[governance] Proposal for IGC to formally respond to "Please Cameroon did not shut down the Internet !!!"

I think a letter might be useful.

But to me the questions go a little further, and to the very heart of what 
ISOC (and the rest of us) believe in the context of what is likely to be 
common events in the age of cyberwarfare. Here is what I just wrote to the 
ISOC Internet policy list.

(BEGIN QUOTE FROM ISOC LIST POSTING)

The recent correspondence here with the Cameroon chapter of ISOC raises some 
questions for me, and I wonder if someone could clarify for me:

Are applications to become ISOC chapters vetted in any way – are certain 
criteria applied?

Are ISOC chapters formally informed about and expected to uphold key 
principles such as “The Internet is for Everyone?”



If not, perhaps it is time to tighten requirements so that embarrassing 
events do not occur where ISOC chapters appear to be able to speak for the 
internet community in supporting nation state actions against minorities or 
other nation states?.

I realise there is some difficult territory here. How many of us, for 
instance, would support actions by our government against (insert the name 
of your nation state's current no 1 enemy here) which included action to 
curtail internet access for its citizens?

I raise this because I think the principle here is universal and goes beyond 
national interests – nobody should be denied access to the internet for any 
political purposes by any political power – ever.

That is the stand I would like to see the Internet Society take. And it 
would be great to see its chapters knowing that it is expected of them to 
take such stances when such events occur.

But if the principle of “the Internet is for Everyone” is something we 
believe can be denied for political purposes under some circumstances, 
shouldn't we be less critical of the Cameroon chapter stance?

Hoping for a strong stance here!

Subject: Re: [governance] Proposal for IGC to formally respond to "Please 
Cameroon did not shut down the Internet !!!"

The reasons why I suggested a letter to ISOC Cameroon Chapter rather
than the government of Cameroon are:

1) There was a posting from the president of ISOC Cameroon Chapter here
on the list to which I think that an official and clear reaction would
be appropriate.

2) I think that any attempts from IGC to directly influence the
actions of the government of Cameroon are likely to be totally
ineffective. By contrast, and especially in view of the stance taken by
Mafor Edwan (a vice president of ISOC Cameroon Chapter), from my
outsider's perspective I think that the chances are intact that a
letter from IGC to the ISOC Cameroon Chapter would be discussed and
considered there. And I would expect it to have much greater impact on
the actions of the government of Cameroon than any views of foreigners
if the Cameroon Chapter of ISOC takes a clear stance.

Concerning the question regarding whether IGC can send such a letter,
here is a precedent which shows quite concretely that an IGC statement
can take the form of a letter addressed to a particular actor in a
particular country:

http://igcaucus.org/letter-international-civil-society-organizations-president-dilma-rousseff-support-her-statement-68th

In that case, we had the good fortune of having the opportunity that the
letter could be hand-delivered by an IGC member (picture of Carlos A.
Afonso delivering the letter:
http://igcaucus.org/upload/letter_delivery_2013-09-27.jpg ).

Greetings,
Norbert
