Re: [hr-wsis] Nominations to the WGIG (was Re: Nomination - Gregory J. Walters)

I believe that we should also leave the door open for those with suitable credentials, that for one reason or another could not or did not participate in phase one.

on my particular recommendation - Gregory Walters..

Bill, as you are in Ottawa now as well - would you be willing to meet with Greg Walters? I could arrange a meeting. Perhaps after chatting with him you could tell us if he's a suitable candidate.

regards

Robert

All,

I share other's concerns about nominating people who
have not been working within or close to the process.

Ideally we should have people who are cognizant of
the positions we have worked on, as well as the outstanding issues
on IG.  There should be a continuity.

There are caucus members who are qualified in this context and should be considered
by us. I haven't consulted any of them, but here is my list
in alphabetical order only:

Diana Bronson
Rikke Frank Joergensen
Rainer Kuhlen
Meryem Marzouki


Further, I think the HR caucus should consider supporting people from
some of the other WSIS caucuses in terms of addressing the regional
diversity issue. One in particular would be:

Carlos Alfonso


Thoughts?

Subject: Re: Call for Nominations: Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG)


Dear Mr. Guerra,

Thank you for this information regarding the WGIG. Did we not meet
earlier at a Dept. of Justice Consultation on Genetic Information (?). I
am Professor of Ethics at Saint Paul University in Ottawa. This work
interests me both because of the subject matter, as well as the
international public policy implications involved.

Not too long ago I published a book, *Human Rights in an Information Age*
(University of Toronto Press, 2001), which is a study of Canadian and
global information highway policies during the decade of the 1990s; more
specifically, I address three key ethical policy issues: the impact of IT
on jobs and employment, privacy and security, and, at a time when nobody
really knew what the term meant, information warfare.

I have been working since that time more closely with the ethical,
legal and social issues
that arise with the genomics revolution, especially, genetic
discrimination, the problem of reductionism and essentialism, and, most
recently, reconsidering the entire question concerning the
distinguishability or not of genetic information from other types of
personal information, especially, non-genetic based health information.

I would be honoured to let my name stand as a possible nomination from the
NPC-list caucus. I think Val Steeves would also make an excellent
nomination (I have not told her this because I would like to see her
finish her Ph.D. thesis, rather than take on more responsibilities (I am
also a member of her doctoral committee at Carleton University).

At any rate, I will read through the links that you sent to members of the
NPC-List. Would it be helpful if I sent you and Mr. Bendrath a copy of my
CV? Please advise me, since I would be open to your kind
suggestions/recommendations in this regard. I could also ask Val Steeves
or Ken Anderson to nominate me if you think this would be more in keeping
with protocol (?).

Thank you, again, for your kind assistance.
