[Mmwg] IGF Input II

[Milton Mueller]

I would emphasize the importance of putting forward topics that will NOT be wanted by governments and private sector. E.g., human rights topics such as freedom of expression, privacy, and the like.

Dear List,
 
first of all in Jackie and I would thank all of you who participated in the discussion which finaly enabled us to present an IGF Input Statement on the "Programme Committee". We collected a lot of good ideas and we are also happy to have experienced that regardless of different approaches and opinions we were able to find common language on difficult issues. And we learned once again that here is something like the "wisdom of the group" which very often is more balanced than an individual intervention. So once again thanks for the cooperation. And lets hope that our input will have some impact.      
 
But as as you know, "after the statement is before the statement", we have to start a new round of discussion with regard to question 2.
 
Here is the challenge:
 
"Mr. Nitin Desai, the Secretary-General's Special Adviser for the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) who chaired the meeting, invited participants to reflect on the following questions: Which public policy issues the first meeting of the IGF should address. 
All stakeholders are invited to submit their views on these question.
Please let us know what your views are on:
Public policy issues to be discussed at the first meeting of the IGF.
Please let us know your top three choices and give a short explanation on the reasons for your choices by 31 March 2006".
 
How we proceed? I propose that all of us send their "top three" with short explanations and than we will find out, which subjects has a majority. This time is not voting for people but voting for subjects .-))))
 
Best regards
 
Jackie & Wolfie
