Milton, Here is an additional comment: Russia for many years (since 2009) wanted to combine the WSIS Forum with the Internet Governance Forum. The argument was a "waste of ressources" and "overlapping of issues". This was rejected again and again (also by the UNCSTD IGF Improvement WFG). Ths WSIS Forum is now under control of ITU with UNGIS in the background. UNGIS has now 30 intergovernmental organisations as members. WSIS Forum 2016 looked very similar to the IGF, but with much more (high level) governmental representation. One scenario of some UN burocrats, who have a special understanding of the multistakeholder approach (governments have the lead and the decision making capacity but "consult" with non-governmental stakeholders, as it was demonstrated with the high level meeting in December 2015) could be to put both the WSIS Forum and the IGF under the umbrella of the preparations for WSIS +20 (2025) with WSIS Forum under control of the ITU and IGF under control of the UNDESA (with UNGIS as a facilitator in the Background) as two complementary Events: The spierng Forum in Geneva and the fall Forum in the world. This would lead to a marginalization of the MAG and a castration of the multistakehooder approach. Let´s see what the July meetings will produce. In any case we have to start to put the issue of "IGF/MAG/UNDESA Accountability" and "IGF Independence" on the agenda for Guadalajara.

We are going through a putsch in Brazil by a powerful right-wing coalition (big media, judiciary including the supreme court, right-wing parties dominating congress) which has already succeeded in suspending the current president (Mrs Rousseff) and is hastily carrying out a fully neoliberal program, running against time (as Rousseff might return in about 2 months) to cancel a large list of government-funded social programs and giving priority to the demands of the private sector -- including a massive privatization of key state companies and the opening of strategic resources of pre-salt oil deposits to foreign companies. It is basically as if Brazil had suddenly signed the TPP while not even being in the Pacific... If neoliberalism is dead, it is elsewhere, not here. fraternal regards --c.a.

This WG will work on designing workshop proposals on behalf of the IGC. For your information, I have received so far great positive responses and I am happy to inform you that the following people have shown interest:1. Sarah Kiden (Africa)2. Mwendwa Kivuva (Africa)3. Deidre Williams (America) I would personally encourage us to have a good representation (region, gender, etc). Please reach out to me if you want to be included to the list. After the 6th of May, we will announce next steps of how this will be carried. Also, please post ideas about topics that you would love the working group to consider.

For that, here are two important calls to consider: 1.      I would like to make a call for volunteers whoare willing to be part of something like an “IGC working group” to help designthe workshop proposals which will be presented to the list for comments. These shouldbe people who (preferably) are very familiar with the IGF, who have organized workshopsin the past and who are planning to attend the IGF in Mexico later this year. Sincethe call is closed on June 6th, I would suggest this group to beformed by May 6th at thelatest. Interested members can contact me offlist to express their interest. 2.      I would like to call list members to suggesttopics that can be considered as workshops on behalf of the IGC. We can startmaking suggestions today so that the WG can consider them when it is formed. My idea is that we can work and submit up to 3 workshopproposals and then hope the MAG to select at least one. These workshops will bean opportunity for IGC members to discuss issues pertaining to the CS in the IGarena and use the time to recruit new members willing to join the IGC. I hope to count on your collaboration (as always). Should youhave any concern, do not hesitate to contact me offlist or to raise it here.

The session will also examine the role and potential impact of Internet Governance, ICTs and Internet on the recently adopted United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda and related goals (SDGs). Also, this will be the opportunity for all of us to look forward to the 2016 IGF in Mexico, and will allow everyone to ask questions and share information about how they can get involved in the IGF intersessional activities.Finally, please note that the session will include a segment which will make reference to the NRIs. In case you will not attend the event in person, we hope that you will be with us by taking active participation online, details here. Visit the IGF exhibition stand For all of you that will be in Geneva during this week, kindly note that the IGF will have an exhibition stand on 3-4 May. Please, come and visit us.

Whatsapp was blocked before by judges in São Paulo and Goiás (states on other regions). Yet, this was the 2nd time the judge from Sergipe issued this national blockage order. This made many Brazilians from other regions turn to social media with insults and harassment towards North/Northeasterns. [4] Among the insults, outrage how a mostly disconnected region can be the cause of a service blocking throughout the country. Some insults are against Northeners and Northeasterns because most who do such crimes do not differentiate these regions. They are both were low HDIs are [3] Brazil is a diverse country and this harrassment is being done by a minority. However, this raises an important issue to be debated in regional engagement in internet governance. Most organizations and activists which raised a flag on Whatsapp blockages mobilizations are not in the Northeast and have not addressed this unfortunate consequence of the origin of the blockage. In the hope that this situation does not escalate, it is important to pay attention to this and to act on seeing internet governance as a debate which should not have frontiers and yet take into account economical and social conditions of regions it affects. There is a session in WSIS this week where this theme will be addressed this friday. https://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/forum/2016/Agenda/Session/138 You can see on the agenda many great events and they will all be recorded.

The intent is for us to have a formal time at the upcoming IGF to discuss and engage with new people interested in our work as a CS group within the IG sphere. So far, we have 4 people (which is s fair good number) and i would like to thank Narine Khachatryan (from Europe) for joining the group. In the next couple of hours, this call will be officially closed and i will be happy to reach out to this group of people for next steps. I you still want to be considered, do not hesitate to reach out to me. Moreover, other list members will be contacted when we will be seeking speakers, endorement/comments on the work that the group will present. More coming later.... Thanks for your collaboration.

This WG will work on designing workshop proposals on behalf of the IGC. For your information, I have received so far great positive responses and I am happy to inform you that the following people have shown interest:1. Sarah Kiden (Africa)2. Mwendwa Kivuva (Africa)3. Deidre Williams (America) I would personally encourage us to have a good representation (region, gender, etc). Please reach out to me if you want to be included to the list. After the 6th of May, we will announce next steps of how this will be carried. Also, please post ideas about topics that you would love the working group to consider. Best regards,Arsene Tungali,IGC Co-coordinator Le Mercredi 27 avril 2016 12h33, Arsene TUNGALI (Yahoo) a écrit : Dear colleagues, In regards to the IGF Call for Workshops Propsals, I would like to bring to your attention that Iam suggesting the IGC to work and submit two to three workshop proposals to bepresented at the upcoming IGF. For that, here are two important calls to consider: 1.      I would like to make a call for volunteers whoare willing to be part of something like an “IGC working group” to help designthe workshop proposals which will be presented to the list for comments. These shouldbe people who (preferably) are very familiar with the IGF, who have organized workshopsin the past and who are planning to attend the IGF in Mexico later this year. Sincethe call is closed on June 6th, I would suggest this group to beformed by May 6th at thelatest. Interested members can contact me offlist to express their interest. 2.      I would like to call list members to suggesttopics that can be considered as workshops on behalf of the IGC. We can startmaking suggestions today so that the WG can consider them when it is formed. My idea is that we can work and submit up to 3 workshopproposals and then hope the MAG to select at least one. These workshops will bean opportunity for IGC members to discuss issues pertaining to the CS in the IGarena and use the time to recruit new members willing to join the IGC. I hope to count on your collaboration (as always). Should youhave any concern, do not hesitate to contact me offlist or to raise it here.

Cooperating community connections: A changing political reality. The Journal of Community InformaticsVol 12, No 1 (2016). http://www.ci-journal.net/index.php/ciej/article/view/1295 Abstract: Community Informatics has declared that the global is a federation of locals. James Quilligan has written an essay to the effect that applying such a definition of global requires a world institution of democratic governance. Some members of the community of community informatics researchers have come to a similar conclusion. This essay outlines an alternative interpretation based on complex adaptive systems theory, and with consequent results for a different definition of the individual, the community and their interdependence. It asks the question – where does the predominance of opinion in community informatics about the changing nature of governance and community reside?

James Quilligan has written an essay to the effect that applying such a definition of global requires a world institution of democratic governance. Some members of the community of community informatics researchers have come to a similar conclusion. This essay outlines an alternative interpretation based on complex adaptive systems theory, and with consequent results for a different definition of the individual, the community and their interdependence. It asks the question – where does the predominance of opinion in community informatics about the changing nature of governance and community reside?

For that, here are two important calls to consider: 1.      I would like to make a call for volunteers whoare willing to be part of something like an “IGC working group” to help designthe workshop proposals which will be presented to the list for comments. These shouldbe people who (preferably) are very familiar with the IGF, who have organized workshopsin the past and who are planning to attend the IGF in Mexico later this year. Sincethe call is closed on June 6th, I would suggest this group to beformed by May 6th at thelatest. Interested members can contact me offlist to express their interest. 2.      I would like to call list members to suggesttopics that can be considered as workshops on behalf of the IGC. We can startmaking suggestions today so that the WG can consider them when it is formed. My idea is that we can work and submit up to 3 workshopproposals and then hope the MAG to select at least one. These workshops will bean opportunity for IGC members to discuss issues pertaining to the CS in the IGarena and use the time to recruit new members willing to join the IGC. I hope to count on your collaboration (as always). Should youhave any concern, do not hesitate to contact me offlist or to raise it here.

Somebody like me would always wonder why a body that makes policies for international trade consists of only governments. Much, if not more, of cross-border trade is done by the private sector whose inputs, I think, are necessary, just like we all argue for multistakeholder approach to Internet policies. One may sensibly argue that our national governments similarly alone make policies that drive most things non-government people and bodies do in our countries. Yes, but how many of those policies actually optimally benefit the stakeholders excluded from the policy process? If WTO consults with non-government stakeholders (for I don't know whether it does), that's OK by me, but the matter of non-transparency raises much concern as it creates the impression that any consultations with non-members might be ending in "agree-on-one-thing-and-do-a-different-thing."

Trade in goods is so 19th century; ok maybe 20th. Yeah yeah I know I am over-simplifying but still. And what a coincidence, the rapid growth in trade in services over past decades mirrors the growth of the global Internet; which is governed by multi-stakeholder processes, more or less. Indeed, the criticism that governments are doing something wrong doing what they have always done - negotiating trade treaties in secret, because duh - is also a call for greater transparency from - civil society and other stakeholders. Right? Anyway, don't take my word for it, instead think about this McKninsey report: http://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/strategy-and-corporate-finance/our-insights/global-flows-in-a-digital-age Global flows opens virtual doors for tiny firms and civil society as well as the bigs. In that context, yeah maybe multi-stakeholdering trade talks might be a good idea compared to the present practices which are not well-loved by Trump-ettes nor critics feeling the Bern, to put it in US political context. Even Hillary is pretending she had no idea what TTP and TTIP were about. We are all shocked! ; ) So if not government to government business as usual, then what? Yeah isolationism worked so well in past. Not.

A Draft Terms of Reference is below – this will be considered by the Working Group. Membership is open to people involved with civil society organisations, and you can join at http://internetgov-cs.org/mailman/listinfo/cscgwg Please note that, as it is intended that the group commence collaborative deliberations as soon as possible and complete its work by end August, you must join by Monday, May 23. If you are able to devote some time to this task in coming months, and can offer some expertise and inputs to assist us, we would like you to work with us on this important task. DRAFT TERMS OF REFERENCE (to be reviewed when working group is established) 1. To examine the current structure, membership and mission of CSCG, and whether this structure is the best way to ensure that civil society representation is representative (including geographically, politically, and in respect of gender balance) 2. To consider in this examination whether a structure capable of receiving and administering funds to assist with civil society representatives attendance and travel should also be established 3. To consider workload and whether it is in civil society’s best interest to rotate nomcom membership rather than continuance of one representative group making all decisions 4. To examine current selection procedures to see whether improvements should be made 5. To report back to civil society networks with any resulting recommendations by August 31 2016 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In my view what we need to create is a global coordination mechanism which is as inclusive and participatory as possible while at the same time retaining/restoring the property that the ultimate decision-making power must be under the control of formal democratic processes.

