[discuss] Fwd: [bestbits] Fwd: Heads up on Brazil meeting preparation

[parminder]

Hi Hartmut,

With regard to you recent clarifications: It does not at all appear from 
the below report that 1Net meets LOG for banal logistics tasks (which 
too I am not clear what locus standi they have for).

Things like

  "It was discussed and agreed that the multistakeholder aspect of the 
meeting should be properly reflected in it chairmanship as well. So it 
wont be only ICANN and Brazil who will chair but at least two other 
people will be proposed to join as co-chair of the meeting."

make it quite clear that extremely important substantive decisions are 
being taken together by LOG and 1Net, unless there is an element of 
mis-reporting in the below report, which I have no reason to suspect.

One would greatly prefer that we know who is running the show, and on 
what legitimacies....

This was supposed to an open, public meeting with globally shared 
ownership and all such things....

Thanks, parminder

Hello all,

I have been invited (for /1Net) to attend a status update meeting 
between the representatives of the Brazil meeting's LOG and ICANN last 
Friday. Here are some key points discussed during the meeting:

- Hosting of the meeting: the government of Brazil is leading this 
aspect and is in bilateral discussion with few other countries so for 
the event to be hosted not only by Brazil but jointly with these 
countries. More update on this is normally expected this week or next.

- Chairing of the meeting: It was discussed and agreed that the 
multistakeholder aspect of the meeting should be properly reflected in 
it chairmanship as well. So it wont be only ICANN and Brazil who will 
chair but at least two other people will be proposed to join as co-chair 
of the meeting.

- Stakeholder groups: The issue of confusion in the the grouping of 
stakeholders has been discussed and it is expected that a clarification 
on this comes from the LOG. But the suggestion is to keep the break down 
as originally announced (4 groups: CS, Business, Technical and Academia) 
so not to induce further delay in the nominations.

- Because time is against us, the LOG has expressed its hope to have all 
the committees launched on January 10th. Which will have a direct 
implication of not having all stakeholders' representatives appointed by 
then. It was suggested to go with what is ready by the 10th, and start 
some preliminaries discussions while the rest join by mid January.

- The LOG has clearly expressed their preference to have /1net as their 
only interface for dealing with the rest of the community in general. 
Obviously to avoid having to deal directly with each and everyone 
separately.

- A meeting is planned in Brazil on the 10th to kick-off the committees and
begin addressing key organizing issues in order to provide some further 
specific information related to the whole planning. Arrangement is being 
made to have remote participation to that meeting for already appointed 
committee members who will not be able to travel to in Sao Paulo.

That is all I have for now.

Thanks.

- a.
