The wiki doc could consist of our charter's Purpose and Goals sections. Here is an updated version with a few minor changes (not semantic):
 

Purpose


The basic principle of multi-stakeholder participation has been accepted by WSIS as the founding principle for establishing the modalities of participation in the entities resulting from the Tunis Commitment and the Tunis Agenda. These entities include, but are not restricted to, the UNSG process for enhanced cooperation (Tunis Agenda Para 71), the Internet Governance Forum (Tunis Agenda, paragraph 72), and in the activities involved related to Implementation and follow-on (Tunis Agenda Para 103). 

There is, however, no common understanding yet of what multi-stakeholder participation involves nor of what modalities should be used in enabling full and equal multi-stakeholder participation. It is also expected that full and equal multi-stakeholder participation will take time to reach full fruition.

This Working Group is established to develop the concepts of multi-stakeholder participation and to produce recommendations for the modalities that will enable full and equal multi-stakeholder participation. The Working Group is also organized as an advocate Working Group that will work with the appropriate UN and other organizations to encourage them in the evolution towards a full multi-stakeholder process.


Goals


The purpose of the Working Group is : 

·         To define multi-stakeholder participation in a way that is inclusive and accessible to all stakeholders.

·         To develop and formalize timely recommendations for modalities of multi-stakeholder participation that can be applied, among others, to activities in:

·         The Internet Governance Forum (IGF)

·         The Process for enhanced cooperation

·         WSIS Implementation and follow on activities

·         To promote such recommendations to relevant UN and other international organizations 

·         To provide ongoing recommendations and advocacy once the original mechanisms are established

Hi,

Was just getting my house in order again and reviewing the number of 
people who had signed up.

At this point there has been a lag between those subscribing and 
those sending me, as temporary record keeper, statements indicating 
support of the charter - the prerequisite criterion for membership.  
Please send me such a note.

Not that we have anything to vote on yet, but I would like to have a 
complete list of members ready if we need to vote on anything in the 
near future.

Also, I would like us to select our chair(s) real soon now.  I 
definitely want to be out of this role before the month of January 06 
is out.  I suggest we allow the rest of this week for any new members 
to sign up after the flurry of discussion in the other lists due to 
the impending consultations, and then select next week or the week 
after at the latest.

Also, does anyone want to take the lead on creating a first wiki doc 
on the contribution we might make to the IGF consultation.

thanks
a.
