Nominations for NetMundial Coordination Council Open Until 15 December

[João Carlos Rebello Caribé]

Bill,

This sounds very well, the reasons to postulate or not for NMI's CC was motivated by the concerns about the uncertainty about their future, also in the IG police making context, at least this was my motivation, to stay inside and work on the direction of our agenda. You made this advance before being elected, just imagine what can do in the council, I hope to work with you and Wolf in this new challenge.

I really missed this important Q&A webcasting, and was full, about 40 attendees, I'm still watching but every minute I see this was very productive.

Let's move forward, count me in.

Regards
Joao Carlos

I pressed Fadi pretty hard to publicly agree to what Rick from WEF been saying all over for a half year, i.e. that the main purpose is to be a project facilitation platform rather than a mechanism for proposing governance norms/policies, which would be inappropriate, and the fear of which has generated negative reactions.  I also suggested that the “solutions” language on the website should be reworked to make clear to make this clear and delete references to policy and regulatory recommendations as possible outputs, and he said they would.  Virgilio agreed as well.

I did not seek any ‘endorsements’ given that there are 3 GigaNet (academic) candidates and civil society seems so divided, including here.  Hopefully that doesn’t work against me but whatever.

In consequence, I’ve just been contacted by the CGI.br person who is staffing the initiative asking for input on a revised text, hopefully that will be posted soonish.

In a similar vein is the CGI.br project on Best Practices for Local Multistakeholder IG Structures https://www.netmundial.org/best-practices-local-multistakeholder-ig-structures.  Both these activities were briefly alluded to in the Ilves report and the NETmundial statement.

>>> So far, there are not many nominations to the Coordination Council from civil society - for a lot of different reasons including dissatisfaction with some of the organizers' handling of the initiative to date.  And there is skepticism of NMI's utility and its sustainability beyond Fadi's march to Davos early next year, but if anyone wants to spend their time trying to make the best of it, here's your chance.
