[Chapter-delegates] ISOC Report on Plenipotentiary Conference week 2 & views on Internet issues

[Veni Markovski]

Bill,
it would be good to include in the Synopsis a note that says which 
exactly are these "Internet Organizations", who provide their 
perspectives. Currently, as there's no such note in the document, one 
may think that all RIRs are behind them, as well as (including, bu not 
limited to) the IETF, the W3C, and ICANN. You say in your email, it's 
the RIR at the ITU Plenipot, but does that mean all of them - ARIN, 
AFRNIC and APNIC, or only some of them?

Also, while the Synopsis seems good at first reading, a second reading 
throws some doubts on its objectivity. For example, there's no 
mentioning of the role of governments in the Internet-related public 
policy (except when you quote the title of one of the resolutions), 
which under the Tunis agenda, is a matter for governments to deal with, 
and as far as I remember, no Internet organization has claimed it's not 
the right thing to do for governments. See paragraph 29 and 35 
http://www.itu.int/wsis/docs2/tunis/off/6rev1.html

It is only now that I have the time to review in full length the 
document, and I am surprised to see that it rejects some of the basic 
principles of the WSIS documents, which were agreed in the first of its 
kind cooperation between governments, civil society, and business.

Would be good, if you open the document for consultations with the 
chapters, and the other relevant organizations, and put it in the 
perspective of the next four years. I'd be happy to engage from 
ISOC-Bulgaria personally.

best,
veni

I have also attached a document about the main issues related to Internet issues at the conference prepared on 15 October in cooperation with the RIRs in attendance.  I hope these are useful for you.  Feel free to use and distribute them as you see fit.
