WSIS CONTEXT
From March 2005
PREPCOM3 of the TUNIS Phase
( Geneva, 19-30 September 2005 )
WGIG third meeting :
Working Papers (Geneva, 18-20 April 2005).
Awareness about the need of legal frameworks for Internet Governance is slowly emerging at
the WGIG. Again, and as already discussed informally at the
ICANN
( Cape Town, 1-5 December 2004 ) the need for a sound international legal status for
ICANN is underlined.
In the paper related to
Towards a Common Understanding of the Roles and Responsibilities of all Stakeholders in Internet Governance ,
it is interesting to read :
The scope for full participation by different stakeholder groups in the decision-making processes of intergovernmental organizations generally varies according to the nature of the governance mechanism. As pointed out above, the scope for involvement by non-governmental actors tends to greatest at the "soft" end of the governance scale, where "Private Public Partnerships (PPPs)" and other multistakeholder initiatives have emerged as new governance models. In contrast, it tends most restricted at the "hard" end of the scale, particularly in areas where enforceable international laws that provide significant sanctions are being created.
WGIG India comments :
Excerpts :
Based on the understanding of the issues as discussed
above, we are of the opinion that internet should be governed by an
inter-governmental, multilateral, multi-stakeholder international body
Late April 2005:
Two new alternative multi-stakeholder financing mechanisms have been proposed
by Dr. Muguet to the various concerned Civil Society Working Groups :
Finance WG,
Patents & Copyrights WG and
Scientific Infomartion WG .
- Companies, Institutions, Administrations may choose to voluntarily donate 10% of
the savings they are making by their own estimate through the use
of Free and Open Source Software ( FOSS ). The collected volontary
donations shall be used to fund Free Software projects in the interest of bridging the
Digital Divide or supporting Sustainable Development.
- Companies, Institutions (Universities, Research & Funding agencies, Libraries),
Administrations may choose to voluntarily donate 10% of
the savings they are making by their own estimate as a consequence of
the availability of free Scientific ( including Humanities ) and Technical Information
through Open Access initiatives. The collected volontary
donations shall be used to fund Open Access projects in the interest of bridging the
Digital Divide or supporting Sustainable Development.
Donors Companies, Institutions, Administrations shall receive the right to proudly display
their positions as "WSIS Partners to Bridge the Digital Divide" or any other
mention whose exact wordings shall be determined by the WSIS.
The details of those two schemes needs to be worked upon.
The Digital Solidarity Fund
has shown a strong interest in implementing those mechanisms through specific
Receiving Offices and Grant Committees within the Fund.
It is reasonnable to hope that a recommendation concerning those two schemes
can be ready to presented in September before the
PrepCom3.
