MIND: Internet Policy Making publication - your electronic copy and event invitation
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond Sept. 22, 2011

Sept. 22, 2011

Dear all, please find enclosed, a copy of the publication called MIND #2 Internet Policy Making, to which several ICANN participants have contributed and which focuses on the Multi-Stakeholder model. Professor Kleinwächter is the Editor and runs an ALS in Europe. Attached is an electronic PDF version for your personal use (feel free to forward). The main discussion paper was drafted by the ICANN Board's Bertrand de la Chapelle. All comments and input are reflected as personal comments and do not advocate official statements. My piece reflects some of the challenges I have noticed in Chairing At-Large. Other articles are very interesting, and from such a distinguished set of contributors! A special issue of the publication is being distributed at IGF Nairobi to all participants. As some of you will attend the conference, please be aware of a *luncheon* on day one (Sept 27) during lunch break (12.45 to 13.15 o'clock), organized by Prof. Kleinwächter, to announce the publication. It would be great if you could attend this meet-and-greet. The room has yet to be announced, it is tentatively scheduled for *Room 10*. Warmest regards, Olivier ps. in my bio, I have never claimed to "represent" the community of individual Internet users and their interests in the policy development work of ICANN. I've alerted the editor that I may act according to the interests of Internet users but cannot "represent" them.
