[WSIS CS-Plenary] www.worldsummit2005.org on WGIG meeting in Geneva

Hi Ralf,

Thanks for the inside view. You mentioned progress taking place. Perhaps you could outline some specifics.

What may be helpful for this meeting as well as others would be an update or summary of itemized areas of progress and specific areas where progress needs to take place. These could also possibly be keyed to declaration/document bench marks While there have been previous reports that have mentioned some of this, I am thinking of a much more formal type of template, which would make it easier to track large quantities of information/changes in many content/process areas.

If such a summary (brief) template could be published for each important meeting, it would be very useful to keep all CS members current on a wide range of issues, especially those which they may not typically be following.

Just a suggestion.

Hi all,

I could not really get info from inside the WGIG (the promised blogging
and reporting-back of the CS members of WGIG is not really working), but I
have dug through the detailed transcripts of the open consultations on
Monday. Here is my take on it. Comments are welcome, as always.

Best, Ralf

Internet Governance Debate Moving to Next Stage
WGIG has started to discuss recommendations

20 April 2005. The Working Group on Internet Governance has had its third
meeting on the last three days in Geneva. The discussion is now moving
from mapping the internet governance landscape of institutions and
stakeholders towards assessments and recommendations. Mondays session was
conducted as an open consultation, yesterday and today the group was
meeting in private. Expectedly, a few conflicts surfaced again, which
mainly circled around the role of different stakeholders, the question of
a new organisational framework, and the Multilateralization of the core
Internet resources. But progress can be observed. More...
