[UgaBYTES] Possibility for creating a Dynamic Coallition on ICANN Accountability and International Conformity - IAIC

[Fouad Bajwa]

For friends following the UN Internet Governance Forum IGF,

As per the proceedings of the EuroDIG.org plenary no 3 on The Post-JPA
Phase: towards a future Internet Governance Model, there has been
discussion amongst the European Governments and participants about the
role of ICANN and more accountability of it in terms of Internet
Governance Forum. There has a need been identified for creation of a
"Dynamic Coallition on ICANN Accountability and International
Conformity - IAIC" (though proposed in its structure here more
sensibly) at the IGF in order to deal with the ICANN related issues
more strategically, tactically with a multistakeholder participation
within the light of the Tunis Agenda or if not within this context but
then realizing that  although ICANNs constitutional documents and
by-laws require it to co-operate with relevant international
organisations and to carry out its activities in conformity with
relevant principles of international law and applicable international
conventions and local law, there are no related formal accountability
arrangements and this can be the first step to create this process.

IGF process needs to be kept separate but interconnected with ICANN
(though this comment is still very vague). Your suggestions on this
proposal would be really useful if you take interest in the Africa IGF
and the International IGF and I am circulating this to other IG
related lists for input and participation.