The goal which I'm pursuing is more complex: While I agree that it is important to make the discourse processes fully transparency and inclusive, and negotiation processes much more transparent than they often are today, I also insist that the decision-making authority must remain (or, where that is not the case now, be put) under the control of formal democratic processes. From the perspective of this more complex goal "democracy *and* inclusive participation", a proposal that is aimed at increasing some aspects of transparency and participation will be seen as a bad idea if it involves undermining, as a side effect, fundamental principles of democracy.

I know that in your world, anything that a business does is bad, Milton: This is not a fact, and unlike many others (and as I'd show later in this email, also you Milton :) ) I let my views be clearly known on any subject that I am queried about - I consider that as my duty as a public interest actor in a public space. So about business, my view is that economic enterprise is to be largely a private (sector) affair. Not only that, I believe that such is the current complexity of our societies, a very good part of such private enterprise would need to be organised in and as large corporates. But like even the father of free market ideology Adam Smith called them the 'masters of the earth', business needs to be kept under careful regulatory watch, bigger a business is, more watch is needed. That is an important political function. > but please tell me this: > > Many people have complained about the WTO and other government-government trade negotiations because they are closed to other stakeholders and not transparent. Now, let me also tell my views on transparency and public engagement with regard to policy making... During the period of last government in India, I/ IT for Change was actively involved in pushing a legislation for compulsory and structured pre-legislative consultations before any law is made in India... The proposal was that before any law is passed, drafts had to be made public, public inputs taken, responses made to key inputs, second draft published and so on. And it had to be a legal requirement..... In fact, this advocacy had reached an advanced stage, and a law looked possible at that stage... In any case, this should be enough to make clear what I/ my organisation thinks about transparency and stakeholder in law making... We have a similar stance for global law making..... Meanwhile, your representation of what is seen as problematic with WTO, and if I may add, other global treaties, is partial.... Most civil society is not just concerned that these are closed to other 'stakeholders' - it is specifically concerned that it is heavily influenced by big business which seems to have special access to key negotiators pushing 'certain agendas' while civil society is kept out... This key distinction - which you merrily ignore - becomes especially important when the issue under discussion is about a new proposed 'business led policy process'. > It appears that Ma is proposing a departure from that. The WeTP would have business, "governments and NGOs and other organisations participating.” Since you are following up on my article and references, I must take it to be deliberate that you excluded from above description of eWTP the clear call by Jack Ma for *business leading the process*, and all others participating.. I dont agree with business 'leading' public policy processes, and all the democracy groups and movements that I know, including in your country, the US, would instinctively pull away from and thoroughly oppose any such suggestion. But since Jack Ma clearly asked for a business led public policy making process, here is your opportunity to tell us, what do you think of a 'business led public policy process' . I am sure the language here is clear to you. And, what specifically do you see as the role of business in "public policy" "decision making" . (I suspect that you wont answer this bec we have been here many times before, and say things like, it is never clear what is technical and what policy, or what is decision making and what is contributing to decisions, and so on, but not answer clearly, but I'd let you surprise me, Milton :)) > Of course, one would have to know more about the terms and conditions of "participation" but I see a potential for movement forward rather than backwards. Please tell us why this is worse than the status quo? Status quo needs improvement in the form of more public participation. As shown above, I am very keen to ensure that, and am part of advocacies to than end... However we do not need greater business influence on public policy processes *than there already is* - much less for business to lead the process as expressly proposed by Jack MA.... If he just wanted to make global policy processes more open and transparent, he could well have said just that . BTW, Milton, I am sure you must have been paying attention to your own country's presidential election campaign - you can clearly see what is the overwhelming public sentiment in the regard of big business influence on your country's politics - that is if the dominant public sentiment matters to you in making up your view about what kind of public policy processes are appropriate. If you and others hear 'more transparency and participation' when someone calls for 'business led policy making', Milton, I must tell you that there is a serious ideological issue here - and you are certainly quite off from the stance of overwhelming global civil society opinion.... It is only in the IG space that some of you have been able to create this pro-business neoliberal thinking environment, which is what, as you have seen, people like me keep resisting... *Meanwhile, pl do not forget to tell me clearly what you think is the role of different social actors, especially business, in public policy making...* And please try to be as clear as possible (though I can bet money that you are unlikely to do any such thing :) ). parminder PS: Let me quote what was supposed to be the second para in the article on Jack Ma's announcement that I wrote, but I removed in the last edit to shorten the piece... "Social roles have historically been divided between public and private sectors, with some in-between zones that have been the subject of much political contest. But at the two ends, it has for some time been generally accepted that the policies, laws and rules of society's working are public functions whereas economic enterprise should largely be private. Neoliberalism is defined as bringing market paradigms to bear on areas that are traditionally in the realm of the social/public sector – from dismantling or weakening industry regulation (in favour of 'self-regulation') to privatising public services like education, health, and livelihood support. In the new era of digital corporations taking over complete social and business sectors ranging from organsing society's knowledge, social networking, and instant media, to travel, hotels, transportation, health, education and agriculture, we are witness to an entirely new levels of neoliberal onslaught as these corporations now begin to write the very rules that govern each of these sectors.

Dear Nick You will note from the news coverage of his announcement that he is *not* at all suggesting a 'new intergovernmental fora', as you put it, instead, he is calling for a 'business led multistakeholder platform' for framing rules for global e-commerce.... He, or ecom business in general, is of course welcome to submit any new ecom rules related proposal to the WTO, or even call for an entirely new intergov body to separately deal with global ecom... But if your key point was that no one is taking him up on the idea, well, still idea is still strongly backed enough for it to be discussed in the public sphere and people give their opinion on it -- also remember Ma is co-chair of the Net Mundial Initiative, in which many people here have enthusiastically participated... They for instance need to tell us what they think of this proposal of business led public policy making, that Ma wants to propose to G 20 later this year... Now, what Jack Ma is calling for is the exact reification of the language of equal footing multistakeholderism, even for public policy decision making, that many people have be touting here - though never clearly telling what and how of it. (Ma only takes it a clear one step forward, from equal footing to business leading it, which, we all know is always the meaning and intention of the so called equal footing MS model)... This is just the right opportunity for multistakeholderist ideologues to clearly tell what they want and support and what not...... They cannot remain silent even now. They should either support Ma's proposal as just the kind of thing they want, or say, no, this is not what they have always asked for, and it is different in this and this manner. parminder > >> On 12 May 2016, at 09:35, parminder wrote: >> >> A recent announcement by Alibaba's founder Jack Ma exposes what the real >> intent, and the problem, with business led multistakeholderism is, >> something a lot of people/ groups have perhaps innocently got into >> supporting....

M From: Hendricks Dewayne Subject: [Dewayne-Net] The inside story of Facebook's biggest setback Date: May 14, 2016 at 8:09:03 AM EDT To: Multiple recipients of Dewayne-Net Reply-To: dewayne-net at warpspeed.com The inside story of Facebook’s biggest setback The social network had a grand plan to connect millions of Indians to the internet. Here’s how it all went wrong By Rahul Bhatia May 12 2016 Until Mark Zuckerberg arrived in a bright orange helicopter in October 2014, Chandauli had never seen a celebrity visitor. One of 44,795 villages in the state of Rajasthan, Chandauli is only three or four hours’ drive from Delhi, but it exists alone and forgotten, tucked away, a kilometre off a quiet highway. Last year, when a local boy used the internet to buy a used motorcycle, astonished villagers called him an online shopping hero. Zuckerberg had come to see an experiment at work. Earlier that year, with its sights set on the forthcoming elections, the government had asked a foundation to help give Chandauli’s mostly Muslim villagers a digital education. And so, with uncommon haste, a small administrative building was turned into a community centre, where locals could learn how to access email and find information online. Soon, almost every household in the village had one person who knew how to use a computer. The digital transformation of Chandauli was an ideal story for Zuckerberg – a little parable for his grand mission for India. He wanted to bring the internet to millions of people who had never used it before. Specifically, he wanted to bring them a version of the internet that had Facebook at its core. After Zuckerberg landed, he was quickly guided by his advisers towards the community centre. He saw wheat fields and power lines, and a classroom with children sitting on a dirt floor. The heat warped the horizon. A crowd trailed behind him, talking excitedly about the man they called “Juckerberg”. But once he stepped inside the centre, the door was closed and latched. Zuckerberg took a seat on a plastic stool, and awkwardly asked the village children about how they used the centre’s computers. His stiff manner, combined with the presence of a reporter from Time magazine, and a Facebook photographer documenting the encounter, added to the sensation that the locals were playing parts in a performance directed by the company. But not everything went according to plan. The electricity had gone out shortly after Zuckerberg arrived, taking with it the wireless network that provided the village’s main connection to the internet. Instead, one of the boys showed Zuckerberg his mobile phone, and tried to bring up his Facebook profile page. This roused the CEO. “He genuinely wanted to know what they did on their phones, and how they spent time on the internet,” said Osama Manzar, the co-founder of the Digital Empowerment Foundation that had set up Chandauli’s digital literacy centre. Under Zuckerberg’s gaze, the boy’s profile page slowly emerged on a 2G connection. “Bandwidth issues,” Zuckerberg said to himself. He assured the children inside, and the villagers outside, that their connectivity problems would be fixed before his next visit. Later that day, Zuckerberg returned to New Delhi, where he posted a picture of himself speaking with a child at the resource centre. “Seeing first-hand how people here are using the internet was an incredible experience,” he wrote. “One day, if we can connect every village, we can transform many more lives and improve the world for all of us. Chandauli is just the start.” >From Zuckerberg’s vantage point, high above the connected world he had helped create, India was a largely blank map. Many of its citizens – hundreds of millions of people – were clueless about the internet’s powers. If only they could see how easily they could form a community, how quickly they could turn into buyers and sellers of anything, how effortlessly they could find anything they needed – and so much more that they didn’t. Zuckerberg was convinced that Facebook could win them over, and even more convinced that this would change their lives for the better. He would bring India’s rural poor online quickly, and in great numbers, with an irresistible proposition: users would pay nothing at all to access a version of the internet curated by Facebook. But where Zuckerberg saw the endless promise of a digital future, Indians came to see something more sinister. Seventeen months later, Facebook’s grand plans to bring India online had been halted by overwhelming local opposition – the biggest stumbling block the company had hit in its 12-year-history. In the end, it seemed, Facebook had acted as if it was giving India a gift. But it was not a gift Indians wanted.

