The Executive Multistakeholder Committee (EMC) has confirmed
dates for the two-day meeting to enable them set the agenda for the forthcoming
coming NETmundial in Brazil, reports ITRealms.
The EMC affirmed this to ITRealms
at the weekend in an official press statement, saying its face-to-face meetings
would hold between March 31 and April 1, stressing the focus is to set
NETmundial agenda and propose an initial draft for upcoming discussions.
ITRealms also gathered
that the outcomes of the EMC meeting would be submitted to the High-level
Multistakeholder Committee and, consecutively, to public consultation in the
first half of April.
While commending the level of commitment shown in the open call
for contributions to NETmundial, EMC told ITRealms they appreciated all organizations and individual authors from different
sectors, countries and community groups for their submissions.
They equally confessed to ITRealms that it was an unexpectedly large number of submissions and given the
short timeframe available for the EMC to digest recommendations to frame an
agenda, the Committee is using a number of different approaches to review
individual submissions and also to synthesize the input.
Just as the EMC explained that the Secretariat’s summary will not be a
reflection of EMC position, but one of the tools that the Committee will
utilize for its debates on how the agenda will be framed, along with other
types of summaries and analysis, kindly submitted by different volunteers.
“We look
forward to agreeing in final agenda and making it public, fostering the
multistakeholder discussion that NETMundial proposes,” EMC official
said.
