0 – comcom role and action related issues

A - relation with IC and requests

Jason – facilitar o informar ¿ no esta resuelto
- nuestra debilidad – que no podemos transmeter un mensaje – pero punto de fuerza de hacer comunicación – crear una red – que trabaja por si misma
- necesidad de una fuerte politica

(@ propuesta de nutrir discussiones en la lista general sobre esto


@ E/ In the next IC – have a space to debate on communication – as a political tool - Communication debate in Belém


@/ that media do not pay to enter in Belém space

B - Budget group ( to be created )

(@ information dia 24 – no hay dinero only 35% of this money has been raised - LG will make cuts by 30% on process budget – michael Guerrero)

Three months before Belém no funds for the process


Antonio P – imad said that novib is the only donor and they want to have another one

There are no funds to support website beyond December so far


Towards financial autonomy

it is to be noted that a structured action plan was drafted inside the communication commission before the funding came, and this allowed convincing communication inside the process about the ability and willingness of the commission to work effectively

having an autonomous budget made it was easier to structure and fine tune the implementation of the action plan work in various decentralized groups

at the same time this autonomy allowed to be pragmatic and flexible in allocating funds to concrete tasks appearing very meaningful although they had not been foreseen in a first moment( such as assembling a global report)

now the commission has applied for process funding for its core action and is also considering creative schemes to expand its action and make it sustainable


see working group on wsf training

C - movilize for communication (Main list and com respondents working group 2-B )

Rita - Para que el consejo internacional utilisa como parte de metodología organisa - movilisar para que cada grupo , cada actividad faça su communicacion – e no simplemente comunicar para movilisar

D/ communicating about IC inviting All the activities in WSF to include an action of communication before or after Belém, and we as commission will support this
(@ver reporte en el ci punto D

Virtuous circle between mobilization and communication : mobilize for communication then communicate for wider mobilisation
Connect the voices and proposals coming from the basis
No way to change event into the process without accompaniment in communication

D – “transcom” relation with other continental – new working group towards cooperating on com issues with other processes

Uddhab – there are many processes to care for not only Belém – hindi speaking belt 3 forum
How can communication commission can help local processes ?
How to transfer experience and upload to get a space past a nepali article in a website

@ we have created a space for sharing experiences between fse fsa fsm in Spanish – could be a similar space in English between esf fsa asia WSF )

action site GDA 2010 - webteam
Antonio P– action site- everybody can open their website – we spend a lot of time and developed too many features

(@ action site will be worked upon in the frame of GDA2010 preparation group and webteam)

B - Report Group – make an assessment of GDA 2008

Martina – reports we had exceptional material – takes a lot of time to understand the links on the same action - do the analysis – a lot of content can come out of this –

Pierre –estoy insistiendo que mientras no hay personas que vienen en el nucleo de trabajo “ red de periodistas” y hagan cosas concretas sobre la red de periodistas por ejemplo nos quedamos hablando

@ Trabajo en los grupos hacia la prensa no estan desarrollado quien quiere iniciar esto con monica¿

Antonio M – esta cosa de heroismo deve pasar a miliones de personas – estamos aqui para planificar, y vienen gente asalariada para hacer el trabajo

Pierre – No concordo con esta vision separando los que piensan y los que hacen Necesitamos de todo : gente involucrada con trayectora en el proceso y capaz de trasmitir vision e explorar concretamente ideas, gente que solo planifica, e gente que esta asalariada
Sino entramos en burocracia y problemas relacion con midias alternativa

Que la asamblea del CI sostenga esta politica necesitamos trabajo continuo - definir los limites de este grupo - demande que el CI ¿

un grupo que invlucrar personas que focalizado con los mas media

Quienes son los grupos que tienen demanda de video – el 26 08 muchos de los grupo involucrado en el foro hacen cosas no tienen ganas de ver lo que exista por otra parte –
Seria necesario que desde antemanos – se haga comunicación con los que tiene receptividad - que quieren y quisieran hacer ¿

Andrea- Segregate our audience
Mainstream media ¿ convince them to come to Belém – people knew to get around in Nairobi – what infrastructure is available in Belém ¿ send us some footage – are we sexy enough? –
International
Npa – what is on – you pull this down and - we give you 40 mn on indigenous in English - community tc and radio in Australia - how to put the network together that - people just need a product
Those that come to Belém have to be engaged in a space
Three different things
For uddahb a journalist that speaks hindi
For radio you need a group

Leo- saying everybody gets together
openfsm.net good tool for people that are in the process
those that are not : nobody will translate to german amarc to

if uddhab was not there would not know about Belém
if people do not go to Belém, they are not interested about Belém
resource person that we have in every country already involved in the process
have to contact a list of resource persons that we have and ask them to make a sort f an analysis a form in my network I don’t need radio I need three minutes everyday - I would need something in water
there, there can be a match between demand and offer - and they get into a same openfsm.net
systematization of demand

text in ic plenary - Intercommunication beyond distance in an expanding WSF process

A working group of the Commission is supporting development of horizontal inter-communication amongst all those who participate in the WSF process

The aim of this effort is to help participants develop in a self organised way links between themselves regardless of distance and sustain intercommunication in the context of a permanent and decentralized process
Moments of inter-communication through video-conferences, internet-chats and phone calls can be prepared in virtual spaces of openfsm.net, just like you prepare a meeting if you want it to be fruitful.

The decentralized modality of participation to WSF 2009 which is called “Belém expanded” is an occasion to develop these practices, linking activities in Belém with activities anywhere in around the world, and allowing organized groups to exchange ideas and proposals regardless if they travel to Belém or not

Communication commission invites organisations in IC to transmit this information to organizations and activists from our different countries and cultures that may want to participate to Belém expanded and to the development of forum social space

They are welcomed in the space of www.openfsm.net they can access the space called “ Belém expanded” and the intercommunication workgroup

Pierre – El Problema de popularizar openfsm en belme no es resolvido mientras no hay grupo que se encarga de eso
importante anotar que openfsm es herramienta para gente que se ubica concientemente dentro del espacio del fsm, distinguir este del sitio para la JAG que es mas amplio aunque estimulado por organisaciones participantes en el proceso del fsm

Permanent participation to global WSF open space

In order to expand permanent participation to the world social forum process, it is necessary to facilitate access to virtual open space such as openfsm.net to as many organisations as possible.
It is also necessary to be partially funding in a sustainable way free software communities politically articulated with WSF

This digital expansion of the process can be performed through a diversity of local “WSF permanent participation ” projects, that may interest donors, with a standard proportion of the fund raised being channelled to free software project providing those strategic intercommunication tools

Communication commission will circulate a draft project to foster training to use WSF websites, and suggest how to organize them. IC organisations are invited consider using it for local expansion and fundraising initiatives keeping in contact with the commission


Grupos webteam and wsf training - looking for creative financing

Andrea - make a story “train 1000 indigenous people in Belém about openfsm.net”