Here’s how it all went wrong By Rahul Bhatia May 12 2016 Until Mark Zuckerberg arrived in a bright orange helicopter in October 2014, Chandauli had never seen a celebrity visitor. One of 44,795 villages in the state of Rajasthan, Chandauli is only three or four hours’ drive from Delhi, but it exists alone and forgotten, tucked away, a kilometre off a quiet highway. Last year, when a local boy used the internet to buy a used motorcycle, astonished villagers called him an online shopping hero. Zuckerberg had come to see an experiment at work. Earlier that year, with its sights set on the forthcoming elections, the government had asked a foundation to help give Chandauli’s mostly Muslim villagers a digital education. And so, with uncommon haste, a small administrative building was turned into a community centre, where locals could learn how to access email and find information online. Soon, almost every household in the village had one person who knew how to use a computer. The digital transformation of Chandauli was an ideal story for Zuckerberg – a little parable for his grand mission for India. He wanted to bring the internet to millions of people who had never used it before. Specifically, he wanted to bring them a version of the internet that had Facebook at its core. After Zuckerberg landed, he was quickly guided by his advisers towards the community centre. He saw wheat fields and power lines, and a classroom with children sitting on a dirt floor. The heat warped the horizon. A crowd trailed behind him, talking excitedly about the man they called “Juckerberg”. But once he stepped inside the centre, the door was closed and latched. Zuckerberg took a seat on a plastic stool, and awkwardly asked the village children about how they used the centre’s computers. His stiff manner, combined with the presence of a reporter from Time magazine, and a Facebook photographer documenting the encounter, added to the sensation that the locals were playing parts in a performance directed by the company. But not everything went according to plan. The electricity had gone out shortly after Zuckerberg arrived, taking with it the wireless network that provided the village’s main connection to the internet. Instead, one of the boys showed Zuckerberg his mobile phone, and tried to bring up his Facebook profile page. This roused the CEO. “He genuinely wanted to know what they did on their phones, and how they spent time on the internet,” said Osama Manzar, the co-founder of the Digital Empowerment Foundation that had set up Chandauli’s digital literacy centre. Under Zuckerberg’s gaze, the boy’s profile page slowly emerged on a 2G connection. “Bandwidth issues,” Zuckerberg said to himself. He assured the children inside, and the villagers outside, that their connectivity problems would be fixed before his next visit. Later that day, Zuckerberg returned to New Delhi, where he posted a picture of himself speaking with a child at the resource centre. “Seeing first-hand how people here are using the internet was an incredible experience,” he wrote. “One day, if we can connect every village, we can transform many more lives and improve the world for all of us. Chandauli is just the start.” >From Zuckerberg’s vantage point, high above the connected world he had helped create, India was a largely blank map. Many of its citizens – hundreds of millions of people – were clueless about the internet’s powers. If only they could see how easily they could form a community, how quickly they could turn into buyers and sellers of anything, how effortlessly they could find anything they needed – and so much more that they didn’t. Zuckerberg was convinced that Facebook could win them over, and even more convinced that this would change their lives for the better. He would bring India’s rural poor online quickly, and in great numbers, with an irresistible proposition: users would pay nothing at all to access a version of the internet curated by Facebook. But where Zuckerberg saw the endless promise of a digital future, Indians came to see something more sinister. Seventeen months later, Facebook’s grand plans to bring India online had been halted by overwhelming local opposition – the biggest stumbling block the company had hit in its 12-year-history. In the end, it seemed, Facebook had acted as if it was giving India a gift. But it was not a gift Indians wanted.

I need it for our friends in Latin America. many greetings, willi Manaus, Brasil Toward a Global Realignment Zbigniew Brzezinski 17.04.2016 www.the-american-interest.com/2016/04/17/toward-a-global-realignment/ As its era of global dominance ends, the United States needs to take the lead in realigning the global power architecture. Five basic verities regarding the emerging redistribution of global political power and the violent political awakening in the Middle East are signaling the coming of a new global realignment. The first of these verities is that the United States is still the world’s politically, economically, and militarily most powerful entity but, given complex geopolitical shifts in regional balances, it is no longer the globally imperial power. But neither is any other major power. The second verity is that Russia is experiencing the latest convulsive phase of its imperial devolution. A painful process, Russia is not fatally precluded – if it acts wisely – from becoming eventually a leading European nation-state. However, currently it is pointlessly alienating some of its former subjects in the Islamic southwest of its once extensive empire, as well as Ukraine, Belarus, and Georgia, not to mention the Baltic States. The third verity is that China is rising steadily, if more slowly as of late, as America’s eventual coequal and likely rival; but for the time being it is careful not to pose an outright challenge to America. Militarily, it seems to be seeking a breakthrough in a new generation of weapons while patiently enhancing its still very limited naval power. The fourth verity is that Europe is not now and is not likely to become a global power. But it can play a constructive role in taking the lead in regard to transnational threats to global wellbeing and even human survival. Additionally, Europe is politically and culturally aligned with and supportive of core U.S. interests in the Middle East, and European steadfastness within NATO is essential to an eventually constructive resolution of the Russia-Ukraine crisis. The fifth verity is that the currently violent political awakening among post-colonial Muslims is, in part, a belated reaction to their occasionally brutal suppression mostly by European powers. It fuses a delayed but deeply felt sense of injustice with a religious motivation that is unifying large numbers of Muslims against the outside world; but at the same time, because of historic sectarian schisms within Islam that have nothing to do with the West, the recent welling up of historical grievances is also divisive within Islam. Taken together as a unified framework, these five verities tell us that the United States must take the lead in realigning the global power architecture in such a way that the violence erupting within and occasionally projected beyond the Muslim world—and in the future possibly from other parts of what used to be called the Third World—can be contained without destroying the global order. We can sketch this new architecture by elaborating briefly each of the five foregoing verities. First, America can only be effective in dealing with the current Middle Eastern violence if it forges a coalition that involves, in varying degrees, also Russia and China. To enable such a coalition to take shape, Russia must first be discouraged from its reliance on the unilateral use of force against its own neighbors—notably Ukraine, Georgia, the Baltic States—and China should be disabused of the idea that selfish passivity in the face of the rising regional crisis in the Middle East will prove to be politically and economically rewarding to its ambitions in the global arena. These shortsighted policy impulses need to be channeled into a more farsighted vision. Second, Russia is becoming for the first time in its history a truly national state, a development that is as momentous as it is generally overlooked. The Czarist Empire, with its multinational but largely politically passive population, came to an end with World War I and the Bolshevik creation of an allegedly voluntary union of national republics (the USSR), with power resting effectively in Russian hands, took its place. The collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991 led to the sudden emergence of a predominantly Russian state as its successor, and to the transformation of the former Soviet Union’s non-Russian “republics” into formally independent states. These states are now consolidating their independence, and both the West and China—in different areas and different ways—are exploiting that new reality to Russia’s disadvantage. In the meantime, Russia’s own future depends on its ability to become a major and influential nation-state that is part of a unifying Europe. Not to do so could have dramatically negative consequences for Russia’s ability to withstand growing territorial-demographic pressure from China, which is increasingly inclined as its power grows to recall the “unequal” treaties Moscow imposed on Beijing in times past. Third, China’s dramatic economic success requires enduring patience and the country’s awareness that political haste will make for social waste. The best political prospect for China in the near future is to become America’s principal partner in containing global chaos of the sort that is spreading outward (including to the northeast) from the Middle East. If it is not contained, it will contaminate Russia’s southern and eastern territories as well as the western portions of China. Closer relations between China and the new republics in Central Asia, the post-British Muslim states in Southwest Asia (notably Pakistan) and especially with Iran (given its strategic assets and economic significance), are the natural targets of Chinese regional geopolitical outreach. But they should also be targets of global Sino-American accommodation. Fourth, tolerable stability will not return to the Middle East as long as local armed military formations can calculate that they can be simultaneously the beneficiaries of a territorial realignment while selectively abetting extreme violence. Their ability to act in a savage manner can only be contained by increasingly effective—but also selective—pressure derived from a base of U.S.-Russian-Chinese cooperation that, in turn, enhances the prospects for the responsible use of force by the region’s more established states (namely, Iran, Turkey, Israel, and Egypt). The latter should also be the recipients of more selective European support. Under normal circumstances, Saudi Arabia would be a significant player on that list, but the current inclination of the Saudi government still to foster Wahhabi fanaticism, even while engaged in ambitious domestic modernization efforts, raises grave doubts regarding Saudi Arabia’s ability to play a regionally significant constructive role. Fifth, special attention should be focused on the non-Western world’s newly politically aroused masses. Long-repressed political memories are fueling in large part the sudden and very explosive awakening energized by Islamic extremists in the Middle East, but what is happening in the Middle East today may be just the beginning of a wider phenomenon to come out of Africa, Asia, and even among the pre-colonial peoples of the Western Hemisphere in the years ahead. Periodic massacres of their not-so-distant ancestors by colonists and associated wealth-seekers largely from western Europe (countries that today are, still tentatively at least, most open to multiethnic cohabitation) resulted within the past two or so centuries in the slaughter of colonized peoples on a scale comparable to Nazi World War II crimes: literally involving hundreds of thousands and even millions of victims. Political self-assertion enhanced by delayed outrage and grief is a powerful force that is now surfacing, thirsting for revenge, not just in the Muslim Middle East but also very likely beyond. Much of the data cannot be precisely established, but taken collectively, they are shocking. Let just a few examples suffice. In the 16th century, due largely to disease brought by Spanish explorers, the population of the native Aztec Empire in present-day Mexico declined from 25 million to approximately one million. Similarly, in North America, an estimated 90 percent of the native population died within the first five years of contact with European settlers, due primarily to diseases. In the 19th century, various wars and forced resettlements killed an additional 100,000. In India from 1857-1867, the British are suspected of killing up to one million civilians in reprisals stemming from the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The British East India Company’s use of Indian agriculture to grow opium then essentially forced on China resulted in the premature deaths of millions, not including the directly inflicted Chinese casualties of the First and Second Opium Wars. In the Congo, which was the personal holding of Belgian King Leopold II, 10-15 million people were killed between 1890 and 1910. In Vietnam, recent estimates suggest that between one and three million civilians were killed from 1955 to 1975. As to the Muslim world in Russia’s Caucasus, from 1864 and 1867, 90 percent of the local Circassian population was forcibly relocated and between 300,000 and 1.5 million either starved to death or were killed. Between 1916 and 1918, tens of thousands of Muslims were killed when 300,000 Turkic Muslims were forced by Russian authorities through the mountains of Central Asia and into China. In Indonesia, between 1835 and 1840, the Dutch occupiers killed an estimated 300,000 civilians. In Algeria, following a 15-year civil war from 1830-1845, French brutality, famine, and disease killed 1.5 million Algerians, nearly half the population. In neighboring Libya, the Italians forced Cyrenaicans into concentration camps, where an estimated 80,000 to 500,000 died between 1927 and 1934. More recently, in Afghanistan between 1979 and 1989 the Soviet Union is estimated to have killed around one million civilians; two decades later, the United States has killed 26,000 civilians during its 15-year war in Afghanistan. In Iraq, 165,000 civilians have been killed by the United States and its allies in the past 13 years. (The disparity between the reported number of deaths inflicted by European colonizers compared with the United States and its allies in Iraq and Afghanistan may be due in part to the technological advances that have resulted in the more productive use of force and in part as well to a shift in the world’s normative climate.) Just as shocking as the scale of these atrocities is how quickly the West forgot about them. In today’s postcolonial world, a new historical narrative is emerging. A profound resentment against the West and its colonial legacy in Muslim countries and beyond is being used to justify their sense of deprivation and denial of self-dignity. A stark example of the experience and attitudes of colonial peoples is well summarized by the Senegalese poet David Diop in “Vultures”: In those days, When civilization kicked us in the face The vultures built in the shadow of their talons The blood stained monument of tutelage… Given all this, a long and painful road toward an initially limited regional accommodation is the only viable option for the United States, Russia, China, and the pertinent Middle Eastern entities. For the United States, that will require patient persistence in forging cooperative relationships with some new partners (particularly Russia and China) as well as joint efforts with more established and historically rooted Muslim states (Turkey, Iran, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia if it can detach its foreign policy from Wahhabi extremism) in shaping a wider framework of regional stability. Our European allies, previously dominant in the region, can still be helpful in that regard. A comprehensive U.S. pullout from the Muslim world favored by domestic isolationists, could give rise to new wars (for example, Israel vs. Iran, Saudi Arabia vs. Iran, a major Egyptian intervention in Libya) and would generate an even deeper crisis of confidence in America’s globally stabilizing role. In different but dramatically unpredictable ways, Russia and China could be the geopolitical beneficiaries of such a development even as global order itself becomes the more immediate geopolitical casualty. Last but not least, in such circumstances a divided and fearful Europe would see its current member states searching for patrons and competing with one another in alternative but separate arrangements among the more powerful trio. A constructive U.S. policy must be patiently guided by a long-range vision. It must seek outcomes that promote the gradual realization in Russia (probably post-Putin) that its only place as an influential world power is ultimately within Europe. China’s increasing role in the Middle East should reflect the reciprocal American and Chinese realization that a growing U.S.-PRC partnership in coping with the Middle Eastern crisis is an historically significant test of their ability to shape and enhance together wider global stability. The alternative to a constructive vision, and especially the quest for a one-sided militarily and ideologically imposed outcome, can only result in prolonged and self-destructive futility. For America, that could entail enduring conflict, fatigue, and conceivably even a demoralizing withdrawal to its pre-20th century isolationism. For Russia, it could mean major defeat, increasing the likelihood of subordination in some fashion to Chinese predominance. For China, it could portend war not only with the United States but also, perhaps separately, with either Japan or India or with both. And, in any case, a prolonged phase of sustained ethnic, quasi-religious wars pursued through the Middle East with self-righteous fanaticism would generate escalating bloodshed within and outside the region, and growing cruelty everywhere. The fact is that there has never been a truly “dominant” global power until the emergence of America on the world scene. Imperial Great Britain came close to becoming one, but World War I and later World War II not only bankrupted it but also prompted the emergence of rival regional powers. The decisive new global reality was the appearance on the world scene of America as simultaneously the richest and militarily the most powerful player. During the latter part of the 20th century no other power even came close. That era is now ending. While no state is likely in the near future to match America’s economic-financial superiority, new weapons systems could suddenly endow some countries with the means to commit suicide in a joint tit-for-tat embrace with the United States, or even to prevail. Without going into speculative detail, the sudden acquisition by some state of the capacity to render America militarily inferior would spell the end of America’s global role. The result would most probably be global chaos. And that is why it behooves the United States to fashion a policy in which at least one of the two potentially threatening states becomes a partner in the quest for regional and then wider global stability, and thus in containing the least predictable but potentially the most likely rival to overreach. Currently, the more likely to overreach is Russia, but in the longer run it could be China. Since the next twenty years may well be the last phase of the more traditional and familiar political alignments with which we have grown comfortable, the response needs to be shaped now. During the rest of this century, humanity will also have to be increasingly preoccupied with survival as such on account of a confluence of environmental challenges. Those challenges can only be addressed responsibly and effectively in a setting of increased international accommodation. And that accommodation has to be based on a strategic vision that recognizes the urgent need for a new geopolitical framework. *The author acknowledges the helpful contribution of his research assistant Paul Wasserman, and the scholarship on the subject of colonial brutality by Adam Hochschild, Richard Pierce, William Polk, and the Watson Institute at Brown University, among others.

