Yes































8/24/2013 9:44:50 Chris Williams xx POAD9998 G20Civil between 6 and 10 between 2 and 5 None None All participation so far has been in Extended mode, because of:
- remoteness/time differences in Australia
- working with others to improve links with Asia (eg Yoshihide, MaryAnn Manahan)		 R2- I am an active WSF process participant, trying to get for my organizations or movements what WSF process “PROMISES” : contacts, connections, convergences, visibility of issues we work on, R6- I am also interested to CONTRIBUTE TO IMPULSION: expansion and deepening of this WSF process at large, spreading practice of organizing social forum events and quality activities in them, and make it happen for others at home and abroad I distributed the WSF Charter of Principles at a gathering of 'Civil Society of the G20' summit in Moscow in June 2013 and was enthused by the response. The Russian hosts immediately saw the need, either to subscribe to WSF Principles, or to develop a similar charter (?)

Whilst there will be opportunities for WSF events in Australia (as host country for the G20) during 2014 because of the gathering of civil society groups, it remains unclear whether these groups see themselves as 'inside/outside the tent'.		 U2-WSF process is for me a broad innovative process with a UNIQUE POTENTIAL of inclusivity, to face challenges of humanity, it is very useful to connect visions struggles alternatives and it needs to go forward and develop, despite current limitations, Q1-Average QUALITY OF ACTIVITIES self organized inside WSF open spaces created in social forum events, along with their preparation and follow up, are reflecting the level of understanding and ownership of WSF “tool” by organizations and persons, and there are probably many ways to improve it, Q4-CONVERGENCE PROCESS inside open spaces, which is a main expectation for many WSF participants cannot be forced and it can be hindered or accelerated by their facilitators promoters, according to the practices they develop, O2-WSF process essentially relies on initiative of small groups willing to organize certain open space events, and the other wider groups are using that open space, between organizers and consumers of forums this GAP IS WIDE AND UNAVOIDABLE, O3-WSF process a give and take process, where you give facilitation time and participation time an d you get contacts and convergences with others on issues that matter to you. NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE GIVE FACILITATION TIME and that may be why there is less to take than expected, O4-The capacity to start INCLUSIVE BUILD UP PROCESS when organizing events is key to quality and ownership of participants, D2-WSF process spreads like a wave and AFTER THE WAVE there is generally not a strong willingness/ability to organize regular attractive events and this needs to be further commented ( example continue in brazil – continue in Europe - continue in india ), D3-WSF process was started in 2001 and its current form is NOT SO ADAPTED to the present context but can be adapted, I1-This WSF process needs to be CENTRALLY IMPULSED, using principles and values that are promoted in the social forum open space: horizontality – inclusiveness,- shared ownership – co responsibility –volunteer contributions etc – that is what IC has tried to do for more than 10 years now, with mixed results Impulsion of WSF process answer (I1) sits uncomfortably, but resulted from considerable reflexion.

I3 was a temptation, but the risks from accelerating technologies and single-issue groups could derail WSF IC from a longer-term, broad, political agenda. Others may see these risks as manageable, and I could be swayed		 R2-Develop quality and inclusive ACTIVITIES in next social forum events that can be inspiring examples, where organisations can be present directly or through extended participation, R3-Facilitate a CONVERGENCE process/space/assembly in a topic that my organization is active on without “leading”, R7-PRESENT WSF in places where it is not developed, R8-Contribute in WORKING GROUPS proposed by attractive “friends of WSF process “ impulsion group I thank Annette for stimulating the Asian dialogue. Over the longer term, I remain committed to developing equal air-time across a broader range of Asian countries including (but not limited to) Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Cambodia where I have current contacts. I think Yoshihide (Japan) shares a similar outlook. 0% 20% of time - 2% of budget - income 10% of time - 1% of budget - income 0% 0%
G2 -This list of task EXPRESS REASONABLY WELL THINGS TO BE DONE and each group of “friends of WSF process” can make its own list, G3 – Current absence of “reference document” explaining how IC works and what are its tasks IS NOT A PROBLEM, G6 - I have a RATHER CLEAR VISION about if and how IC is implementing those tasks, L5- OTHER ANSWER, I1- As a first and central “WSF impulsion group” IC HAS ALSO TO FOCUS on development and promotion of “good practices” and inspiring contributions by its members. It is an attainable way to be more useful to the process and to develop collective legitimacy., E1 - In order to enhance participation and ownership in WSF process, IC HAS ALSO TO BE defining and impulsing implementation of some general policies ( for instance on communicating WSF). It is an attainable way to be more useful to the process and to develop collective legitimacy. For Legitimacy. I am prevented from answering L1+L4 because:

