Dear Martin,

why are they not there?
35 nominations were received from the different geographic
and thematic caucuses; given the expectation that the WGIG
itself is going to be about 30 people, the goal was to
identify a slate of about 10 people, which, given the effort
at geographical balance, made about 2 names per region.
This is why all nominees from a given caucus could not be
included and a selection had to be made.
I am sorry I realize I did not cc to the plenary the mail
announcing the slate and briefly describing the process
followed. Please find it below :
Dear all,
After the first round of consultations in Geneva on
September 20-21, the size, composition and mandate of the
WGIG remain in discussion. This makes the selection of
potential members from civil society a delicate issue that
the Internet Governance Caucus wanted to address in the most
transparent and inclusive manner.
In its contribution to the September Consultations, the
IG Caucus indicated its recommendations for the WGIG :
- a limited size (20-30 members)
- a facilitating role for a larger group of stakeholders
rather than a high level decision-making group
- a fully balanced composition (1/3 governments, 1/3 private
sector, 1/3 civil society)
The IG Caucus therefore decided to designate a slate of
about 10 people, aiming as much as possible for a
geographical, gender, age and profile balance.
The Internet Governance Caucus also considered that although
the origin of the WGIG creation was to address principally
the Domain Name System and ICANN, it will progressively
cover a broader definition of Internet Governance and
will need to expand its competence pool accordingly.
Finally, the main purpose of the WGIG should be to
facilitate an iterative consultation and drafting process
within the larger group of concerned stakeholders, via both
physical meetings and online consultations.
In that context, the IG Caucus not only determined a list of
nominees for itself but also invited other regional and
thematic civil society caucuses to identify potential
candidates to be taken into consideration. This dual and
bottom-up process process produced a list of 35 nominees
and the profiles of nominees wer publicly posted on
http://www.net-gov.org/wgig/
.
At the initiative of one of the Caucus co-coordinators, a
small NomCom was formed to review the list of nominees and
facilitate identification of an appropriately balanced slate
to be transmitted to the Secretary General.
This process was not easy and resulted in two complementary
sets of names.
First, a limited slate of candidates for the WGIG itself :
- Carlos Afonso (Brazil), Technical Development Director,
RITS
- Karen Banks, (Australia), Association for Progressive
communications
- Vittorio Bertola (Italy), Chair, ICANN At Large Advisory
Committee
- Avri Doria, (USA), Lulea University, Sweden
- William Drake (USA), President, Computer Professionals for
Social Responsibility
- Raul Echeberria, (Uruguay), LACNIC CEO
- Wolfgang Kleinwächter (Germany), Professor for
International Communication Policy and Regulation,
University of Aarhus,
Denmark
- Marlyn Tadros, (Egypt), Executive Director, Virtual
Activism
- Ang Peng Hwa, (Singapore), Dean of School of Communication
& Information, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
Second, based on the submissions from other Civil Society
thematic caucuses, a list of "connectors" has been
established to facilitate interaction with various thematic
constituencies as the process expands to a broader range of
issues :
- Jonathan Cave (UK), senior Economist, Rand Europe;
connector for the Scientific Information Working Group
- Georg Greve (Germany), President, Free Software
Foundation Europe, connector for the Patents, Copyrights and
Trademanrks WG;
- Gus Hosein (Canada), Fellow Information Systems, London
Schoold of Economics and Senior Fellow, Privacy
International; connector for Privacy and Security WG;
- Joseph Sarr (Senegal), President, NTIC Commission of the
Dakar Regional Council; connector to the Cities and Local
Authorities Caucus
- Robert Sagun (Philippines), Policy Coordinator of the WSIS
Youth Caucus
- Hiroshi Kawamura (Japan), Japanese Society for the
Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities (JSRPD), Daisy
Consortium Board member; connector to the Persons with
Disabilities caucus
- Aidan White (Ireland), General secretary of the
International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), connector for
the Media caucus;
- Jacqueline A. Morris (Trinidad and Tobago), connector for
the Gender Caucus.
(A full list of Civil Society caucuses and Working Groups is
available at : http://www.wsis-cs.org/caucuses.html
)
These connectors will follow closely the work of the WGIG
and participate in its process to help ensure a good
articulation between the different issues. Should the WGIG
decide to create sub-groups on thematic issues, these
connectors will also help mobilize the relevant actors.
This dual list intends to cover on the one hand the
immediate nomination needs in the WGIG creation phase and,
on the other hand, to anticipate its future activities.
No list or suggestion can be perfect and the members of the
NomCom tried their best to pay tribute to the broad range of
competences available. We hope the above-mentionned lists -
that will be sent to Markus Kummer for his meetings in New
York tomorrow - will facilitate the full participation of
civil society in the WGIG.
The NomCom was composed of Adam Peake, Renate Bloem, Izumi
Aizu, Valeria Betancourt and Bertrand de La Chapelle.
Sincerely
Bertrand de La Chapelle
