[discuss] cgi.br release regarding Brazil Global MSM on Internet Governance

Colleagues:

I wanted to clarify that for business this is and has been consistently articulated as our position.  The members of committees are there to act as liaisons to the broader stakeholder community.  And while ICC/BASIS may have taken the lead in coordinating and nominating, our consultation will not be limited to the companies and associations that are ICC, BASIS or related association members - this will be a broader business stakeholder consultation.  This is one of the reasons why we have stressed the need for clear agendas in advance of meetings, consultation periods between meetings and detailed reports of meetings.   

I have one request to make of sectoral participants who may not be part of ICC/BASIS other participating association membership, and we make the same request within the memberships...  this is a process we have learned from dealing with some complex issues in policy development for business representation into OECD.  We ask that subgroups within the business stakeholder group try to coalesce around a position that represents the collective subgroup point of view on a given issue/question.  The reason we ask for this is that trying to efficiently build consensus across 5 or 6 varying group positions is difficult enough, it is exponentially more complex to try to do so across nuanced positions of dozens or hundreds of individual companies.  We will be working on developing/elaborating these consultation mechanisms in the coming week.  We were hoping to get more information on the timing of the meeting process, but will revert again to our continued request for clarity of agendas and documentation with proper notice and consultation periods.  In our development of a consultation process, we will try to also identify an "in case of emergency break glass process" should appropriate time periods not be provided for the more deliberate consultation process at some point in the meeting development.

Best 

Joe

That's an interesting idea, but aren't the people in Brazil representing 
(and reporting back to) their stakeholder groups, rather than 1net?
