[governance] IGF Retreat: IGC to go or not?

Tue May 31 07:23:18 EDT 2016

Dear Parminder & CPU,
Thanks for your contributions. 
Given that we received less responses here, I am not in a position to say that the IGC will not go. 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,

 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___________________________________

  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).

 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.
