Bonjour
? tous?!

?

???? Daniel
Pimentia a eu l?amabilit? de porter sur ce Forum la situation critique du FSN. Une
information qui circulait depuis 2 mois dans la presse.

?

Fallait il cr?er ou ne pas cr?er le FSN?? En tous cas, il a
?t? cr??. 

Dans la d?claration de la soci?t? civile sur le Sommet Mondial
sur la Soci?t?
de l?Information, publi?e le 18 D?cembre 2005?
et intitul?e ?Bien plus aurait pu ?tre r?alis??, on peut y
lire : 

?? Nous approuvons le lancement du
Fonds de Solidarit? Num?rique (FSN) en Mars 2005 et prenons note du soutien
qu?il a obtenu ? la fois de la part des Nations Unies et du Sommet de Tunis.
N?anmoins, en prenant en compte le fait que le FSN a ?t? ?tabli sur un base
volontaire, nous sommes pr?occup?s qu?il n?y ait pas d?engagements clairs de la
part des gouvernements et du secteur priv? pour fournir le support mat?riel
requis pour assurer le succ?s de ce fonds. ?

?

Il
s?agit l? d?une position claire et nette de la soci?t? civile qui ne peut donc
qu??tre d??ue de la tournure que prend le FSN.

Si la
soci?t? civile a approuv? le lancement du FSN, il est coh?rent qu?elle concourt
? le faire survivre aux difficult?s de l?heure. 

?

Charles
Geiger sugg?re que le fait d??tre?:

-??????
Une fondation priv?e?;

-??????
Bas?e ? Gen?ve avec des salaires pay?s en Francs suisses,

?est pr?judiciable ?au FSN. Il se trouve, pour contredire cette
th?se,que d?autres Fonds existent comme fondations mondiales, priv?es, bas?es ?
Gen?ve et qui dans la m?me p?riode que le FSN on collect? plus de 1?000 fois plus d?argent que le FSN. 

?

Comme MG,
nous doutons que la question du 1% pour le financement du FSN soit si rebutante
car c?est un principe qui existe dans de nombreux pays aussi bien du Nord que du
Sud.

?

Cela nous
am?ne ? d?plorer que l?audit promis par le Pr?sident Abdoulaye Wade ne soit pas
r?alis? ? ce jour. 

?

?

Certaines
informations font ?tats de ce qu?une rencontre du Conseil se tiendrait ces
jours ci, il est important que la soci?t? civile se mobile et mobilise les
autres acteurs pour la poursuite des activit?s du FSN.

?

_______________________________________

Dear Francis,

Apparently the subject of the 1% is extremely sensitive and polemical.

My intention was not to trigger a debate about the validity of the 1% 
principle but? rather inform of a situation of concern about the DSF 
where I supposed that the claim for an audit could be a consensual 
matter within civil society, independently of the diverging opinions 
on the 1% principle.

As for the 1%, with no intention to feed again this specific debate, 
I shall just note that:
1) The idea of the DSF was not for a "forced" tax but rather a 
consumer "voluntary" contribution when buying ICT equipments.
2) The telecommunication reform, in almost all Latin America 
countries, have set up a mechanism where a fixed percentage of the 
telecommunication consumer bill (says 2% in some countries) is used 
to feed some type of "universal access fund" which is supposed to 
be? used to finance social projects of telecommunication (in many 
case it goes beyond telecom and it serves for instance telecenters).

This mechanism has been functionning for many years with no legal 
problem and represents a huge amount of money derived from carriers 
to fund social projects. The situation is extremely different 
depending of the countries (some have stored the money without giving 
use, others have used for non planned purposes, and others do develop 
social projects) but this is not the subject here.

Daniel

PS: I totally agree with Mike Gurstein on the deep dififculty to fund 
(beyond the next few years) such networking projects. Our Latin 
America MISTICA project (http://funredes.org/mistica) is a perfect 
example of it (people, years after, still complain on the end of what 
was an extremely efficient mechanism and had to stop due to lack of 
support: the posthume web site keep receiving the same huge amount of 
visits 5 years after death!).

Dear friends

Your kind contributions and suggestions  ( whether  open or 
confidential, formal or informal   )   are going to  be  most welcome.
Indeed, following my presentation at the WSIS Forum,  ( Opening to 
competition the namespace infrastructure  
<http://net4d.org/net4d-geneva-may09.html> 20 May 2009, Geneva ) , an 
expert mission was granted to me by ITU in order to :

   1. Explore the technical possibilities allowed by the use of the
      /class/ parameter  ( cf. RFC 5395
      <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5395> superseding  RFC 2929
      <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2929.txt>) in order to open to
      competition the DNS namespace services infrastructure of IP-based
      networks ;
   2. Assess the consequences in terms of IP-based networks ( including
      Internet ) policies and governance, as well as for the general
      economy, in particular to confront the economic crisis ;
   3. Assess other applications, as appropriate, such as, /inter alia/,
      tools to enable the semantic web, to facilitate linguistic
      diversity, to improve security , and to provide namespace services
      for the "Net of Things", and "Next Generation Networks".

that I intend to conduct in the most inclusive way..
As output of this mission, two documents shall be available in an open 
access manner :

   1.

      A background paper for the general public

   2.

      An issue paper for decision makers, analyzing the policy aspects
      of the usage of DNS classes,

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All the best

Francis

=======================================================

Chers amis

Vos contributions et suggestions (qu'elles soientt publiques ou 
confidentielles,
formelles ou informelles) vont ?tre les bienvenues.
En effet, ? la suite de ma pr?sentation dans le cadre du Forum du  SMSI 
Forum, ( ( Opening to competition the namespace infrastructure 
<http://net4d.org/net4d-geneva-may09.html>, Ouverture ? la concurrence 
de l'infrastructure  de l'espace de nommage 20 Mai 2009, Gen?ve), une 
mission d'expert m'a ?t? confi?e par l'UIT en vue de:

    1. Explorez les possibilit?s techniques permises par l'utilisation 
du param?tre /class/  
(cf. RFC 5395 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5395> qui remplace la   RFC 
2929 <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2929.txt>)  afin d'ouvrir ? la 
comp?tition, l'infrastructure des services de nommage DNS des r?seaux IP;
    2. ?valuer les cons?quences en termes des politiques et de la 
gouvernance des  r?seaux IP (en incluant l'Internet  lainsi que pour 
l'?conomie en g?n?ral, en particulier pour faire face ? la crise 
?conomique;
    3. ?valuer d'autres applications appropri??s, telles que, entre 
autres, des outils afin de permettre l'?panouissement de la Toile 
S?mantique, afin de faciliter la diversit? linguistique, afin 
d'am?liorer la s?curit?, et de fournir des services de nommage pour le 
"R?seau des Objets" et les R?seaux de Nouvelle G?n?ration.

que j'ai l'intention de conduire d'une fa?on aussi inclusive que faire 
se peut.

  Comme r?sultat de cette mission, deux documents seront disponibles en 
libre acc?s:

    1.        Un document d'information pour le grand public
    2.        Un document pour les d?cideurs, analysant les aspects 
politiques et gouvernance de l'utilisation
des  /classes / DNS,

Bien cordialement
