Hi Rafik,

 

I’m definitely interested to see how IGF changes and I suspect I know the points in the document that you’re referring to.

 

I’ll reach out to the CSG Excomm about having a call on 7 May.

 

I’ll take the proposal to put forward Sam Lanfranco as the only candidate (that’s what you meant, correct?) back to the CSG Excom.  We haven’t previously discussed the possibility of only one candidate so I’m not in a position to share any input, unfortunately.  I don’t know Sam (and actually don’t believe I know of him).  Do you have his CV that you could share?

 

Many thanks!

 

Best,

Kristina

Hi Kristina,

 

thank you. Netmundial was a good experience to see how multistakeholderism can work effectively to produce outcome and how things cab improved for IGF process. not necessarily agreeing on several points in the document which are contentious for civil society in general. 

 

we can the call in 7th May (UTC) to have enough time to prepare for it and that wont interfere with INTA conference.

 

for NCSG, we had discussion on how to go forward for this phase ( for future election, we need to discuss about the process later) :  we would like to start the process and propose a compromise candidate for CSG and NCSG,to avoid this deadlock situation. this candidate would be Sam  Lanfranco.

 

any thought? can CSG share what other options you may suggest?

 

Best Regards,

 

Rafik

Hi Rafik,

 

I hope you had a safe trip.

 

What did you think about NetMundial - generally and the outcome?  I’d be very interested in your views.

 

Do you want to have the call this week or next week?   If next week, we’ll likely have to have it early in the week as we’re going to lose almost the entire IPC as folks start traveling to Hong Kong for the International Trademark Association Annual Meeting, which begins on the 10th and runs through the 15th.

 

Also, CSG Excomm had a short call to see if we could identify any options for moving forward that were on - or off - the table for further consideration.  The only one we were able to eliminate is changing the voting threshold of votes required to win the election.  We can’t reduce it to 7 (from 8) because the bylaws require a vote of 60%, which is 7.8 persons.

 

Has NCSG been able to identify any options that are on or off the table?

 

 

Sincerely yours,
Kristina