Details can be found at http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf-retreat The IGF nomination procedures can be found from the link above and interested civil society people should apply. Travel assistance *may* be available for participants from developing countries and transitional economies but cannot be guaranteed at this stage. CSCG is still discussing whether it wishes to become involved in a parallel process of recommending civil society candidates. Our involvement is welcomed by the IGF Secretariat, but we are concerned about the lack of transparency and rushed nature of any involvement (which would also need to be completed by May 31 on current indications, in parallel with nominations still being received). We will advise further (within 48 hours) on procedures that should be followed for those seeking CSCG endorsement if a decision is made to be involved. Apologies for incredibly short notice: this was only announced on Thursday May 19 and we have been seeking clarification on how this will be conducted.

CSCG may not make its decision on whether to participate in the rushed and partial selection processes until late Monday Geneva time.

Even for Anglophones this type of "click on the link" malware can be successful and damaging, especially if the name of the apparent sender is a familiar one, and the recipient of the message is going though mail in a hurry. Therefore my habit is to send a warning as soon as I notice such a message. I know this can be irritating for those who have noticed and avoided the trap for themselves, but we surely have some sort of group responsibility to each other? Second - instead of admonishing Arsene for his Yahoo account should we not ask ourselves WHY Google puts Yahoo messages in a spam folder? Is the intention perhaps to create peer pressure (as has happened here) to make the Yahoo user switch to a Gmail account? I also find Arsene's messages in Spam, and regularly tell Google that these messages are NOT Spam. Google doesn't seem to be listening. Rather than blaming Arsene, perhaps we should try to find a way to MAKE Google listen? Otherwise the response from IGC members might well be to abandon Google until it changes its ways?

No. Google is handling the messages precisely in the way in which according to Yahoo they should be handled. It is Yahoo that should be blamed for using such DMARC settings for domains which host customer email addresses -- where there is no justification for assuming that people would never use such email addresses for subscribing to mailing lists. > Rather than blaming Arsene, perhaps we > should try to find a way to MAKE Google listen?

Trying to make Yahoo listen (which many people have tried already, unsuccessfully), and avoiding Yahoo until it changes its ways, would be a more reasonable response. As things are, Yahoo email addresses are currently not suitable for subscribing to mailing lists which conform to the relevant standards for how mailing lists should work. That said, some mailing lists use mitigation measures (implemented as an optional feature for example in recent versions of GNU Mailman) which change the From: header for postings from domains that have such DMARC settings. Such From: header munging is a violation of the relevant standards for how mailing lists should work, but it is an effective work-around.

We will use the best possible selection method we can in the circumstances of not enough time for a proper evaluation. Although this is not a satisfactory situation from our point of view, in the spirit of co-operating towards the introduction of better IGF processes for multistakeholder representation in the future, we will proceed as best we can and inform the IGF Secretariat of our intentions. What this means for civil society candidates seeking CSCG endorsement is that, in addition to completing the IGF form, you must also send an email to nomcom08 at internetgov-cs.org, informing CSCG of your nomination and a brief statement outlining why you are a suitable civil society representative for this planning retreat. However, please note – THE SUBMISSIONS TO CSCG MUST REACH THE MAILING ADDRESS ABOVE NO LATER THAN COB THIS FRIDAY (MAY 27) - to allow us to also submit our recommendations by the IGF closing date of May 31. So briefly – to seek CSCG endorsement for attendance at this workshop, you must submit an email to us at nomcom08 at internetgov-cs.org no later than COB on Friday, May 27. (and you must also apply via the IGF process outlined at http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf-retreat) CSCG will make its recommendations taking into account the contribution nominees can make, as well as gender, geographic and political diversity. If more information comes to hand, we will inform CS lists as soon as possible. But we do believe it is important to select a diverse and representative group of civil society attendees for this retreat, and will do the best possible in the limited time available to achieve this. Ian Peter From: Ian Peter Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2016 8:51 AM To: governance at lists.igcaucus.org Subject: [governance] IGF Planning Retreat The IGF has opened a call for nominations to attend a Planning Retreat from July 14-16 at Glen Cove, New York. Details can be found at http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf-retreat The IGF nomination procedures can be found from the link above and interested civil society people should apply. Travel assistance *may* be available for participants from developing countries and transitional economies but cannot be guaranteed at this stage. CSCG is still discussing whether it wishes to become involved in a parallel process of recommending civil society candidates. Our involvement is welcomed by the IGF Secretariat, but we are concerned about the lack of transparency and rushed nature of any involvement (which would also need to be completed by May 31 on current indications, in parallel with nominations still being received). We will advise further (within 48 hours) on procedures that should be followed for those seeking CSCG endorsement if a decision is made to be involved. Apologies for incredibly short notice: this was only announced on Thursday May 19 and we have been seeking clarification on how this will be conducted.

One of the reasons of my email is my constant attempts is to direct spam filters to the right direction. As a matter of fact, Arsene, your sent emails fall constantly in the spam folder and I always notify Gmail that your emails are "not spam". By following "email technical etiquette" we are working on ensuring optimal email delivery for the whole community.

Witnesses will testify on advantages and disadvantages of the proposed transition of IANA functions to the global multistakeholder community.

But it is more or less the same for both I would say. 1) The project is intended to support emerging national processes. That does not meant that 'consolidation' is not also part of it, but we prioritised countries that do not already have well-established national IGF processes. 2) We had to choose countries which qualify from the perspective of German development cooperation as the funding is from them. Note also that there is no funding for national activity at all. The support is limited to capacity building and travel to the global IGF for the 'fellows'. Also note that by 'fellows' we definitely include people that have experience and people of all ages qualify. As for the future.. I really don't know. All I know is that we will learn from this process and if the opportunity arises - as in another suitable call for proposals from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development - we will build on/continue the initiative. I am copying Lorena Jaume-Palasi from iRights in case she wants to add more. Thanks for the interest everyone.

India does not have a National IGF yet, but hosted the global IGF, is active in its participation in ISOC and ICANN, and is the host for the November ICANN meeting. I do agree that as a Nation, we are relatively on the path of progress. The rationale for limiting this fellowship to the countries already listed is understandable, though I can not possibly speak for India. Thank you.

A strategic dialogue will be held among experts, policymakers and practitioners in enriching IGF as the global forum for facilitating multistakeholder policy discussion and exchange on public policy issues related to key elements of Internet governance, in order to foster the sustainability, robustness, security, stability and development of the Internet (in line with its mandate as established by the Tunis Agenda para 72). As part of the discussion, we will welcome inputs on how the IGF discussions can contribute to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development[2]. Expected outcomes of the retreat include (but are not limited to): (i) ways to improve the overall preparatory process of the IGF, the structure and nomination process for the Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG), and ways to strengthen the IGF Secretariat; (ii) measures to engage those stakeholders who are currently unengaged, with a view to expand and diversify physical and virtual participation; (iii) finding ways to better capture the outputs of the IGF and increasing their visibility and impact; (iv) ideas to support the work of national and regional IGF initiatives, and leverage the synergies between them as well as synergies with the IGF; and (v) modalities to ensure sustained funding to support the IGF and the IGF Secretariat.." I am convinced it is the right moment to think about a long term strategy and development of the IGF, now that there is planning security for 10 years and very much welcome this initiative. I just wonder why the call is limited to ".5 participants from each of the 4 IGF Stakeholder communities." Are national / regional coordinators not expected to participate, although we can expect a great source of expertise here? SPEAKING FOR MYSELF: As the coordinator of the EuroDIG I would not assign myself to any of these groups for the simple reason of neutrality towards all these groups, when offering a platform for discussion and balancing all interests equally. So although I would like to contribute to this important process I would have no chance to get nominated. Am I the only one in this situation? SPEAKING IN GENERAL: I know that the composition of coordinating teams is different in each county / region. Often there is indeed a committee composed of representatives drawn from these 4 stakeholder groups, but often these groups are not so balanced for various reasons (for instance because one stakeholder group is in the lead and has the ability, while others in the region don't). I believe being in the role of a coordinator desires a certain degree of neutrality towards all stakeholder groups, which puts IG(F) coordinators naturally in a special position, even if they belong to one of the 4 groups. This would IMO desire an additional category for such a call. I would be interested in other views. Best Sandra Point of order: Although I am very much interested in this process, I would hardly be in the position to attend in NY, because the EuroSSIG is starting on 16 July. So I am not posting this to get a seat in this retreat. _______________________________________________________________ Logo_EuroDIG_email S a n d r a H o f e r i c h t e r Secretary General European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG) sandra at eurodig.org www.eurodig.org Fon: +49.341.301 28 27 Mobile: +49.163.380 87 85 This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

I encourage more initiatives like these and in the future to include other countries whose actors need such capacity building programs and support to attend the IGF. I salute and commend comments from our community members seeking more clarification and thanks Anriette for making things clear. This is the spirit, let's keep it up.

