It's a long time since WSIS (2005), and there has even been a Working Group on enhance Cooperation (WGEC) setup in 2013. Article 69-71 of the Tunis Agenda talks about enhanced cooperation. http://www.itu.int/wsis/docs2/tunis/off/6rev1.html 69. We further recognize the need for enhanced cooperation in the future, to enable governments, on an equal footing, to carry out their roles and responsibilities, in international public policy issues pertaining to the Internet, but not in the day-to-day technical and operational matters, that do not impact on international public policy issues. 70. Using relevant international organizations, such cooperation should include the development of globally-applicable principles on public policy issues associated with the coordination and management of critical Internet resources. In this regard, we call upon the organizations responsible for essential tasks associated with the Internet to contribute to creating an environment that facilitates this development of public policy principles. 71. The process towards enhanced cooperation, to be started by the UN Secretary-General, involving all relevant organizations by the end of the first quarter of 2006, will involve all stakeholders in their respective roles, will proceed as quickly as possible consistent with legal process, and will be responsive to innovation. Relevant organizations should commence a process towards enhanced cooperation involving all stakeholders, proceeding as quickly as possible and responsive to innovation. The same relevant organizations shall be requested to provide annual performance reports.

Fwd: Diplo needs your help...
by Barrack Otieno 13 May '14

13 May '14

Hi Colleagues and Friends of Diplo, This is a call to action, please respond. Best Regards ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stephanie Borg Psaila <stephaniep(a)diplomacy.edu> Date: Fri, 9 May 2014 11:42:20 +0200 Subject: Diplo needs your help... To: igcbp(a)diplomacy.edu Dear friends, Since funding for deserving students to attend courses has become very difficult, we are trying new possibilities. Please read about it below, and help us if you can. Donations and passing this information to others both count as helping... Diplo has launched its first crowdfunding attempt, through the Pozible platform: http://www.pozible.com/project/180875. We are starting with a very modest goal: to raise funds for several scholarships for our summer courses; we hope this will develop into a substantial fund which we can use in different ways to support the participation of people from small and developing states in our courses. We have also established a page on our website to support this fund: http://www.diplomacy.edu/aboutus/support/fund. The idea of crowdfunding is to collect a large number of small (or medium-sized) donations. To do this, we need to reach as wide as possible an audience with the invitation to contribute and to share. Please share the announcement or the link above; if you know anyone who might like to contribute with a small or even not-so-small donation, please invite them to do so. Your help is much appreciated! Best, Stephanie* <http://www.diplointernetgovernance.org>** <http://www.diplomacy.edu/courses>* Is this email not displaying correctly? View this email in your browser<http://us5.campaign-archive1.com/?u=89e7299f9fe54eed66d45cf3d&id=b174fff29d…> Dear Alumni, We are starting a crowdfunding campaign to establish a scholarship fund for small and developing states. The idea with crowdfunding is to collect small donations from multiple sources. We are starting with a modest goal, but hope to eventually establish a substantial rolling fund to assist many people over the long term. You know the value of our work in helping to strengthen the voices of small and developing states at international conferences and negotiations, and enable them to better represent national needs and interests. We want to build this fund because we know the impact of scholarships for many people who couldn’t otherwise participate in Diplo’s programmes. Yet the financial resources available to provide this support are reducing, as donor priorities change. *How can you help? * - Have you benefited from our courses and would you like to help others do the same? Please consider making a donation. Donations do not have to be large - 10 euros will make a difference. - Do you know other people who share our vision and have the financial means to help, with a larger donation? Please let them know about our campaign and about how studying with Diplo made a difference for you. - Help us share the news about our campaign widely. You can share it on Facebook or Twitter, and through any networks you are part of. For more information or to make a donation please visit our fundraising campaign page at http://www.pozible.com/project/180875<http://diplomacy.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=89e7299f9fe54eed66d45cf3…> Thank you for your participation!

ITU signs IPv6 Coperation with AFRINIC
by Walubengo J 13 May '14

13 May '14

----start-- The International Telecommunication Union today signed a letter of intent with the African Network Information Centre (www.AFRINIC.net) on the promotion of IPv6. The letter of intent seeks to establish a high-level framework of cooperation to carry out a number of activities to improve the implementation of IPv6, through the provision of technical assistance to African countries. read more @ http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-D/bdt-director/Pages/News.aspx?ItemID=60 ---cut-- Now that the big boys at ITU, Geneva have finally seen the light and are working with/through AfriNIC, I hope our local boys (unfortunately, I never see the girls at CCK-top-level :-) will finally receive and pick the signal sooner rather than later. I have always argued that to break into the Internet governance system, you got to do it from within the existing frameworks. walu.

https://www.accessnow.org/blog/2014/05/09/spotlight-on-african-contribution… *"Generally, the final NetMundial statement is in line with the priorities expressed in the African submissions in acknowledging the universality of human rights and taking into consideration internet governance priorities from developing countries’ perspectives. For example, the NetMundial outcome document recognizes that the internet is a global resource, which should be managed in the public interest."* Best Regards, *Ephraim Percy Kenyanito*