- political unity (L1) is a comfortable place for IC, but 'political cohesion' or 'politically-focussed' may still be permissable. Beyond 'Another World is Possible' lies the implementation phase where some opportunism and pragmatism may be called for, but resisted by those who are 'politically united'.

- Contributive IC (L4) but selectively so. I doubt Rita or Chico would 'stay with general discussion'. They are contributive and models for others. They ought not be cajoled into 'implementation of policies' per se. I applaud Rita for continuing to drive alternative/independent media through ties with Ciranda.		 No R2-IC to publish regularly a DOCUMENT ON JOINT COLLABORATIVE STRATEGY OF IC MEMBERS TO DEVELOP WSF PROCESS, including visions of contexts in which “WSF common tool” is used, and their impact on the form of the WSF process, R5-IC to REVIEW CURRENT MEMBERSHIP COMPOSITION of organization, based on effective contribution and presence, O1-IC to organize its own operation in a SELF-SUSTAINABLE way,-minimally depending on exterior funding, (eg. funding by members, support staff by members) and to describe the mechanism for funding and finding support staff, O4-IC to explicit HOW IC MEETINGS WILL BE EXTENDED i-e made available on internet for members participation and non members information,, C4-IC to explicit guidelines based on good and bad experience on how IC and WSF event organizing committee will ORGANIZE TO JOINTLY PREPARE WSF EVENT, C6-IC to ASSESS REGULARLY ITS ACTION how is it inclusive and inspiring to non members, C7-IC to DESCRIBE ITS WEBSITE(S) AND MAILING LIST POLICIES and how they are implemented, C8-IC to update a DIRECTORY OF “SERVICE INITIATIVE IN WSF PROCESS” (example WSF calendar and OE group) and how each is organized/sustained by contributive groups
R2 -they are a MIX OF REPRESENTATIVES AND INDEPENDENTS, R4-they are a LIMITED NUMBER, in order to have workable meetings, R6-they find a sustainable way to share the responsibility and contribute to IC operation and NOT DELEGATE CRITICAL TASKS TO A PERMANENT SMALLER LEADING GROUP, and this can set example for organizing committees and other facilitating groups, R7-they inspire and stimulate other WSF participants by the CONTRIBUTIONS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE ORGANIZATIONS to WSF process including ones not aligned to their direct interests, this can show good practices
N5 - I could be participating in IC IF EXTENSION OF IC MEETING IS DEVELOPED the focus on face to face meetings in IC is questionable and much more focus should be put on on line interaction between members, N6 - Am more interested to CREATE/PARTICIPATE IN OTHER “GROUPS OF FRIENDS OF WSF” in our own way
























R3-(RECOMENDED FOR IC MEMBERS, AND THOSE INTERESTED BY WSF IMPULSION GROUPS) - I am willing to explore further my vision of IC and spend around 45 minutes for “WSF & IC EXPLORATION 2”, with 15 questions about IC – scope – membership-organization - meetings- http://openfsm.net/projects/cifutur/cifuturg2-form-input1-invitationg2 . I understand that there are some change proposals reflected in the answers proposed in the survey , and this is for breeding discussion. SI I can very well criticize these answers, or make alternative proposals