But it is more or less the same for both I would say. 1) The project is intended to support emerging national processes. That does not meant that 'consolidation' is not also part of it, but we prioritised countries that do not already have well-established national IGF processes. 2) We had to choose countries which qualify from the perspective of German development cooperation as the funding is from them. Note also that there is no funding for national activity at all. The support is limited to capacity building and travel to the global IGF for the 'fellows'. Also note that by 'fellows' we definitely include people that have experience and people of all ages qualify. As for the future.. I really don't know. All I know is that we will learn from this process and if the opportunity arises - as in another suitable call for proposals from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development - we will build on/continue the initiative. I am copying Lorena Jaume-Palasi from iRights in case she wants to add more. Thanks for the interest everyone.

Not only for this particular IGF Retreat but even for future calls of this sort (MAG selection, etc) I think this question needs to be discussed and i would encourage our members to step in and discuss. Regards,A ---------------------Arsene Tungali,IGC Co-coordinator at arsenebaguma+243 993810967 (DRCongo)Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone (excuse typos and brievity) On Tuesday, May 24, 2016, 10:47 PM, sandra hoferichter wrote: I found this announcement today: [cut/paste from http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf-retreat ] “…a two-day working retreat is proposed by UN Secretariat as part of the process of continual improvement of the IGF. A strategic dialogue will be held among experts, policymakers and practitioners in enriching IGF as the global forum for facilitating multistakeholder policy discussion and exchange on public policy issues related to key elements of Internet governance, in order to foster the sustainability, robustness, security, stability and development of the Internet (in line with its mandate as established by the Tunis Agenda para 72).  As part of the discussion, we will welcome inputs on how the IGF discussions can contribute to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development[2]. Expected outcomes of the retreat include (but are not limited to): (i) ways to improve the overall preparatory process of the IGF, the structure and nomination process for the Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG), and ways to strengthen the IGF Secretariat; (ii) measures to engage those stakeholders who are currently unengaged, with a view to expand and diversify physical and virtual participation; (iii) finding ways to better capture the outputs of the IGF and increasing their visibility and impact; (iv) ideas to support the work of national and regional IGF initiatives, and leverage the synergies between them as well as synergies with the IGF; and (v) modalities to ensure sustained funding to support the IGF and the IGF Secretariat….”   I am convinced it is the right moment to think about a long term strategy and development of the IGF, now that there is planning security for 10 years and very much welcome this initiative. I just wonder why the call is limited to “…5 participants from each of the 4 IGF Stakeholder communities.”  Are national / regional coordinators not expected to participate, although we can expect a great source of expertise here?   SPEAKING FOR MYSELF: As the coordinator of the EuroDIG I would not assign myself to any of these groups for the simple reason of neutrality towards all these groups, when offering a platform for discussion and balancing all interests equally. So although I would like to contribute to this important process I would have no chance to get nominated. Am I the only one in this situation?   SPEAKING IN GENERAL: I know that the composition of coordinating teams is different in each county / region. Often there is indeed a committee composed of representatives drawn from these 4 stakeholder groups, but often these groups are not so balanced for various reasons (for instance because one stakeholder group is in the lead and has the ability, while others in the region don’t). I believe being in the role of a coordinator desires a certain degree of neutrality towards all stakeholder groups, which puts IG(F) coordinators naturally in a special position, even if they belong to one of the 4 groups. This would IMO desire an additional category for such a call.   I would be interested in other views.   Best Sandra   Point of order: Although I am very much interested in this process, I would hardly be in the position to attend in NY, because the EuroSSIG is starting on 16 July. So I am not posting this to get a seat in this retreat.   _______________________________________________________________     S a n d r a   H o f e r i c h t e r Secretary General   European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG)   sandra at eurodig.org www.eurodig.org   Fon: +49.341.301 28 27 Mobile: +49.163.380 87 85   This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

It is not in keeping with the stated spirit of the IGF to hold such a sudden meeting, with unclear motivations and purpose, and methodology... Also, it is left vague if CS can self select their reps for this meeting. But before that; what exactly is the purpose, and other things highlighted by Bill - like what would be the status of the outcomes. And why written inputs were not invited - which of course would first require to build an agenda, and a questionnaire based on it. How closely was MAG involved in planning this? Did CS reps ask for better participation in this meeting. If so, what was the response? At least on the complete right to self select nominees, which is a part of IGF's mandate from the UN now after UN GA's adoption of the report of the WG on IGF improvement - we need to clearly put our foot down.... I think it is time that CS learns to assert its legitimate soft power, rather than as always meekly do the 'we have no option' 'better to engage than notengage' act. Try saying for once, this is out bottom-line and if we do not get it we do not participate. You go ahead. Youd see what gains it brings to the CS's soft power in this area. However the routine has been for the CS leadership to make some protest noises but then simply submit to whatever is offered. Lets for once stand out ground. Write a strong letter, and if we do not get a satisfactory response, refuse to go along. UNDESA/ IGF cannot keep contravening what are now the established rules of conduct for the IGF... I understand that CSCG also wrote recently to the IGF sect. to explain how a part of selection process of CS nomination for MAG was not transparent, which violates the rules under which the IGF works, and I dont think we ever got a reply. Instead, we now see a repeat of the process. .. parminder On Tuesday 24 May 2016 02:37 PM, William Drake wrote: > Hi > > Yes thanks Renata, let’s see what’s in the forthcoming FAQ.

Please help me undertand. Sorry, my mailer dumped Ian’s message into the archive rather than my IGC folder so I’d not seen it when I replied. That said, I really wish the CSCG had not decided to do this. I would rather see CS, and indeed all stakeholders, tell DESA that we will not participate in a closed meeting, period. Which is what it turns out this will likely be: "Due to on-site logistics, online/remote participation may not be available for the retreat; however, outcome documents of the retreat will be shared for further comment/consultation." http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf-retreat-faqs I think for DESA to unilaterally organize such a meeting on a closed basis is a total violation of the principles of openness and inclusion that the “IGF community,” such as it is, has worked for ten years to bake into this process. And bear in mind, this is not an isolated incident. An uncomfortable amount of the real decision making about the IGF takes place off stage and hence off the radars of stakeholders. It seems that as long as people get to go once a year and do a workshop everyone’s fine with this, but I remember a time when we actually cared about how the IGF is run, having been the most vocal proponents of its creation. There is no reason on earth that an elite group of people selected by DESA needs to meet in the lovely leafy beach town of Glen Cove, Long Island in a place with no online facilities. In mid-July a conference room at the main UN can surely be found. If this somehow is not possible, a nearby hotel could probably provide a wired room for less than the price of Glen Cove. Ok, this wouldn't be a swank, so people who managed to get their plane tickets paid for wouldn't feel as much like an inner circle entrusted to chart the direction of the IGF’s evolution, but boo hoo. This is not a meeting to negotiate a nuclear arms treaty. It’s a meeting to talk about the IGF. If it is not transparent and open to participation then to me it has zero legitimacy, and civil society should not be undermining what is has worked for by participating. So I am in complete agreement with Parminder: > On May 25, 2016, at 06:06, parminder wrote: > > However the routine has been for the CS leadership to make some protest noises but then simply submit to whatever is offered.

And I do personally believe we, as CS through the CSCG, can still withdraw from this process and draft a statement to be sent to DESA. I feel this is THE time when we need to make such a statement to state our point (to avoid what you quoted from Parminder's point). This is a personal opinion, not an IGC one.

Access, Openess and Transparency are key elements of any multistakeholder process. But this case raises also the question of accountability. Who is in charge for the whole IGF? In my understanding it is the MAG which represents the various stakeholder groups. But to whom is the MAG accountable? To the governments of the UN member states? Or to the various IGF communities, loosely organized in the stakeholder groups which facilitate the nominations? Probably the planned UNDESA meeting could kick-start a process on a MAG transition away from UN stewardship to a independent and self-sustainable bottum up and community driven process where governments are involved as an important stakeholder but have to "share" decisions making with other stakeholders. The WSIS +10 Outcome document has reiterated the WGIG/WSIS Definition on Internet Governance which includes the concept of "sharing". Probably we move now towards a "moment of truth". I fully support Bill´s idea to write a letter to UNDESA which would refer to all the basic principles and procedures for a bottom up multistakeholder process. What we need in the IGF world now is an "empowered community".

But In coming to a decision to participate under protest in this exercise, CSCG looked carefully at other reactions to this. There is nothing I can see in the MAG discussions that suggests that MAG members are considering a wholesale withdrawal; and there is nothing yet to suggest any other stakeholder group will not participate in the proposed retreat and nomination of representatives– although just about everyone is unhappy with the way this has been planned and announced. At this point of time, it would appear that the planning retreat is going ahead; that may change, and if that is the case, well and good. But at this point of time it appears to be going ahead, and we have the choice to either suggest the best possible civil society reps or leave that to UNDESA. That was the call CSCG had to make. It is not appropriate for CSCG, which has a strict mandate to simply deal with ensuring the best possible civil society representation to outside bodies, to take on itself a decision to lead opposition to a particular event. Here we can only follow the decisions made by broader civil society groups, not lead some sort of opposition. That’s the way I read our limited mandate, anyway. So let me ask the question – are people suggesting a complete boycott of this event by civil society? I see strong support for a letter of protest, but as yet I don’t see widespread support for boycotting the event. Please indicate clearly if you think a boycott is appropriate. So yes I agree with the letter of protest – and would urge someone to draft such a letter. If the CSCG member groups all agree to sign, CSCG could be a signatory to such a letter. But a boycott goes a lot further. Would the whole civil society MAG group then not choose any representative (they are a more diverse group that this list it seems) Would no civil society people apply to attend? Unlikely I think. Should CSCG, given the opportunity (for the first time) by UNDESA to choose 2 of the civil society reps, as well as recommendations for other vacancies, say no, civil society is not interested in this workshop at all?

At some time or the other we will have to say this. You know that for MAG selection also we asked how a non transparent process was followed, against the IGF WG's recs, and as far as I know we did not get a response. A meeting about IGF has to follow similar, if not more participative rules, and this selection process should be (1) self managed by CS and (2) transparent, both required as per existing rules.... So CS should self select all, and not just 2, of the CS participants (now, if they say there is another CS selection process other than CSCG that they also want to admit, let them name that process - that would be transparency - lets see if there is another process bec I havent heard of one. It should not be just a CS org recommending itself bec that can hardly be called as a CS self managed process... If they agree, or otherwise reply satisfactorily, we can go ahead, otherwise no. I agree that it may not be for CSCG to get into issues other than CS rep selection, and therefore if a larger protest letter involving other issues as well has to be written it can be initiated by one of the CS groups..... parminder On Wednesday 25 May 2016 03:57 PM, Ian Peter wrote: > Bill, Parminder, others, > > Yes I also agree with the criticisms. > > But In coming to a decision to participate under protest in this > exercise, CSCG looked carefully at other reactions to this. > > There is nothing I can see in the MAG discussions that suggests that > MAG members are considering a wholesale withdrawal; and there is > nothing yet to suggest any other stakeholder group will not > participate in the proposed retreat and nomination of representatives– > although just about everyone is unhappy with the way this has been > planned and announced. > > At this point of time, it would appear that the planning retreat is > going ahead; that may change, and if that is the case, well and good. > But at this point of time it appears to be going ahead, and we have > the choice to either suggest the best possible civil society reps or > leave that to UNDESA. > > That was the call CSCG had to make. > > It is not appropriate for CSCG, which has a strict mandate to simply > deal with ensuring the best possible civil society representation to > outside bodies, to take on itself a decision to lead opposition to a > particular event.

