is close to home--we are working to get our representatives placed and heard -- we must invest in the process to select them.

There is no way I could find funding for this participation including because the time available is way too short to do any useful fundraising and of course NAm folks are automatically excluded from any of the more general funding envelopes. What this type of "invitation" does is to more or less automatically exclude everyone from CS who isn't a trustfundarian, a resident of Geneva or the environs, or a staff member of a major NGO with sufficient discretionary funding. This of course is highly highly discriminatory/exclusionary as we all know and has the effect of drastically skewing results of such processes and thus presumably of their outcomes as well. In most cases it doesn't matter as the "opportunity" is of little consequence. In this instance it looks like it may be of more consequence and thus does matter. Could I suggest that the CSCG lodge an appropriate protest in this regard.

The Civil Society Co-ordination Group (CSCG) has been asked to forward four names of civil society representatives to be High Level Track Facilitators (joining facilitators from other stakeholder groups). The attached document gives details of what is required. Please note: High Level Track Facilitators are expected to cover their own fares and accommodation expenses: The main task of each facilitator is to moderate a high level policy session and provide a written executive summary based on interventions and discussion during the session, while capturing the vision, identifying emerging trends, opportunities and challenges shared by the high level speakers. Successful candidates must be able to demonstrate previous experience in this area, combined with a good general knowledge of WSIS issues. Nominations or self-nominations should be sent DIRECTLY to nomcom07 at internetgov-cs.org no later than midnight UTC on Wednesday, April 6. The nominations should include basic biographical information, plus a brief statement outlining relevant experience in similar moderation/ facilitation exercises.

Many people seem to be unaware that many of these meetings are available to remote participants. I find it difficult to understand how we extol the technology for how it solves the problems of others, and yet are reluctant to use it to solve our own problems. Remote participation is NOT "being there" but it has its advantages too. And the more we use it, the more we clamour for it, the more it will improve. So let's do both - refine the system including how funding may be accessed, but also be there in large numbers in the chat boxes and sidebars whenever there's a meeting. Best wishes Deirdre Estimado José Felix, Estoy de acuerdo con todo el mundo trata de buscar soluciones de financiación, peros hasta que eso ocurra creo que debe utilizar nuestro ingenio para hacer que la technologia facilitadores nos, tanto en la forma de participar en estos eventos, y en el asunto de facilitar la comunicación entre idiomas. Muchas personas parecen ser no cuenta de que muchas de estas reuniones están disponibles para los asistentes remotos. Me resulta difícil entender cómo nos proclamamos la tecnología de cómo resuelve los problemas de los demás, y sin embargo, son reacios a utilizar a nuestro solucionador de problemas propios. La participación a distancia NO es "estar allí" peros su tiene ventajas también. La usamos y cuanto más, más clamamos por ello, más se va a mejorar. Ambos vamos a saltar hacia atrás - refinaron el sistema incluyendo cómo se puede acceder a la financiación, peros también estar allí en gran número en las sala de chat y barras laterales cada vez que hay una reunión. ¡Mis mejores deseos Deirdre (Please excuse my poor Spanish) (Por favor, disculpe mi pobre español) On 31 March 2016 at 16:08, José Félix Arias Ynche wrote: > Estoy de acuerdo con el comentario relacionado con la financiación. > > Estoy de acuerdo con Michael Gurstein, sobre este proceso de la ONU, > aparte de ser ridículo es discriminatorio, puedo estar interesado pero > si no tengo la financiación adecuada y oportuna simplemente me > votan... > > > Estoy de acuerdo con Sonigitu Ekpe, Una forma perfecta es > institucionalizar CSCG- y todo se resolverá. > > Me pregunto; no hay alguna ONG, que quiera ayudarnos, o tenemos que crear > una... > > > Cordialmente: José Félix Arias Ynche > Investigador Social Para El Desarrollo Sostenible > > > 2016-03-31 10:24 GMT-05:00 Deirdre Williams : > > Oh Jean-Louis - repons lan se wi, yes, oui, si, 是, はい, да, نعم فعلا, > ndiyo, > > ........ > > Will it be possibly to participate remotely? > > Best wishes > > Deirdre > > > > On 31 March 2016 at 08:31, Jean-Louis FULLSACK > wrote: > >> > >> (french version : se mail sent two days ago) > >> > >> > >> > >> Thanks Cisse > >> > >> > >> > >> for this mail which questions us at least for two reasons : > >> > >> - CSs representativeness in the WSIS + process (the Fora, IGF, > >> etc) > >> > >> - CS internal exchanges : elective modalities, linguistic > >> diversity (place of French, Spanish, …), programmatic content, etc > >> > >> > >> > >> Exactly one month from now on WSIS Forum 2016 will open in Geneva.

