[IGFmaglist] ICC BASIS PROPOSAL

[Peter Dengate Thrush]

Thanks Cheryl
Some thoughts in response;

I very much appreciate the effort you have put into developing explicit principles that should guide the choice of Intersessional work.

I wonder if this one is appropriate

(viii) Allows international, inter-governmental organizations to contribute substantively – ITU, UNESCO, WSIS process etc. 

in that it singles out a set of actors, with a possible implication of special treatment. Its in possible conflict with the very next point:

(ix) Facilitates frank and free participation of all relevant stakeholders who can and will contribute without any hindrance, in order to avoid a skewed discussion 

I am not sure (yet) that your chosen topic ( the menu of policies) is the best one to adopt, although your Annex helpfully shows how it maps to S 72.

To be clear - I am not opposed to it.  I look forward to a discussion about the choice of topic.

Thanks very much for doing - and sharing - this work.

regards



Peter