Conversely, it also shouldn’t take on itself a decision to lend support to a particular event. Hence discussion should happen before a decision is taken either way and announced. There are going to be people who want to go, so a real boycott cannot be enforced in any event. But if enough people think as Parminder and I do about this, the CSCG could at least tell DESA it declines to nominate for the following reasons, or say we’ll only do so if the meeting will have remote participation, whether from Glen Cove or somewhere less swanky. If instead most people disagree or don’t care, then ok fine, the universe will not implode.

It has been made clear to us that this is not MAG business but DESA doing its job.

I fully agree with the views by Bill and Parminder. BUT this closed "retreat" is really a bad thing to happen. It is really going backward to close the door. At previous MAG meetings after Open Consultation meetings in Geneva, CS always tried to open the door, and after a few failed tries, they agreed to make it as an open meeting where any people who want to join could sit in the room, take the floor. At WG on IGF improvement, similar thing happened, if not fully implemented. Boycott may not sound constructive. But, I see good reason to push this. Sending CS reps, fine. BUT they should try to open the door first and foremost. Do that inside the room, open the door from inside. Otherwise, don't participate. izumi 2016-05-25 20:19 GMT+09:00 William Drake : > Hi Ian > > I agree with you that CSCG has a narrow mandate and shouldn’t take on > itself a decision to lead opposition to a particular event.

The processes are often complex and full challenges. In the case of the DRC, we tried several cases since 2007: 1. In 2007, civil society was able to organize activities of IGF which universities, government, civil society participated except private sector. No explanation was given why private sector has not answered this invitation; 2.Since 2008 we tried with UNDP has asked the approval of Ministry in charge of ICT. The repetitive change within government allowed us to go through our process. In meantime, we have also requested ISOC DRC. Unfortunately, the leaders of ISOC DRC let us hear the national IGF does not fit in their concern. This has availed until 2014; 3.In 2013, despite all difficulties, we were able to organize 3rd edition of IGF Central Africa; 4.In 2014, with Declaration of African Ministers in charge of ICTs in Khartoum in 2012, we resumed efforts to implement the National IGF and also join the private sector concerns; 5.In 2015,we were fortunate to have savvy and knowledgeable speakers on WSIS and who understand the need to implement the national IGF. With good listening and attention of the Minister in Charge of ICT, we now have an autonomous and independent national IGF which now has cosentement of all stakeholders: government, private sector, universities, technical community resource centers and research libraries, some international organizations such as the representation of the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie in Kinshasa. So the renewal of the IGF mandate of 10 years responds to some concerns about the implementation of the 2030 agenda of sustainable development correlates with the expected Results by identifying players with respect to each of this agenda . So,I agree with you because the structural organization of the IGF at national and regional level depends on the circumstances of each country, in each region. 2016-05-24 20:32 GMT+01:00 sandra hoferichter : > I found this announcement today: > > [cut/paste from http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf-retreat ] > > “…*a two-day working retreat is proposed by UN Secretariat as part of the > process of continual improvement of the IGF.

From: Ian Peter Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2016 6:54 AM To: Ian Peter ; governance at lists.igcaucus.org Subject: UPDATE Re: [governance] IGF Planning Retreat Following from the announcement a few days ago of the IGF Planning Retreat, CSCG has decided that, while being deeply concerned about the way this exercise has been announced and the almost impossible timeframes being suggested for us to endorse suitable civil society candidates, it will endorse suitable civil society names by the May 31 deadline given to us. We will use the best possible selection method we can in the circumstances of not enough time for a proper evaluation. Although this is not a satisfactory situation from our point of view, in the spirit of co-operating towards the introduction of better IGF processes for multistakeholder representation in the future, we will proceed as best we can and inform the IGF Secretariat of our intentions. What this means for civil society candidates seeking CSCG endorsement is that, in addition to completing the IGF form, you must also send an email to nomcom08 at internetgov-cs.org, informing CSCG of your nomination and a brief statement outlining why you are a suitable civil society representative for this planning retreat. However, please note – THE SUBMISSIONS TO CSCG MUST REACH THE MAILING ADDRESS ABOVE NO LATER THAN COB THIS FRIDAY (MAY 27) - to allow us to also submit our recommendations by the IGF closing date of May 31. So briefly – to seek CSCG endorsement for attendance at this workshop, you must submit an email to us at nomcom08 at internetgov-cs.org no later than COB on Friday, May 27. (and you must also apply via the IGF process outlined at http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf-retreat) CSCG will make its recommendations taking into account the contribution nominees can make, as well as gender, geographic and political diversity. If more information comes to hand, we will inform CS lists as soon as possible. But we do believe it is important to select a diverse and representative group of civil society attendees for this retreat, and will do the best possible in the limited time available to achieve this. Ian Peter From: Ian Peter Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2016 8:51 AM To: governance at lists.igcaucus.org Subject: [governance] IGF Planning Retreat The IGF has opened a call for nominations to attend a Planning Retreat from July 14-16 at Glen Cove, New York. Details can be found at http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf-retreat The IGF nomination procedures can be found from the link above and interested civil society people should apply. Travel assistance *may* be available for participants from developing countries and transitional economies but cannot be guaranteed at this stage. CSCG is still discussing whether it wishes to become involved in a parallel process of recommending civil society candidates. Our involvement is welcomed by the IGF Secretariat, but we are concerned about the lack of transparency and rushed nature of any involvement (which would also need to be completed by May 31 on current indications, in parallel with nominations still being received). We will advise further (within 48 hours) on procedures that should be followed for those seeking CSCG endorsement if a decision is made to be involved. Apologies for incredibly short notice: this was only announced on Thursday May 19 and we have been seeking clarification on how this will be conducted.

Otherwise, don't > participate. Just a quick note on CSCG procedures: So far none of the CSCG member networks/coalitions have announced that for reasons of the various concerns have been raised about the proposed IGF planning retreat, they wish that no CSCG selection process should be held. If this situation changes, that could potentially lead to no CSCG selection / endorsement process taking place. For details see point 2 in http://internetgov-cs.org/procedures . There is so far nothing explicit in the CSCG procedures about dealing with other modes of boycott or threats thereof. For example, if it is desired that under certain circumstances (about which we don't yet know whether they will come to pass) the selected CS reps should refuse to participate, that IMO should if possible be clearly agreed with the candidates before they get nominated. The first step to any such stance would IMO be for e.g. IGC to take a clear stance on what they would like CSCG's stance to be in that regard.

Paragraph 4 of CSCG Procedures for Civil Society Appointments says: " 2. CSCG will not be involved in any appointments of CS representatives if more than 35% of its coalition members determine not to be involved in the process, or where the number with a clear determination to be involved does not exceed those expressing a wish not to be involved. (Others may have a neutral or undecided stance) Where coalition members choose not to be involved and a decision to proceed is made, their decision to do so will be announced (if they so wish) as part of any announcement of chosen representatives. The decision to be involved or not is the primary responsibility of each constituency." (http://internetgov-cs.org/ procedures) To save precious time and energy, I think it's necessary to call for votes right here for and against responding to the present request for CS reps. 35% of 5 (if "coalition members" means the coalitions that make up CSCG at present) is 1.75. So we need objection from only 2 coalition members plus one neutral member (or 3 against?) to quit the process. Enough of much grammar on this. That's my view.

A good number of our members have openly expressed their desire, suggesting CS groups not to participate in this process given a lot of irregularities that this call bears in itself (timing, venue, transparency, openess, inclusion, nature of the retreat, etc). I would like to start a discussion within IGC to have your feelings if we should (as one of the 5 members of the CSCG) withdraw from the process and ask the CSCG not to nominate CS representatives or not. As per the CSCG rules and procedures, if more than 2 (out of 5 members) is against a process, this should stop. Please do share your thoughts on this and explain your stand. I am not sure how we will come up with a consensus but atleast this discussion can help us for future similar situations and help us make an informed decision. Should you feel we don't need to discuss this question, please disregard this email, or if you want to clarify some aspects of this email, you are more than welcome. As the IGC Co-coordinator, i felt it is important to start such discussion. Note that the nomination period which was extended is closing in few days.

Yes, that reference to "coalition members" refers to the (currently five) networks that are members of CSCG, one of which is IGC. While I'm at this stage not able to promise anything beyond "we would consider it", I think it very likely that if IGC were to take a reasonable and strong position that this "IGF Planning Retreat" should be boycotted unless some specific reasonable conditions are met, that then JNC would be willing to support that position. In addition I think it very likely that then at least one further CSCG member would at least be neutral in relation to that position.

We need neither their statement nor a soothsayer to know this. They many a time appointed some CS reps directly. IMO, some people among the process holders would want CSCG out of the way and we may not need to give them the chance to satisfy that want. So, I think we should march on no matter the odds. Maybe what we need is an adaptive feature (strategy) to not only survive but also make the best out of the inevitable evil.

Know*ing. the future of the internet and how to reboot it.   We are pleased to announce that  pre-event  programme is now online at http://eurodigwiki.org/wiki/Knowing._The_future_of_the_Internet_and_how_to_reboot_it   Ten years after the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), we are reaching a new cycle of Internet development. Big data crunching and tech companies’ consolidation are driving the economy as well as social changes in learning, labour, leisure, etc. The ‘Internet of Things’ and upcoming technologies promise to reconfigure whole sectors and services of human activity. Yet such important issues as big data management, corporate mergers and overall monetisation of Internet activities have not reached the larger public whose well-being is at stake. In addition, the various stakeholders involved in Internet Governance processes are working at full capacity to keep abreast with these changes. There is a difficulty in recruiting new entrants and summoning new energies as well as reaching out to larger constituencies who have vested interests in the status quo. It is time to ensure that Internet remains for everyone and is re-booted for what it has the potential to do: to empower people by sharing knowledge, facilitating participation and enlarging solidarity. Agenda 1. Opening remarks, presenting data on Internet trends which reveal gaps 2. Ice-breaker questions: Why does the Internet belong to everyone (collectively)? Who is reaping the benefits of the Internet and its governance? what is the upside (accelerated development, increased investment)?  what are the risks ((slowing or reversing the curve of development)? What alternative logic can be applied and what consequences to draw? 3. Know*ing origins, development, unique features and potential leading to open discussion on:  the need for collaboration and knowledge for digital transformation and evolution,  what is realistic and achievable collaboration and knowledge creation?  reality check (validation from the community) – is know*ing a repetition or superfluous, unnecessary, futile or, on the contrary, it is necessary and provides added value? 4. Duration, next steps, support, closing remarks   We hope you will register and come to join this much-needed discussion.    You may want to read the background paper on Education 3.0 and Internet Governance: a new global alliance for children and young people's sustainable digital development available at  https://www.cigionline.org/sites/default/files/gcig_no27web_0.pdf All the best Divina Frau-Meigs -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

He asked me to post this contributions received from Renata and Remmy. Renata(A MAG Member): * The theme #2 seems more in tone with the activities of IGC * According to CSTD resolutions, the IGF activities have to be more interactive so consider suggesting already a hashtag for the workshop and an online interaction framework embedded in the theme #IGFIGC for instance * Also according to CSTD resolutions, the IGF intersessional work is deemed of great importance to the advancement of debates in internet governance. So do consider relating the workshop to the IGF Best Practice Forums and Dynamic Coalition outputs, many of them announced by members of IGC participating in IGF and in these interesessional activities. Remmy (IGC Member ): - Erosion of identity or homogenisation by internet - IS it important? Should it be prevented? Can it be prevented? How? This sounds more like climate change theorem, which is largely off the track for me. We can better than use the topics to becoming academic research, much confusion embedded therein. Information Society (IS) must be distinctly used in the expression of the topics than abbreviation for easy sale. - A critical reflexion on the role of civil society in the Internet governance context This sounds near to it for me, but will a little rephrased as - Critical role of civil society within the Internet Governance Context - ICT for development: Harnessing the role of civil society for access, finance and knowledge city This is also near it, but could be rephrased differently - ICT for development: Connecting civil society roles on access, finance and knowledge. Please, drop in your comments, contributions and suggestions to move us forward on this great matter. We have few days left for us to get this done. I know I can count on you all. Have a lovely day !

