Still IGF is very specific "thing", and still you are making a poor parallel with the ITU which in terms of structure has absolutely nothing to do with the IGF. What is this all about?

<br><div><div>Le 2 sept. 2014 � 22:11, George Sadowsky a �crit :</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>Below are responses to both Mawaki and Michael Gurstein:<br><br>Mawaki,<br><br>Yes, the structure and participatory model are different, and that would make some difference. My concern is that if IGF is to be captured by the UN, changes would likely change place over time that would be at the sole discretion of the UN. <br><br>So to be direct in responding, I think that the evolution toward a "permanent" body within the UN ecosystem (to use a fashionable term) would likely mean the weakening of the multistakeholder ownership and bottom-up nature of the IGF processes. I point to the ITU as an example; its mandate is governed by its 190+ countries that have ITU membership, and their decision are the ones that determined the work plan of the organization. The same is true for the UN Secretariat, and nothing in any agreement between the UN and the IGF will alter that.<br><br>Mawaki, I think both the UN and the IGF are important and positive institutions in their own way. My argument is with the IGF going solidly and/or permanently under the UN umbrella, nothing more.

I think that both Sergei and Sarbuland were either at the D-1 or D-2 level, and that, with New York post adjustment and other additions comes to about $200-$250K per year. Multiply by eight years, and add in travel costs. The money that went to them had an opportunity cost and, as we have discussed, that cost is measured in terms of their blocking the center and thereby discouraging new initiatives. Now you may be correct in that the money did not come from the UN regular budget, but it came from some budget, and could have been used differently. <br><br>I take your latter point fully. The UN system contributed significantly to developing countries in terms of transferring ICT equipment, skills, experience, and knowledge. In general, this was done through the specialized agencies and the UN Secretariat, although UNDP had its Office of Project Execution (OPE) for a long time and UNFPA had its own large program. And the budgets in the 1970s and into the 1980s were robust; governments had bought into the multilateral aid program. I was fully involved in this technology transfer for 13 years as a UN Secretariat international civil servant; I worked in 35 countries directly and executed useful projects with my group in probably 40 others. <br><br>That ICT4D program continues to this day, but in a much abbreviated form, unfortunately, due to changes in funding patterns by donor countries. Looking back, and even at the time, those programs were generally well managed and the results support your point below; the donors got good value for their money.<br><br>My remarks should not be construed as anti-UN. The UN is a good institution that is dealing with difficult issues. However, I'm very conscious of the UN's ability to set up self perpetuating bureaucracies and then to use them to their advantage. You do remember when we cynically called GAID Sarbuland Khan's retirement program, and I think that we were right. I don't want the IGF to be anyone's retirement program.<br><br>Going back to the reason for this discussion, I hope that the end state of what is going on now is an extended IGF with more robust financial support from all sectors including the UN. But as others have pointed out, a multiplicity of donors helps to avoid capture by any one sector.<br><br>There would be advantages in maintaining some kind of UN link, but taking the IGF out from the umbrella of UN patronage. In particular, it would provide more freedom in deciding in which countries the IGF would be held. It would do away with the sham security system now being employed during the meetings, and it could provide more freedom to use funds in ways more effectively. One would have to balance this against the loss of convening power and diplomatic cach� that the UN provides now.<br><br>I hope that this provides the balance that concerned you.<br><br>Speaking of balance, I saw your statement regarding the distribution of community informatics folks across developed ad developing countries, and the implication for the adequacy of representation from the "civil society" sector It is pretty clear to me that the development side of "the rest of us" is poorly represented at the expense of professional civil society organizations, but I don't know how to right it. That's a larger problem.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>George <br><br>On Sep 2, 2014, at 1:03 PM, michael gurstein <<a href="mailto:gurstein@gmail.com">gurstein@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br><blockquote type="cite">A minor correction...<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">George, neither the UN ICT Task Force, nor the GAID " spent millions of<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">dollars"... neither of them had any money of their own (nor any sort of<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">significant contributory budget--Sarbuland to the best of my knowledge<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">continued to receive his salary through his previous appointment elsewhere<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">in the Secretariat for example)...
