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

Yes, Alx,

I agree with your points – we have a long way to go before we are really equal partners with governments in multistakeholderland; on many levels.

My thoughts were purely on process for non-governmental reps at this stage (and I mis-read the EMC in my original posting). Because for some of us processes are underway and there was uncertainty about numbers (and changes for some of us announced for the first time here).

I don’t know whether we can achieve much in this short pre Brazil period but if there is a general feeling here to complain that there should only be 3 governments (to align with other stakeholder numeric representation) I certainly wouldn’t oppose it. Or expect it to make any difference.

But I would love in that case to be a fly on the wall observing governments choosing 3 representatives to cover all their interests/factions/regions globally – while having some empathy given the difficulties any of us have in choosing 3 representatives to cover our full communities, be they civil society, technical, academic, or business.

Ian, 

wouldn't there be a larger concern for the fact that the main committee is 50-50 governments vs. the world (in which they can still have allies)? Plus a purely intergovernental, to be tailor-made, advisory committee. That's already a major victory for the Brazil government and consistent with  a composition of the Multistakeholder Advisory Group of the IGF (Internet Governance Forum) which has been for years a very high hurdle to surmount and a gross violation of WSIS. 

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty

  Interesting as regards the committees -

  stakeholder groups within 1net were looking at nominations for HLC (these have now been announced as 3/3/3/3) and also for Executive Multistakeholder Committee - but these appear to have been filled locally and are no longer required?? Am I correct in my understanding here?