I strongly support it !   BTW Louis' suggestion should be one of the main thematics to be addressed in the framework of WSIS. Up to now, the organisers (ITU, UNESCO, CSTD) restricted this societal thematicc to "privacy". It's highest time to break the deadlock on a wider societal debate and society-relevant proposals, fifteen years after the WSIS inception !   With very few exceptions, the last WSIS Forum was as boring as its predecessors. As usual, it was more focused on "High Level" self-promoting speeches (ministers, CEOs and organisers alike) and technocentric/deterministic declarations, than on the profound changes in human, sociological, educational, cultural, etc domains, inherent to the future of "information societies". This is what information Society is about !   Best greetings   Jean-Louis Fullsack         > Message du 29/05/16 02:39 > De : "Louis Pouzin (well)" > A : "governance at lists.igcaucus.org" , "Arsene TUNGALI (Yahoo)" > Copie à : > Objet : [governance] Fwd: Fwd: URGENT: IGF Workshop Proposal on behalf of IGC > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Pouzin (elc) > Date: Sun, May 29, 2016 at 1:36 AM > Subject: Re: [governance] Fwd: URGENT: IGF Workshop Proposal on behalf of IGC > To: "governance at lists.igcaucus.org" , "Arsene TUNGALI (Yahoo)" > > Hi, > > I would strongly recommend the 1st proposal on: > -          Erosion of identity or homogenisation by internet - IS it important?

Should it be prevented? Can it be prevented? How? MM: This idea needs better definition. What kind of identity are you talking about? Ethnic? Linguistic? National? Gender? I think the idea that global communication technologies “homogenize” culture is a long-running debate in the communication field, going back to the advent of satellites in the 1970s. it is clear that some smaller languages are declining, but Internet’s research and coordination capabilities often help to preserve them. The idea that technology would lead to a single, homogenized global culture has been completely discredited as far as I can see, but perhaps there are some people who still believe that. Generally, the homogenization charge comes from national elites whose monopoly control of state-based cultural institutions is threatened by the new technology. Many of the threats to minority identities come from these very same elites seeking to achieve a homogenized national culture. However, in terms of the substantive issues it raises, this one is potentially the most interesting, if you can formulate some more specific questions you want to address. - A critical reflexion on the role of civil society in the Internet governance context MM: another theme we have debated for a long time. I think you would need some more specific issues or questions you would want to discuss. - ICT for development: Harnessing the role of civil society for access, finance and knowledge city MM: does “knowledge city” mean what we call “smart cities” here in the U.S.? Those are interesting issues, and often intersect with what is called Internet of Things, but the linkage to _global_ internet governance is very weak. What would be the global angle on this topic? At this point, I am requesting members of the community to: - Make comments on the suggested topics, - Help agree on ONE topic (we will not wait for consensus but I just want to feel the room) - Help rephrase or reorient (if appropriate) the wording on the chosen topics, After we agreed on the above, I will send another call for speakers, panelists, onsite/remote moderators, rapporteurs, etc. Please do get ready if you are planning to be in Mexico to be involved in this workshop in any form.

All airports look pretty much alike to me. McDonalds restaurants exist in every country I visit. The stores in the GUM Department Store in Moscow are the same ones I find in most shopping malls in the United States. If anything, the Internet allows a display of variety that physical "shelf space" (in a general sense) is not limited. Cyberspace is nearly infinitely stretchable, and the search mechanisms for what you want are enormously better than in physical space. I would turn the topic around -- the preservation of diversity (and the need to nurture it) via the Internet, in contrast to existing forces for homogenisation.

I think the idea that global communication technologies “homogenize” culture is a long-running debate in the communication field, going back to the advent of satellites in the 1970s. it is clear that some smaller languages are declining, but Internet’s research and coordination capabilities often help to preserve them. The idea that technology would lead to a single, homogenized global culture has been completely discredited as far as I can see, but perhaps there are some people who still believe that. Generally, the homogenization charge comes from national elites whose monopoly control of state-based cultural institutions is threatened by the new technology. Many of the threats to minority identities come from these very same elites seeking to achieve a homogenized national culture. > > > > However, in terms of the substantive issues it raises, this one is potentially the most interesting, if you can formulate some more specific questions you want to address. > > > > - A critical reflexion on the role of civil society in the Internet governance context > > > MM: another theme we have debated for a long time.

Those are interesting issues, and often intersect with what is called Internet of Things, but the linkage to _global_ internet governance is very weak. What would be the global angle on this topic? Smart city is one aspect of knowledge city. The realisation of knowledge city call for integration of a secure ICTs solutions for assets, affordable access, creation, dissemination and knowledge nurturing. A knowledge based economy is driven by inclusiveness which eventually lead to sustainable growth. I strongly believe civil society need to dig down to see how they can function more than representing and advocating to bring the desire output we all desire. There's need for civil society to come together to think of how they could get involved in financing the development of ICT, what they could do to bring about access to respective local community, and promoting knowledge dissemination. > > > > At this point, I am requesting members of the community to: > > - Make comments on the suggested topics, > > - Help agree on ONE topic (we will not wait for consensus but I just want to feel the room) > > - Help rephrase or reorient (if appropriate) the wording on the chosen topics, > > > > After we agreed on the above, I will send another call for speakers, panelists, onsite/remote moderators, rapporteurs, etc. Please do get ready if you are planning to be in Mexico to be involved in this workshop in any form.

Thank you to everyone who has been growing the idea :-) My original concern rose out of the fact that it seems we are all being boiled down to a single, insipid?? flavour. Is this an inevitable outcome? (The IS was in capitals for emphasis, not an acronym) So then I wondered whether this is the outcome currently desired by the majority of people. And depending on the answer to the first two questions is there any action that could be taken to avoid the outcome? In the world of politics the pendulum seems to have begun to swing back from "come together" towards "divide". This is likely to create tension if the online world is swinging in the opposite direction - perhaps the tension is there already? Connection with the SDGs? The SDGs are agreed desirable outcomes for the world, but how you achieve the outcome at place A may not be the right answer for place B. This issue came up recently in the Dynamic Coalition Co-ordination meeting on the subject of the term "Best practice" - one person's best practice may be someone else's failure. However if we are, or are supposed to be, all one (ie homogenised) then this becomes a moot point. Finally, within the topic, I would like to see some debate on the right to say NO! which we seem to be losing very fast. Usually people laugh at me when I suggest this, but I have been continuing to say it. Most young people go through a stage where the most important thing is conformity. At this stage they may have no comprehension of the value of the right to say no. It would be very sad if, when they got to the point of appreciating and needing that right, they found it no longer existed. It would be good if the issue could be tackled from several different angles as has occurred here on the list, discussing and exploring rather than prescribing. Felipe (copied above) has a somewhat parallel idea from a technical point of view - between us we have made a similar proposal of these issues to the LACIGF for inclusion in the regional discussion.

I was in the middle of cooking for a dinner party when my friend's message arrived. I really didn't have time to stop and sit down and work out how I had got her help with a similar problem the last time, but I was fairly sure that the helpful information was "out there" somewhere, and that someone on IGC would help if they could. Several of you did. Thank you VERY much.

Workshop on Computational Intelligence Techniques for Industrial and Medical Applications (CITIMA2016) Message-ID: <039201d1ba88$358e6ca0$a0ab45e0$@unimi.it> *** CITIMA 2016 *** [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] **************************************************************************** ********************** Third International Workshop on Computational Intelligence Techniques for Industrial and Medical Applications Collocated with: SITIS 2016 - The 12h International Conference on SIGNAL IMAGE TECHNOLOGY & INTERNET BASED SYSTEMS 27 November, 1 December 2016 - Naples, Italy http://sitis-conf.org/en/citima-2016.php **************************************************************************** ********************** * Scope of the Workshop Computational Intelligence techniques are adopted in many industrial applications, like visual based quality control, image enhancement in consumer electronics, image quality enhancement, video based recognition of identity or behaviors, audio based speech recognition for enhanced human like interaction with machines etc. It also has a strong impact in medical applications, like medical image enhancement, semi-automatic detection of pathologies, pre-filtering and reconstruction of volumes from medical scans etc. Despite this growing diffusion, there are still many possible areas where computational intelligence application is partial or could be extended and improved, due to the actual limitations in terms of computational power or strict requirements in terms of assurance of the results. This workshop aims to investigate the impact of the adoption of advanced and innovative Computational Intelligence techniques in industrial and medical applications. This edition of the workshop is focused primarily on image processing and industrial and medical applications with special emphasis to real time systems and image acquisition pipelines. The workshop will bring together researchers on different disciplines from academia and industry with a common objective: go beyond the frontiers of today industrial applications of Computational Intelligence techniques. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: - Imaging for Industrial applications - Computational Intelligence approaches in Biomedical Signal Processing - Computational Intelligence approaches in Consumer Electronics - Real-time Multimedia Signal Processing - Intelligent User Interfaces - Virtual-augmented reality for Healthcare - Real-time digital images & watermarking - Real-time signal compression and analysis - Demosaicking and denoising in digital image acquisition pipeline - Spatial and temporal estimation and protection of media streams - Learning systems for signal and information processing and evidential reasoning for recognition - Soft computing approaches for embedded multimedia systems - Real time signal processing & vision - Expert system for embedded system - Color and illumination processing * Important dates - Submission deadline: September 11, 2016 - Acceptance/Reject notification: October 9, 2016 - Camera-ready: October 16, 2016 - Author Registration: October 23, 2016 * Submission Each submission should be at most 8 pages in total including bibliography and well-marked appendices, and must follow the IEEE double columns publication format available at: - Microsoft Word DOC - LaTex Formatting Macros Paper submission will only be online via: Easy Chair.

So the CSCG Nomcom will, under these circumstances, be proceeding with its selections. Please also note that the deadline for CS endorsement is Tues May 31; so that we can meet the June 7 deadline. Details on how to do this are below. Following from the announcement a few days ago of the IGF Planning Retreat, CSCG has decided that, while being deeply concerned about the way this exercise has been announced and the timeframes being suggested for us to endorse suitable civil society candidates, it will endorse suitable civil society names by the (June 7) deadline. We will use the best possible selection method we can in the circumstances of not enough time for a proper evaluation, and needing to do this while applications are still being received. Although this is not a satisfactory situation from our point of view, in the spirit of co-operating towards the introduction of better IGF processes for multistakeholder representation in the future, we will proceed as best we can. What this means for civil society candidates seeking CSCG endorsement is that, in addition to completing the IGF form, you must also send an email to nomcom08 at internetgov-cs.org, informing CSCG of your nomination and a brief statement outlining why you are a suitable civil society representative for this planning retreat. However, please note – THE SUBMISSIONS TO CSCG MUST REACH THE MAILING ADDRESS ABOVE NO LATER THAN COB THIS TUESDAY (May 31) - to allow us to also submit our recommendations by the IGF closing date of June 7. So briefly – to seek CSCG endorsement for attendance at this workshop, you must submit an email to us at nomcom08 at internetgov-cs.org no later than COB on Tuesday, May 31. (and you must also apply via the IGF process outlined at http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf-retreat) CSCG will make its recommendations taking into account the contribution nominees can make, as well as gender, geographic and political diversity. If more information comes to hand, we will inform CS lists as soon as possible. But we do believe it is important to select a diverse and representative group of civil society attendees for this retreat, and will do the best possible in the circumstances to achieve this.

