style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times;mso-ansi-language:
EN-GB">Dear Barrack and all<br>
<br>
I agree with you on the multistakeholder issue. There seems to
be different
interpretations /understanding of multi-stakeholder policy
processes.<br>
<br>
A question that was consistently raised before WCIT by
stakeholders involved in
the process<br>
-“to what extend was stakeholder proposals and contributions
taken into
consideration when determining what position/proposals Kenya
would support? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times;mso-ansi-language:
EN-GB">The assumption was that Kenya's position would be
developed after
national multistakeholder consultations. And they were several
as you mention
below, the Kenya IGF, the East African IGF (day two was
dedicated to
discussing the ITRs), and the Kenya stakeholder consultations
organised by CCK.
These consultations developed and produced several viewpoints,
and the expectation
was that these views would have been taken into account when
developing
the national position or "agreeing" on what proposals Kenya
was to
support.<br>
<br>
This clearly did not happen. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Times;mso-ansi-language:

what multistakeholder
consultations mean and how we interpret constitutional

In addition to discussing and getting clarity on
multistakeholder policy
processes, I support Dr. Ndemo's call for further national
consultations to
discuss some of the new provisions that have altered the
nature of the ITRs. Some
of these include the unprecedented expansion of Human Rights
language in
the preamble of the treaty, which is inconsistent with
international human
rights standards and precedents particularly with the shift
from individual
human rights to collective state rights. Are the ITRs a good
place for creation
of what appears to be new human rights? National consultations
may consider
this question and also consult with our relevant legal/human
rights experts to
determine if this expansion of human rights is appropriate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<pre wrap="">Joly,
The WCIT issue was extensively discussed during the Kenya IGF which
brought together a number of stakeholders, Dr. Ndemo was present,
during the ATU meeting in Ghana a position other than what was
discussed during the stakeholders meeting was arrived at which the PS
did not agree with a position supported by stakeholders, CCK hosted
another stakeholder meeting before the WCIT meeting in Dubai, the
point is it appears stakeholders input during the Kenya and East
African IGF did not count a position the PS seems to side with as
suggested by the article, in any case ITU and ATU participated in the
Kenya IGF and East African IGF i think it would have been better for
CCK to come out clearly that it had its own position, IMHO this is a
mockery of the Multistakeholder Model, i stand to be corrected though.
Nonetheless post Dubai, this is water under the bridge :-(

I'm a little confused. You are suggesting CCK=stakeholder, and
Ndemo=technocrat, right? SUrely he is representing the wider stakeholders?
