[registrars] FW: Template for CANN Constituency/Stakeholder Input on WSIS

["Elana Broitman" <ebroitman@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

PLEASE THE MEMO BELOW.

THIS IS A REQUEST TO EACH OF THE CONSTITUENCIES AND OTHER ICANN
STAKEHOLDER GROUPS TO EXPLAIN ITS UNIQUE ROLE WITHIN ICANN AND THE
ISSUES IT IS INTERESTED UNDER ICANN'S GOVERNANCE.  IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS
AS EFFICIENT AS POSSIBLE, I PROPOSE TO WRITE A FIRST DRAFT OF THE
ANSWERS AND SEND THAT TO THE RC FOR COMMENT. THIS IS NOT A FORMAL
POSITION, SO CONSENSUS CAN BE REACHED WITHOUT REQUIRING A BOARDROOMS
VOTE (ESPECIALLY SINCE THE SWISS GROUP WOULD LIKE TO SEE OUR RESPONSE IN
THE NEXT WEEK).

SUBJECT:	Template for CANN Constituency/Stakeholder Input on WSIS

At the WSIS Workshop in Kuala Lumpur
(<http://www.icann.org/meetings/kualalumpur/icann-wsis-workshop-01jul04.
htm>
), ICANN constituencies/stakeholder groups were invited to complete the
template included below and return it to the WSIS Workshop Planning
Group*. The Planning Group would greatly appreciate receiving a
completed template from your group by 13 August 2004. Please email it to
WSISWPG@xxxxxxxxx.

As discussed at the WSIS (World Summit on the Information Society)
Workshop in Kuala Lumpur, the template is being used to gather input
from the ICANN community.  It is an initial step towards developing a
bottom-up consensus to guide positions on Internet Governance, and to
strengthen ICANN stakeholder awareness of WSIS and WSIS participants'
understanding of ICANN. Submissions will be used to develop a statement
with key themes about ICANN and Internet Governance, which can be used
as input and guidance for the ICANN community and as a resource in
working with other entities via the WSIS process.  The statement will be
circulated for endorsement and consideration by ICANN Supporting
Organizations and Advisory Committees (as
appropriate) and will be presented at the next WSIS Workshop at the Cape
town ICANN meeting in December 2004.

Thank you for your help with this effort.  Please contact us if you have
any questions or need additional information.