He asked me to post this contributions received from Renata and Remmy. Renata(A MAG Member): * The theme #2 seems more in tone with the activities of IGC * According to CSTD resolutions, the IGF activities have to be more interactive so consider suggesting already a hashtag for the workshop and an online interaction framework embedded in the theme #IGFIGC for instance * Also according to CSTD resolutions, the IGF intersessional work is deemed of great importance to the advancement of debates in internet governance. So do consider relating the workshop to the IGF Best Practice Forums and Dynamic Coalition outputs, many of them announced by members of IGC participating in IGF and in these interesessional activities. Remmy (IGC Member ): - Erosion of identity or homogenisation by internet - IS it important? Should it be prevented? Can it be prevented? How? This sounds more like climate change theorem, which is largely off the track for me. We can better than use the topics to becoming academic research, much confusion embedded therein. Information Society (IS) must be distinctly used in the expression of the topics than abbreviation for easy sale. - A critical reflexion on the role of civil society in the Internet governance context This sounds near to it for me, but will a little rephrased as - Critical role of civil society within the Internet Governance Context - ICT for development: Harnessing the role of civil society for access, finance and knowledge city This is also near it, but could be rephrased differently - ICT for development: Connecting civil society roles on access, finance and knowledge. Please, drop in your comments, contributions and suggestions to move us forward on this great matter. We have few days left for us to get this done. I know I can count on you all. Have a lovely day !

I would like to thank members of the WG (co-organizers) for their contributions and for their time. We came up with 3 workshop suggestions: - Erosion of identity or homogenisation by internet - IS it important? Should it be prevented? Can it be prevented? How? - A critical reflexion on the role of civil society in the Internet governance context - ICT for development: Harnessing the role of civil society for access, finance and knowledge city At this point, I am requesting members of the community to: - Make comments on the suggested topics, - Help agree on ONE topic (we will not wait for consensus but I just want to feel the room) - Help rephrase or reorient (if appropriate) the wording on the chosen topics, After we agreed on the above, I will send another call for speakers, panelists, onsite/remote moderators, rapporteurs, etc. Please do get ready if you are planning to be in Mexico to be involved in this workshop in any form. We will need your expertise and experience to share during the workshop. Once this is done, then we will submit the workshop proposals to the IGF, using the online form at the IGF Website. Given the remaining time, we have less than 5 days to complete this so that by June 4th, we can submit the proposals for consideration to the IGC. I really count on your contributions within time so we can conclude this process.

So the CSCG Nomcom will, under these circumstances, be proceeding with its selections. Please also note that the deadline for CS endorsement is Tues May 31; so that we can meet the June 7 deadline. Details on how to do this are below.   Following from the announcement  a few days ago of the IGF Planning Retreat, CSCG has decided that, while being deeply concerned about the way this exercise has been announced and the timeframes being suggested for us to endorse suitable civil society candidates,  it will endorse suitable civil society names by the (June 7) deadline. We will use the best possible selection method we can in the circumstances of not enough time for a proper evaluation, and needing to do this while applications are still being received. Although this is not a satisfactory situation from our point of view, in the spirit of co-operating towards the introduction of better IGF processes for multistakeholder representation in the future, we will proceed as best we can. What this means for civil society candidates seeking CSCG endorsement is that, in addition to completing the IGF form, you must also send an email to nomcom08 at internetgov-cs.org, informing CSCG of your nomination and a brief statement outlining why you are a suitable civil society representative for this planning retreat. However, please note – THE SUBMISSIONS TO CSCG MUST REACH THE MAILING ADDRESS ABOVE NO LATER THAN COB THIS TUESDAY (May 31)  - to allow us to also submit our recommendations by the IGF closing date of June 7. So briefly – to seek CSCG endorsement for attendance at this workshop, you must submit an email to us at nomcom08 at internetgov-cs.org no later than COB on Tuesday, May 31. (and you must also apply via the IGF process outlined at http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/igf-retreat) CSCG will make its recommendations taking into account the contribution nominees can make, as well as gender, geographic and political diversity. If more information comes to hand, we will inform CS lists as soon as possible. But we do believe it is important to select a diverse and representative group of civil society attendees for this retreat, and will do the best possible in the circumstances to achieve this. Ian Peter ____________________________________________________________ You received this message as a subscriber on the list:     governance at lists.igcaucus.org To be removed from the list, visit:     http://www.igcaucus.org/unsubscribing For all other list information and functions, see:     http://lists.igcaucus.org/info/governance To edit your profile and to find the IGC's charter, see:     http://www.igcaucus.org/ Translate this email: http://translate.google.com/translate_t -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I start a new conversation to avoid confusion. For reference, please dorefer to the email thread: “IGF Workshop Proposal on behalf of the IGC”] Thank you all for thecomments/contributions we received so far. This shows that we all are interestedin having a workshop proposal be sent on behalf of the IGC. After going throughall contributions, I found myself in a very difficult position to sum up andcome up with one proposal. So, here are my thoughts.Please do bear with me, especially given the time constraint. The first proposal wassuggested by Deidre: “Erosion of identityor homogenisation by internet - Is it important? Should it be prevented? Can itbe prevented? How ?” This one has got morethan ten endorsements and for every new contribution received, I found myselfbeing more and more confused by the different aspects this proposal has initself. It looks very wide, vast for me, though covering some important facts. Contributions made byLouis Puzin made it a bit clearer but again when commented by other colleagues,it became again more and more confusing. I fear such workshop will have lessinterest from a CS point of view, also very little connexion to SDGS. Given I ampersonally not able to understand it properly; I find it difficult for me toendorse and submit it on behalf of the IGC. This said, I wouldsuggest this topic to be submitted by another individual member but not onbehalf of the IGC. The second topic had few(only two recorded) and I recall Milton asking it to be more specific, havespecific issues or questions that it addresses since it appears to be general,broad and not focused. I would suggest we leave it. The third proposal onICT4D got nearly 6 endorsements and I personally feel this is much clearer, hasa CS component in it, can easily attract participants if well prepared and withgood panelists. I am voting for it, would suggest IGC to maintain it but reframeit to make it a suitable for everyone. The original formulation(by Akinremi) was: “ICT for development: Harnessing the role of CSfor access, finance and knowledge” This was then rephrasedby Remmy this way: “ICT for development: Connecting Civil Societyroles on access, finance and knowledge” If you agree with me inkeeping this topic for the IGC as rephrased by Remmy, I will be requesting thefollowing from the group moving forward and given the time left before us: -         To makesuggestions on how best we can rephrase this proposal (or agree on theavailable sentence), -         To advise onthe format to chose (I would suggest not a panel which is less encouraged bythe IGF Secretariat and requires a background paper), -         To let meknow if you wish to be considered as workshop co-organizer -         To let meknow if you want to be considered as speaker, moderator, remote moderator,rapporteur, etc. I am particularly lookingfor outstanding individuals from this group who can give credit to our proposaland who have experience in workshop organization, planning to attend in person(or remotely) the upcoming IGF. Hope this is clear and I welcomecomments and discussion. But please bear in mind we have little time remainingand would suggest we finish this process by June 3rd to allow sometime to submit before the deadline.

It was also tweaked in light of the outcome of the recent WSIS Forum and CSTD meeting which emphasized the importance of Access to the Internet for reaching the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Additional input from the MAG and the NRI group would be valued.  Thank you and best regards, Constance _______________________________________________ Igfregionals mailing list Igfregionals at intgovforum.org http://intgovforum.org/mailman/listinfo/igfregionals_intgovforum.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But i hope your concerns as raised here (which i also share) will help CS representatives that will be selected to be shared/expressed during the retreat. Again, thank you so much for expressing your concerns, this is really and highly valued in our group. ------------------------------------------------------Arsène Tungali,IGC Co-Coordinator, Co-founder & Executive Director, Rudi InternationalFacebook - Twitter - LinkedInInternet Governance - Blogger - ISOC Ambassador - ICANN Fellow - Child Online Protection Evangelist. Democratic Republic of Congo Le Samedi 28 mai 2016 10h06, Chris Prince Udochukwu Njoku a écrit : Hi, colleagues,Parminder is in other words voting for CSCG's withdrawal, because these process holders had often not relied only on CSCG for appointment of CS reps. We need neither their statement nor a soothsayer to know this. They many a time appointed some CS reps directly. IMO, some people among the process holders would want CSCG out of the way and  we may not need to give them the chance to satisfy that want. So, I think we should march on no matter the odds. Maybe what we need is an adaptive feature (strategy) to not only survive but also make the best out of the inevitable evil.Regards,CPU___________________________________ Sent from Magnum 7X smartphoneOn May 28, 2016 8:16 AM, "parminder" wrote: If the process holders do not agree to allow CSCG to do the full selection of all CS nominees, we should withdraw (or else they tell us if they are in contact with another CS process of nomination that must be accommodated along with the CSCG process). parminder On Saturday 28 May 2016 02:56 AM, Arsene TUNGALI (Yahoo) wrote: Dear listers, Many of you are aware of the current call for nominations to attend an IGF Retreat scheduled to take place in July  in NY and where civil society members are requested to submit their nominations to be considered for endorsement by the CSCG. A good number of our members have openly expressed their desire, suggesting CS groups not to participate in this process given a lot of irregularities that this call bears in itself (timing, venue, transparency, openess, inclusion, nature of the retreat, etc). I would like to start a discussion within IGC to have your feelings if we should (as one of the 5 members of the CSCG) withdraw from the process and ask the CSCG not to nominate CS representatives or not. As per the CSCG rules and procedures, if more than 2 (out of 5 members) is against a process, this should stop. Please do share your thoughts on this and explain your stand. I am not sure how we will come up with a consensus but atleast this discussion can help us for future similar situations and help us make an informed decision. Should you feel we don't need to discuss this question, please disregard this email, or if you want to clarify some aspects of this email, you are more than welcome. As the IGC Co-coordinator, i felt it is important to start such discussion. Note that the nomination period which was extended is closing in few days.

I wouldn't mind to join in person to co-organize the workshop if there's funding but if not will join remotely. I would recommend two formats with strong support for the first one. - Break out group discussions. This format could help break expert into groups in the following field financing ict, access, and knowledge to critically discuss the involvement of civil society. I am very sure this format will leave no one behind the scene but will make all the group members to contribute. If organized properly in combination with lively elements, it will bring about lasting memory and result - BOF: Birds of a feather. Well, this format will only bring interested stakeholders together to discuss the proposed topic which I think it's makes people boring and less participating. Thanks.

Dear listers, Many of you are aware of the current call for nominations to attend an IGF Retreat scheduled to take place in July in NY and where civil society members are requested to submit their nominations to be considered for endorsement by the CSCG. A good number of our members have openly expressed their desire, suggesting CS groups not to participate in this process given a lot of irregularities that this call bears in itself (timing, venue, transparency, openess, inclusion, nature of the retreat, etc). I would like to start a discussion within IGC to have your feelings if we should (as one of the 5 members of the CSCG) withdraw from the process and ask the CSCG not to nominate CS representatives or not. As per the CSCG rules and procedures, if more than 2 (out of 5 members) is against a process, this should stop. Please do share your thoughts on this and explain your stand. I am not sure how we will come up with a consensus but atleast this discussion can help us for future similar situations and help us make an informed decision. Should you feel we don't need to discuss this question, please disregard this email, or if you want to clarify some aspects of this email, you are more than welcome. As the IGC Co-coordinator, i felt it is important to start such discussion. Note that the nomination period which was extended is closing in few days.
