NCUC and the ICANN "WSIS Workshop PlanningGroup"

[Erick Iriarte Ahon]

puppets? me, you, we, NCUC, ALAC, who?

first i don't believe you are a puppet, and please (please, again), don't
believe that from me.

If i read correctly the invitation to this "group" said:

"(...) It is an initial step towards developing a bottom-up consensus to
guide positions on Internet Governance, and to strengthen ICANN stakeholder
awareness of WSIS and WSIS participants' understanding of ICANN.
Submissions will be used to develop a statement with key themes about ICANN
and Internet Governance, which can be used as input and guidance for the
ICANN community and as a resource in working with other entities via the
WSIS process.
The statement will be circulated for endorsement and consideration by ICANN
Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees (as appropriate) and will
be presented at the next WSIS Workshop at the Cape town ICANN meeting in
December 2004." (...)

And with this information i say:

1. It's not only about speak 3 minutes un Cape Town (and if you travel to
Cape Town, you can use this 3 minutes to explain NCUC position if the
constituency want).
2. It's about create a document (or similar), about WSIS/Internet
Governance. Which better space to explain NCUC position about this issues?
(and not only the Internet Governance Caucus where you be one of the
leaders too).
3. All the time you speak about the necessity to participate and "speak"
the Non-Commercial vision. Use this space, and if you don't want to
participate, maybe another member of the NCUC can participate.

Yours..

Erick
