Objet: [ISOC-members-announce] New Policy Program:
ISOC WSIS Ambassador Progra
New Policy Program: ISOC WSIS Ambassador Program
ISOC's public policy activities support our mission
by upholding
and defending our core values in local, national,
and international
public policy forums, where decisions that affect
the ability of
people throughout the world to enjoy the benefits of
the Internet
are made.
One of the major international forums in which ISOC
is currently
active is the World Summit on the Information
Society (WSIS).
ISOC has participated at all stages of WSIS, and has
succeeded
in building up significant respect and recognition
for our position
in support of an open and accessible Internet. Much
of this has
been achieved through cooperation with our members
and partner
organizations from across the world.
ISOC is now looking to further strengthen our policy
efforts, by
more deeply involving members in them. And, at the
same
time further increase our coverage in the WSIS
process by
inviting a number of regional ISOC members to
participate
in the WSIS forums as ISOC WSIS Ambassadors. The
ISOC
WSIS Ambassador will bring home first-hand
experience
of the WSIS processes to their country or region and
will
be expected to continue to drive local ISOC
activities in the
context of WSIS. The role of an ISOC WSIS Ambassador
is to explain and promote ISOC's positions on
various public
policy issues that are directly related to the
themes of WSIS.
He or she would be expected to reinforce ISOC's
messages
by adding their significant local and regional
experience and
insight to discussions and interventions during the
various
WSIS events.
To ensure the project is manageable, a small number
of
individuals (5 to 10) from the worldwide membership
will be
selected to act as ISOC WSIS Ambassadors.
Prerequisites
for candidates include a strong interest in issues
on the WSIS
agenda including some familiarity with the debate
around Internet
Governance and the work of the WGIG. Candidates must
be
motivated to help further ISOC's mission through
extensive
outreach efforts at home as well as in the PrepCom
and WSIS
Summit.
A further major requirement is that those selected
MUST be
available to come to the WSIS PrepCom 3 in Geneva,
Switzerland
and/or phase 2 of WSIS in Tunis. Those coming to
Geneva will
be expected to be available for the period September
16 to 24
(the first week of the PrepCom as well as two days
prior to the
PrepCom for introductory and briefing sessions on
WSIS/PrepCom
and on ISOC's positions). Dates for attendance
during phase 2
of WSIS are November 14 to 18. ISOC WSIS Ambassadors
will be selected by senior ISOC staff responsible
for public
policy and will receive financial support for their
travel and
accommodation during these two periods.
This is an excellent opportunity to interact with
Internet
stakeholders at all levels while gaining first hand
experience
of a major multinational, multilateral forum.
We encourage all Chapters and Members to reach out
to
(other) members in order to identify the most
suitable candidates.
Nominations and applications must be sent via the
form available
at:
http://www.isoc.org/isoc/conferences/wsis/ambassadorapp.php
(or via email to wsisambassador(a)isoc.org) as soon as
possible -
and no later than Wednesday August 24th, paying
particular
attention to the various prerequisites mentioned
above.
Applications will be reviewed as soon as they are
received,
so early submissions are encouraged. The selection
process
will be completed by Monday August 29th and the ISOC
WSIS Ambassadors will be announced shortly
afterwards.
We look forward to a successful launch and to seeing
you
at WSIS PrepCom 3.
Lynn St. Amour, Mike Nelson, Mirjam Kuehne and Peter
Godwin

Le vin est une des boissons la plus complexe. Il contient entre 8 et
14% d'alcool, plusieurs acides minéraux et organiques, du glycérol, du
sucre, des polyphénols, de nombreux composés aromatiques, des acides
aminés, des sels, des oligo-éléments en proportions très variées mais
toujours réduites. Le plus important composant du vin est l'eau pour
85 à 90% de son volume. Dans tout amateur de vin il y a donc un buveur
d'eau qui s'ignore !
