[governance] For Discussion [IGC Matters]

[Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro" (via governance Mailing List]

Dear All,


   1. Thank you to the previous Coordinators Arsene and Bruna for the past
   calendar year(s) and for taking us forward till now.
   2. Congratulations to the newly elected coordinators Bruna and Sheetal
   and to all those that stood in the elections and to the wider community for
   the elections.
   3. Thank you to the Returning Officers, Ian and Tapani who were involved
   in facilitating the elections.
   4. Thank you to Imran and Farzaneh for managing the Technical Team and
   the Technical team that helped move things swiftly.
   5. I would like to encourage the Coordinators to facilitate dialogue
   within the IGC of strategic initiatives that it would like to be involved
   in for this calendar year such as the IGF 2019, IGF 2020, Human Rights
   Council, get the IGC accredited if need be.
   6. Identify key thematic areas which we would like to focus on as the
   IGC and develop a Strategic Development Framework for engagement.Identify
   critical aspects of public policy that impact global public interest that
   may be relevant for IGC engagement from the WTO, WIPO, ETSO, ISO, ITU-T,
   ITU-R, IETF, NROs (such as APRICOT etc).
   7. Identify how we can input into the IGF intersessionals such as the
   various Best Practice Forums and the Dynamic Coalitions currently and for
   next calendar year. If you have to create Working Groups and Leads etc.
   8. To ensure that the Calendar is published and has dates on next call
   for elections, when the elections will take place.
   9. Put in place an Appeals Team for the IGC consistent with the Charter;
   10. Call for wide input into the 2020 IGF Themes for consideration by
   the MAG at the first Open meeting.
   11. Identify and call for consolidated input from the IGC to the High
   Level Panel Report so the IGC can make submissions and a Statement at the
   IGF in Berlin.
   12. Once we are sorted on where we stand in terms of strategic
   engagement, identify areas for collaboration with the other stakeholder
   communities such as the Technical community, Private Sector, and Public
   Sector.
   13. Those are thoughts for now.
   14. The Draft Statement that I had put on the list which was not acted
   on is an example of how to make calls for collaboration on Statements and
   usually we use an etherpad but that is for you to work out with the
   Technical community. I will encourage you to be swifter in responding to
   calling for consensus. The Draft that I sent to Bruna at the time was not
   actioned and is moot. These are things that as coordinators you can improve
   on for future.
   15. I would also encourage you as coordinators to take criticism as not
   an attack on persons but on process and to be flexible and use it to become
   better administrators.
   16. Whilst we are working on collaboration with other civil society
   stakeholders, we should primarily focus on strengthening the IGC and wake
   up the sleeping giant so it is a force for good.
   17. You got this. You are both capable and well able and we are behind
   you.

With every best wish,
Sala