We hope that geographical balance will be taken into account regarding civil society representation in the working group. In this regard, ACSIS would be very happy to be part of the process. ACSIS is the unique pan African civil society organization, which aims to promote sustainable ICT4 Development for the benefit of African communities at a continental and national level (hundreds of community organizations across Africa and the African Diaspora). ACSIS was launched during the first phase of the WSIS. ACSIS members (community organizations as well as individuals) participate actively in the implementation of an inclusive Information society in Africa. We feel that it is important that we take part in the process that was initiated by CSTD. Relevant questions regarding enhanced cooperation are of importance for Africa were we face many challenges. ACSIS involvement in this working group will help to have better representability of the African continent as important issues will be nurtured ( discussed and validated) through ACSIS Network, after broad consultations. On a personal basis, I have more than 18 years’ experience in ICT development issues, including project and program management in African countries (decentralization, digital education, e-waste management, advocacy, financing ICT for development, international negotiations, and urban services, at UNITAR, the DSF and as Civil Society member. I was involved in the WSIS process since the beginning, as founding member of various civil society organizations like Yaakaare, DAPSI, etc. Since 2009, I was involved in ACSIS management team as vice-Chair and as ACSIS acting chair since September 2015. My motivation to be member of the civil Society Group for CSTD is to help better stressing Africa needs and priorities. I hold a PhD development studies and I work easily in English French and Arabic. With the support of ACSIS network, I would like to emphasize the following issues in the framework of the Working group on Enhanced cooperation in developing recommendations regarding Africa. - Access to knowledge society. - Ways of financing ICT4D in Africa (Access, capacity building and sensitization ) - Literacy - Multiligualism and digital local contents - Strengthening civil society participation and involvement at a continental and international level; weigh on the destiny of our continent in a multistakeholder group - Digital policies and Internet governance - Cybersecurity - etc. I thank you for your attention.

Nous espérons que l'équilibre géographique sera pris en compte en ce qui concerne la représentation de la société civile dans le groupe de travail. À cet égard, la SCASI serait très heureuse de faire partie du processus. ACSIS est l'unique organisation panafricaine de la société civile, qui vise à promouvoir le développement de ICT4D durable au profit des communautés africaines au niveau continental et national (des centaines d’organisations communautaires à travers l'Afrique et la diaspora africaine). ACSIS a été lancé au cours de la première phase du SMSI. Les membres de ACSIS-SCASI (les organisations communautaires ainsi que les particuliers) participent activement à la mise en œuvre d'une société de l'information inclusive en Afrique. Nous estimons qu'il est important que nous prenions part au processus qui a été initié par CSTD. Des questions pertinentes relatives à la coopération renforcée sont d'une importance capitale pour l'Afrique où nous sommes confrontés à de nombreux défis. L’implication d’ACSIS dans ce groupe de travail vous aidera à avoir une meilleure représentabilité du continent africain. Les questions importantes seront nourries (discutées et validées) par les membres du réseau ACSIS, après de larges consultations. Sur une base personnelle, j'ai une expérience de plus de 18 ans en matière de développement des TIC, y compris et la gestion de projets et programmes dans les pays africains (la décentralisation, l'éducation numérique, la gestion des déchets électroniques, le plaidoyer, le financement des TIC pour le développement, les négociations internationales, et les services urbains, à l'UNITAR, le FSN et en tant que membre de la société civile. Je suis impliqué dans le processus du SMSI depuis le début, en tant que membre fondateur de diverses organisations de la société civile comme YAAKAARE, DAPSI, etc. depuis 2009, je participais à l'équipe de direction ACSIS en tant que vice membre -Président et comme président par intérim d’ACSIS depuis Septembre 2015. Ma motivation pour être membre du Groupe de la Société civile pour CSTD est d'aider à mieux souligner les besoins et les priorités l'Afrique du point de vue de la Société Civile. Je suis titulaire d'un doctorat d’Etat en études de développement et de plusieurs post docs. Je travaille aisément en anglais, français et arabe. Dans le cadre du groupe de travail sur la coopération renforcée et avec le soutien du réseau ACSIS, je voudrais mettre l'accent sur les questions suivantes concernant l'Afrique dans l'élaboration des recommandations. - L'accès à la société du savoir. - Les moyens de financement ICT4D en Afrique (accès, le renforcement des capacités et de sensibilisation) - L'alphabétisation - Multilinguisme et contenus locaux numériques - Renforcement de la participation de la société civile et la participation au niveau continental et international ; peser sur le destin de notre continent dans un groupe acteurs - Les politiques numériques et gouvernance de l'Internet - La cyber-sécurité - etc. Je vous remercie de votre attention.

We hope that geographical balance will be taken into account regarding civil society representation in the working group. In this regard, ACSIS would be very happy to be part of the process. ACSIS is the unique pan African civil society organization, which aims to promote sustainable ICT4 Development for the benefit of African communities at a continental and national level (hundreds of community organizations across Africa and the African Diaspora). ACSIS was launched during the first phase of the WSIS. ACSIS members (community organizations as well as individuals) participate actively in the implementation of an inclusive Information society in Africa. We feel that it is important that we take part in the process that was initiated by CSTD. Relevant questions regarding enhanced cooperation are of importance for Africa were we face many challenges. ACSIS involvement in this working group will help to have better representability of the African continent as important issues will be nurtured ( discussed and validated) through ACSIS Network, after broad consultations. On a personal basis, I have more than 18 years’ experience in ICT development issues, including project and program management in African countries (decentralization, digital education, e-waste management, advocacy, financing ICT for development, international negotiations, and urban services, at UNITAR, the DSF and as Civil Society member. I was involved in the WSIS process since the beginning, as founding member of various civil society organizations like Yaakaare, DAPSI, etc. Since 2009, I was involved in ACSIS management team as vice-Chair and as ACSIS acting chair since September 2015. My motivation to be member of the civil Society Group for CSTD is to help better stressing Africa needs and priorities.
