>> Governance (WGIG)
>>
>> > To Members of WSIS Civil Society, Caucuses and Working Groups
>> >
>>> The WSIS Civil Society Internet Governance Caucus hopes to assemble
>>> a
>>> list of candidates for membership in the Working Group on Internet
>>> Governance (WGIG). The purpose of the list is to give Mr. Kummer
>>> and
>>> Mr. Annan a set of candidates from which they can select members for
>>> the WGIG. This list will not be the only input into the membership
>>> decision process, and does not prevent any group or individual from
>>> submitting her or his recommendations. We wish to provide the
>>> collective recommendations of WSIS caucuses and working groups.
>>>
>>> After much deliberation on the process by which the candidate list
>>> would be compiled, we, as coordinators of the Internet Governance
>>> caucus have made the decision to invite each of the WSIS civil
>>> society caucuses and working groups to suggest between one (1) and
>>> three (3) names for inclusion on the candidate list.
>>>
>>> There is not agreement for this course of action among members of
>>> the
>>> IG Caucus, but time is pressing and we feel WSIS Civil Society must
>>> have an opportunity to participate in this process. This can work
>>> if
>>> we all try to make it work. It means trying to think what is best
>>> for civil society, and not any particular interest group. Please
>>> read this note carefully. And refer to the draft statement on
>>> structure of the WGIG you can find at this URL
>>> <<http://www.too-much.tv/internet_governance/>http://www.too-
>>> much.tv/internet_governance/> (Spanish, French,
>>> English and Portuguese.)
>>>
>>> One of the goals for this candidate list is to make sure that all of
>>> the topical areas that might be included in the governance debate
>>> are
>>> covered. Indications are that the WGIG will take a broad view of
>>> Internet governance, and issues will include ICANN, Spam,
>>> information
>>> and network security, privacy and other ICT rights issues,
>>> intellectual property rights, and interconnection agreements to name
>>> just a few. Asking the other caucuses and working groups for
>>> recommendations is considered the best way to make sure that all
>>> topics of concern to WSIS civil society are present.
>>>
>>> Note that our recommendations about the structure of the WGIG (here
>>> <<http://www.too-much.tv/internet_governance/>http://www.too-
>>> much.tv/internet_governance/>) say we think the group
>>> should be small, between 19 and 31 total core members. By asking for
>>> nominations from all of WSIS civil society we are inviting a
>>> potentially large number of names to be submitted. Some means of
>>> reducing the composite list we receive may be required. We look
>>> forward to your advice on how we might handle this situation, it is
>>> quite likely. We suggest discussions about this are started now on
>>> the CS plenary list.
>>>
>>> Please attempt to prioritize your nominations. If you are unable to
>>> do so please state clearly that your list is not prioritized.
>>> Coordination of nominations among caucuses/working group will be
>>> very
>>> helpful.
>>>
>>> Individual members of the CS plenary may also submit nominations.
>>> Individuals should submit their nominations based on the criteria
>>> explained below.
>>>
>>> As background for making the caucus/working group decision on the
>>> candidates, a draft of the WSIS Civil Society caucus's contribution
>>> on the WGIG can be found online at
>>> <<http://www.too-much.tv/internet_governance/>http://www.too-
>>> much.tv/internet_governance/>. These notes discuss
>>> some of the contents of the contribution.
>>>
>>> We consider it critical that a balanced WGIG be drawn from a multi
>>> dimensional consideration of diversity. That is, diversity in terms
>>> of sector, region, gender, and language background, among others,
>>> must be considered in assembling the WGIG. It is also important
>>> that
>>> there be a balance between members from developing and developed
>>> countries. It is also considered very important that candidates
>>> have
>>> a degree of knowledge of the issues, including policy, legal and
>>> technical, involved in the Internet governance debate. We also
>>> suggest candidates should have experience working in an
>>> international
>>> committee environment, be aware of ICT for development issues and
>> > human rights. No candidate is expected to have all these qualities,
>>> but we are suggesting they should be people with broad experience.
>>>
>>> It is considered critical that though all participants come from
>>> different perspectives, they should be people who are willing to
>>> listen and consider carefully the views of others. It is expected
>>> that the best outcome for the WGIG will come from an assembly of
>>> open
>>> minded individuals who can share their knowledge and expertise in an
>>> cooperative manner.
>>>
>>> Finally it is considered important that any individual nominated as
>>> a
>>> candidate understand the amount of work this assignment would
>>> involve
>>> and indicate a readiness to participate. While the work plan of the
>>> WGIG has yet to be determined, it is expected that the WGIG will
>>> begin work in the final months of 2004 and finish by July 2005. The
>>> schedule will most probably involve, email discussions,
>>> teleconferences and up to four (4) face to face meetings. We
>>> anticipate that the working language of the WGIG itself will be
>>> English. It is expected, however, that there will be a great
>>> sensitivity to language issues as the WGIG conducts its work and
>>> consultations.
>>>
>>> In making your caucuses/working groups recommendation, we request
>>> that you submit the following information, which will be passed on
>>> to
>>> Mr. Kummer, with the names of the candidates:
>>>
>>> - Reliable contact information for the candidate; i.e. email,
>>> telephone, fax and postal address.
>>>
>>> - A statement indicating the qualities that the person would bring
>>> to
>>> the WGIG. While no particular content is being required, it is
>>> recommended that this section include a discussion of the concerns
>>> mentioned above and a discussion of the experience and perspective
>>> the candidate would bring to the WGIG discussions.
>>>
>>> - A statement of the person's governance related affiliations. That
>>> is information such as: which sector does the person belong to
>>> (government, industry or civil society), what caucuses/working
>>> groups
>>> do they participate in, employer, national background, and language
>>> skills.
>>>
>>> - An indication from the candidate that they understand the work
>>> load
>>> they are volunteering for and that they are available during the
>>> expected period of deliberations.
>>>
>>> - A short statement about your caucus/working group. Include
>>> information about the group's background and history, membership
>>> (numbers), and achievements or other information you think relevant.
>>> Please give a URL for a website if you have one.
>>>
>>> It is recommended that these statements be no more then two pages in
>>> length. Candidate information will be collated and published on the
>>> Internet
>>> <<http://www.too-much.tv/internet_governance/>http://www.too-
>>> much.tv/internet_governance/> (with
>>> candidates personal contact information removed.)
>>>
>>> Members of the Internet governance caucus will aggregate the names
>>> received and send them along with the name of the caucus/working
>>> groups that made the nomination to Markus Kummer. If any
>>> reconsideration of names is required in light of issues arising from
>>> the WGIG consultation on September 20-21 we will hold any relevant
>>> discussions about this on the plenary mailing list.
>>>
>>> Time is short on gathering the list of candidates and you are
>>> requested to submit the candidate statements within the next two
>>> weeks. The deadline for submission of candidate statements is 20
>>> Sept, 2004. All statements should be sent to:
>>>
>> > <mailto:igov at tla.crepundia.net>igov at tla.crepundia.net
>>>
>>> In concluding, we thank you for helping us complete this important
>>> task.
>>>
>>> Please try to coordinate your nominations with other caucuses and
>>> working groups. And please consider the qualities your nominations
>>> will bring to the WGIG carefully. If you have questions about the
>>> process please contact the coordinators of the Caucus:

>>> Jeanette Hofmann and Adam Peake
