[NCUC-DISCUSS] priorities

[William Drake]

Hi

Having the UN General Assembly review the WSIS+10 in a purely intergovernmental setting entails some real risks, and nongovernmental stakeholders really need to take what opportunities to weigh in the TBD ‘modalities’ of the preparatory process allow.

This is a really important issue that we have discussed in the public Internet governance sessions at the Los Angeles and Singapore meetings, and we will so do so again in Buenos Aires. We’ve also discussed it a number of times in the CCW on Internet governance, alas thus far without getting consensus on submitting a statement. 

So I’m very happy to see ISOC moving forward and hope this gets individual/organizational member support. If there were also interest in supporting it at the constituency or stakeholder group level I’d think that’d be worth discussing.  

Bill
