[Chapter-delegates] A chapter consortium for a UNESCO Internet governance project?

Mon Sep 15 12:36:52 PDT 2014

People,

I apologize for huge delay in this matter - studying a possible consortium
among chapter delegates to make a proposal in UNESCO's RFP on Internet
governance.

We would need to put together a proposal in zero time now - the deadline is
awfully close. We have four days.

My proposed action right now is to evaluate if we still can make it. I need
the CVs of all who will actually take part and a mention of what function
you would undertake in the project (policy analysis, information gathering,
report drafting, project management, etc.; costs associated with your
participation; and a declaration of interest that allows to decide whether
there is any conflict with ISOC, your Chapter, or other that would need to
be considered.)

ISOC staff has kindly provided a mailing list which I will populate with
those willing to participate. I recognize that this is very late stage -
travel and its consequences took a toll - and that in the next 48 hours we
could also have to declare a no-go.

Apologies again and also THANKS to those who have volunteered.

Alejandro Pisanty
