Subject: [ccnso-council] COUNCIL DECISION NEEDED 26 FEBRUARY 2014: Formation Ad-Hoc Group Internet Governance

 

Dear all,

One of the agenda items on the agenda of the council call 20 February was the formation of the Ad Hoc Study Group Internet Governance (agenda item 3.4) . As the cCouncil was not quorate, you ar enow kindly requested to vote per email. 

 

Background

At its meeting in Buenos Aires (20 November 2013), the ccNSO Council discussed the need to keep track of the developments in the various Internet Governance tracks such as the IStar group, 1Net, the Brazil conference on Internet Governance and ICANN’s Strategy Panels.  Volunteers related to ccTLDs and ccTLD regional Organizations offered to keep track of the developments, and inform the ccNSO on a regular basis. In order to structure the efforts of these volunteers and keep the ccNSO membership and the broader ccTLD community abreast of the developments it is suggested to create an Ad-Hoc Group on “Internet Governance”, which will initially include the volunteers already active. The volunteers have been informed and no disagreement been noted. A draft Statement of Purpose for the group has been circulated on the ccNSO Council email list.

 

Proposed Resolution

The ccNSO Council:

  1. Adopts the proposed statement on purpose and scope of activities “Internet Governance” study group. 
  2. Appoints its chair Byron Holland ( .ca) as the chair of the group, and request the chair to ask the volunteers, who already keep track of the developments to participate as volunteer of this group.
  3. Requests the secretariat to set-up a webpage on the ccNSO web-site with purpose to disseminate relevant information to the ccNSO membership and ccTLD community at-large

Please email to the list before 26 February, in particular if you do not support the resolution or abstain from voting.

Thank you and kind regards,

Bart
