Organization Building
------------------------------
There are so many good initiatives and organisational areas to develop I suggest we call for participants to volunteer for the following functions:

    * Membership Development - recruiting new participants especially governmental and private sector representatives
    * Public Relations & Media - facilitate reporting about our efforts
    * Technology
    * Blog Editor and Blog Author
    * Academic Relations & Research
    * Government Relations
    * Private Sector Relations

Please self nominate and ask your peers to commit to one of these roles till next years IGF.

- I would also suggest that each of the action lines below has one owner who is collaborating with a team of community member especially interested in the subject = Working groups. PLEASE nominate a colleague or volunteer for:


Action Line: Name change and merger with Frameworks and Principles coalition
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have talked to many people and many have expressed their opinion on the list and the vast majority have been favorable. One point of very high importance is that several governments expressed that _they can only become full active participants_ when we pursue the name change. I would say that this is a clear case of rough consenus plus an essiential strategic advantage. I suggest we put the name change and merger on the agenda of next weeks meeting.


Action Line: Rights as Main Theme for IGF 2009 and mid-term Conference on Internet Rights and Principles in Rome
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Italian Government has kindly offered to organize a conference in Rome where we can bring stakeholders and representatives from the dynamic coalitions together to prepare workshops and events around Internet Rights and Principles. To set the agenda for this mid-term conference, and to define milstones we want to reach by then seem to be logical next steps.

Action Line: Establish contact with United Nations Human Rights bodies and explore possibilities for cooperation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several coalition members suggested to reach out to the existing UN HR bodies (General Comments on the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights -- that is, the Human Rights Committee and the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.). We have the promise from the Secretariate to help us find and connect with the right people in these respective institution.

Actions Line: Explore collaboration with the Global Network Initiative
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As discussed there is a strong thematic congruence with the Global Network Initative and we will work to find a effective way to work with them. Our new community member Marco Pancini (Google Policy expert) and myself already agreed to work on this point.

Action Line: Collaboration with UNESCO
-------------------------------------------------------
An UNESCO representative proposed to work together to bring Internet Rigths and Principles on the agenda of the UNESCO.

Action Line: Framing of multi-stakeholder collaboration
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reacting to the needs expressed by the various stakeholders in our workshop i propose that we work to organize/frame the collaboration between stakeholders more effectively. Namely i suggest we setup one communication channel for governmental represenative only and one for private sector representatives only. This will allow us to ask for their input on specific questions and documents. The conditions under which esp. gov. and private sector representitives participate should be made very explicit. In this effort we should seek  to work with the Internet Governance Caucus, the other DCs and the sectariate.
