[discuss] Greetings from a new convener !

[Paul Wilson]

Dear all,

I really do appreciate the large number of supportive messages I’ve received, both on and off the list.  With limited time available I’ll certainly do my best, and appreciate all the help that I can get from you all.

It’s also nice to see how many hot topics are ripe for discussion, though this thread is not really the place to do that.

Just from these recent messages, I can see:

- Future of Netmundial
- How to define if the Internet is "working well”
- Relationship of 1net with IGF
- Relationship of 1net from ICANN and IGF
- Netmundial outcomes according to theme
- Standards of behaviour
- Should the list be moderated

Can I suggest that for those who raised these issues, it would be best to start a fresh topic of discussion, with some clear questions, statements or actions proposed.  Then we can have a more orderly exchange.

I’m hoping BTW that the 1net “Discourse” platform can finally be activated, and linked fully to this mailing list, for those who prefer that type of interaction (while still fully supporting the mailing list of course).  If there’s anyone here who has technical knowledge of Discourse, and prepared to help, that’d be most appreciated!

Thanks again,

Paul.

Strengthening the IGF will be addressed, as will other institutional issues.  Moreover, strengthening options and the IGF’s role should be discussed in one or two main sessions; there are MAG+ groups working to program those now.  And just to echo what Paul said, the CoCom has discussed the possible roles of 1Net at some length, and it’s safe to say there’s little prospect of it supplanting the IGF in any way.  Whether it could come to contribute something more in other settings, e.g. in relation to the NETmundial Alliance initiative, remains to be seen.

BTW, if my memory is correct one of those action points would be the strengthening of IGF (or its legitimate successor after the 10th anniversary.)
